Other special areas of our education work

Local Language Teaching and Learning Materials - Local language teaching and learning materials comprise community generated reading materials, teaching and learning materials made from locally available resources. These materials provide a way for children and their families to access important information, provide a variety of platforms for learning and knowledge sharing, and spaces for community advocacy.

Creating Teaching and Learning Materials - In order to support the development and use of teaching and learning materials, World Vision recognises strength in the confluence of community engagement, capacity building of local stakeholders, and contextualisation and location in order to achieve long term sustainability.
