Lifteracy brings together key

elements of three of the best buys

in education (World Bank report):

Differentiated Learning

Many students get left behind in a curriculum that moves at a single pace for all, whereas all students thrive when learning is individualised. Lifteracy takes each learner on a personalised journey, giving each exactly the right type and amount of practice needed.

Structured Pedagogy

A holistic, integrated package of training, learning materials and assessments helps reduce teacher workload and enables them to follow evidence-based approaches. Lifteracy integrates learning and assessment seamlessly, and ensures consistency in pedagogy.

Mass Communication

Providing information to parents on the costs, benefits and quality of education is a highly scalable, low cost intervention that can empower parents to make good decisions for their children. Through daily messages, Lifteracy builds a relationship with parents.
