Backed By Expert Research

Professor Brahm Fleisch from the University of the Witwatersrand, a leading education researcher in South Africa, conducted an important study on a pilot education program. His research offered a detailed evaluation of the program's effectiveness. The results, as presented in his report, are very positive.

  • A 45% improvement in children reaching the benchmark from 29% to 42%.
  • Grade R's improved their letter sound knowledge by 100% while Grade 1s improve by 27%.
  • With focused training and support, youth are able to improve reading outcomes with a relatively small dosage of training (2 days).
  • There is great potential in providing a set of low cost LTSM at the level of the youth to work with learners in small groups.
