Through the CLEF initiative, the National Program for the Improvement of Early Learning (PNAPAS) is transforming primary classrooms.
Every child now has access to their own textbooks, teachers are being trained in an innovative way, and pedagogical advisors provide ongoing coaching.
These are tangible actions for quality education—closer to every child.
Coming soon on our channels: an exclusive interview, an in-depth field report, and a detailed feature article showcasing this ambitious reform led by the Ministry of National Education and Literacy.
Stay tuned!
CLEF is a commitment to:
- Get more children into school.
- Make sure children learn at school.
- Achieve impact at scale; we want to make a difference in the lives of more than 4 million children by 2027.
CLEF funds school infrastructure and childcare facilities, supports teacher training in evidence-based pedagogical techniques, promotes behavior change so parents engage in their children’s education and apply good parenting practices to boost early childhood development, and tests a cutting-edge school nutrition program.
CLEF welcomes new partners: contact us to learn more about the initiative and to get involved.
