Too many children live
without access to education. This is an all-too-well-documented reality. Much
time, money and thought have been spent trying to address this
issue, yet the size and scope of the problem remain
overwhelming. The most monumental challenge is that of providing
education to the 20 million children that are currently refugees or have been
internally displaced in their own country.
I am working with a
group that has a simple idea that could make a big difference. A simple
idea that has already proven itself as a practical program that supports
teachers and instructors faced with large groups of children at different
stages of learning, different grade levels, different levels of
maturity.
The RiVER MGML Model is a
quality, award winning education program that has been developed, delivered and
proven in India and has been adapted and implemented in other parts of the
world.
What makes RiVER so powerful:
The goal is to integrate children into existing, formal education systems. The reality faced is one of too many children for any existing education system. An enormous void currently exists between the reality of no real, substantive learning and established, formal learning. We would like to help change that reality.
