The Mansour Company has partnered with Kheir Wa Baraka NGO to provide better education for primary students in the Al-Asmarat neighborhood. The “Read” program, which aims to improve and develop the reading and writing skills of students in primary education, has had a successful pilot test in the Tahya Misr schools of the Al-Asmarat district.
The “Read” program is aimed at improving the educational level of students in all subjects and preparing them to benefit from various learning resources. The initiative began with a 5-day training course for Arabic language teachers on the “Guideline for the Development of Reading and Writing Skills,” which included a set of practical applications to provide the participating teachers with the necessary skills to implement the program with the children.
A pretest was conducted with over 184 students in Tahya Misr Schools in the Al-Asmarat district to identify their levels of writing and reading skills. One hundred and three students between the ages of 10 to 12 were selected to join the 4-month course, which included over 21 sessions with no more than 25 students per session. The average improvement in the children’s writing and reading skills was 154% from their pre-and post-tests. The program ended in February 2022, and the children successfully passed the course and were honored with prizes and gifts. The participating teachers were also recognized and given certificates of appreciation for their role in the success of the program.
Due to the success of the program, The Mansour Company and Kheir Wa Baraka NGO have decided to scale up the project to benefit another 300 children, with 150 in the Al-Asmarat district and another 150 in the Aswan governorate. The program will continue to improve the educational level of primary students and provide them with the necessary skills to succeed in their academic and personal lives.
In conclusion, the partnership between Kheir Wa Baraka NGO and The Mansour Company has been a great success, with the “Read” program providing better education for primary students in the Al-Asmarat neighborhood. The program has shown significant improvements in the reading and writing skills of the participating students and has resulted in a plan to scale up the project to benefit more children. The program is a testament to The Mansour Company’s commitment to providing better education for young generations and improving their participation in their communities.
