Early Literacy and Numeracy
Early literacy and numeracy transform children into lifelong learners, improving their chances for higher education - a path out of poverty.
The Philippines ranks one of the lowest among Asian countries in Science and Math. Public school National Achievement Tests (NAT) mean scores are 20 points lower than expected levels.
We partner with Knowledge Channel Foundation to improve this. With multi-media learning tools, children can read, write, and do math better and faster. We train teachers so they can be more competent. The result is a 3-point increase in mean NAT scores, according to a University of the Philippines study.
“Basa Bilang” Teacher Training
Together with the Knowledge Channel Foundation, we conduct a 3-day training session for teachers. They learn the use of new teaching pedagogies to help young learners read.
