Equipping rural educators with the know-how to implement the ECD curriculum with sustainable and resuable means
Publishing and distributing self thaught English books (in local languages) across the most challenging, rural and dry zone communities across the ages for 6 - 18yrs.
Based on 25 years of ECD experience, we have identified critical gaps that affect children, teachers and parents across Sri Lanka.
Fragmented Curriculum and Educator Gap
Lack of strong links between preschools, primary schools and government with no unified, subject‑integrated an theme based curriculum and limited teacher upgrading and capacity building pathways
Limited or No Access to English
Many families lack guidance on how to prepare best for early brain development, nutrition and school readiness due to limited rescources across rural Sri Lanka
Low Parental Awareness (Education, Health and Nutrition)
WHAT WE SEE
Key issues in early childhood development
Scarcity of English teachers in rural Sri Lankan limiting students grasping the language before entering higher education institutions(national/international) setting them at an clear disadvantage
