Foundational Learning Systems
The Foundation For All Future Learning
Children who cannot read by age ten will struggle to learn anything else. Foundational literacy and numeracy are not optional. They are the platform on which every other skill is built. ACHILD Kenya strengthens the systems that deliver early learning.


The Reality
Studies indicate that, only four in ten children in our counties can read at grade level by age ten. Teachers are undertrained and under resourced, especially at the preschool level. Most learners at the elementary level learn in dilapidated buildings where classrooms leak and children sit on floors. The Pupil-teacher ratios often reaches 73 to 1. Pre-schools have no course books, limited meals, and inadequate funiture. Often children in rural schools arrive hungry and leave having learned nothing.
