Africa Educational Trust: Speak Up 2
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 988,455 to Africa Educational Trust for work in South Sudan, dated 27 May 2015.
Overview
Over 20 years of conflict and poverty left 77% of adults (84% of females) in South Sudan non-literate. Many of these are returnees and internally displaced people. Increasing English literacy is vital, as it is now the official language for all education and business. This project will apply REFLECT adult literacy methods to English teaching in South Sudan. It follows a successful previous project but now includes non-literate learners. Each of two 18 month courses will comprise twelve months' group literacy work, followed by six months' aural practice using radio and pod cast interactive lessons. Its method emphasizes self-empowerment and inclusivity, building trust and self-confidence.
