Challenge
In many rural areas, foundational learning remains a significant challenge, with teachers often lacking access to effective training and modern teaching methodologies. As a result, students struggle to develop essential literacy and numeracy skills, impacting their overall educational outcomes. Addressing this issue is crucial for ensuring long-term academic success and empowerment in underserved communities.
SVM Solution
Smart Village Movement (SVM), in collaboration with Madhi Foundation, has launched the Foundational Learning Improvement Programme (FLIP) to bridge these learning gaps. Through a 3-day Teacher Training Program held in Williamnagar, East Garo Hills, SVM equips educators with the necessary tools and strategies to enhance Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) in schools. By leveraging innovative teaching methodologies and hands-on training, this initiative ensures that students receive the support they need to build strong academic foundations.
Partners

The success of the FLIP program is made possible through strategic partnerships. We acknowledge the invaluable support of Madhi Foundation, a leading organization in foundational education reform, and the Government of Meghalaya, which has played a key role in facilitating the pilot program across 100 schools in East Garo Hills.
