DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION

The Rural Education Project (REP) aims to improve foundational literacy and numeracy among primary school children by implementing the teaching at the right level (TaRL) methodology in underserved rural communities in Eastern Nigeria.

The venture aims to implement the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) model to address gaps in foundational literacy and numeracy among primary school children in Eastern Nigeria. The pilot will be implemented over three months in three primary schools in the Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State, reaching approximately 300 learners. The participating schools are Community Primary School, Ufodo; Community Primary School, Owerre-Eze; and Township School, Aji.

Their distribution model is designed around sustainability and local ownership. They will work in partnership with government education authorities, school leadership, and community stakeholders to train classroom teachers and volunteers in the TaRL methodology. These trained instructors will then deliver targeted learning sessions to pupils, grouping and teaching them according to their actual learning levels rather than their age or grade. The attribute that sets them apart is their deep-rooted relationship with the communities in which they work.

REP is a vibrant team united by a shared purpose and passion to ensure that every child learns to read, write, and perform simple arithmetic. They bring deep experience and proven commitment to projects of this nature through past and ongoing engagements in education and community development in their community and beyond. The team includes a certified TaRL Master Trainer, an experienced early childhood educator, and others with complementary skills who are not only qualified but also deeply embedded in the communities they serve.
