Primary Education
Our education programs ensure that primary school-aged children, especially girls, have an enriched learning experience and leave school with improved literacy skills.
Research shows that only a third of 10-year-olds can read and understand a simple written story. Around the world, too many children aren't learning the academic and holistic skills they need to thrive.
We train teachers on how to integrate play into their lessons to make learning engaging and inclusive for all students, with a special focus on girls and children with disabilities. Learning literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional skills becomes easier and more fun. And when learners’ participation and contributions are valued, children are encouraged to tap into their curiosity, collaborate with their peers, and problem-solve.
IMPROVED LITERACY
In Tanzania, children in Right To Play-supported schools were 2.5x more likely to be proficient readers than children in non-supported schools.
We also offer students opportunities to keep learning outside the classroom through Reading Clubs and in community settings. And we work with educational officials and ministries to integrate play-based learning into education policies and curriculum to support children’s learning and development for generations to come.
