A Better Africa Foundation

A Better Africa Foundation We promote Learn Ready Literacy Southern Africa faces serious challenges around its basic education systems. Spell It!

Many children still leave primary school without the necessary literacy or numeracy to progress into secondary or tertiary education. UNESCO reports that fewer than 25% of grade 6 children reached the ‘desirable’ level of reading literacy in Botswana, Kenya, South Africa and Swaziland and fewer than 10% in Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Uganda and Zambia (source: Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2009). This simple statistic translates into fewer children accessing higher education, limited employment opportunities and a continuation of the cycle of poverty. is a programme aimed to support African education systems by partnering with them at the primary level to ensure each learner has the opportunity to achieve a good level of English literacy by the time they graduate to High School. It also aims to build excitement and momentum around learning and academic achievement.
