Improved Reading at Kula Primary School
Exactly one year ago Creating Change provided Kula Primary School with much needed teaching and learning materials. This was done through our ‘Rural Education Material Project’ which aims to improve quality of education through the provision of reading and writing materials, art supplies, and sports equipment. Kula Primary received exercise books, library books, pencils, pens, and textbooks. No more than a year later, we’re thrilled to see the effects of this project demonstrated in the students’ improved reading ability!
As Rural Schools Officer, Benedicta (Create Change staff member) holds examinations for students to evaluate their reading skills; she reported great success here. In years past, there were on average only a couple of students who qualified to graduate to Junior High. However, this year there are 8, with everyone in the 6th grade now being able to read.
The teachers at Kula are confident that the increase in the students’ reading ability is attributed to the new books. Sadly the school doesn’t have enough furniture for all of the students to sit at a desk as you can see in these pictures; another project waiting in the wings for the future.
We extend our congratulations to these exemplary students and teachers, who are making the most of what they have to work with.
