The initiative breaks through the current challenges limiting learning opportunities to many students including, learning practices that end at school; overcrowded classes which reduce students’ learning attention; insufficient students text books, teaching and learning resources; and unaffordable costs to access remedial sessions after schools’ hours especially, to underserved children.
The initiative supports friendly learning environment to students with difficulty in mastering literacy, numeracy and other subject skills during classroom learning sessions; it enables students to revise classes, it enables students to take notes and carry out previous lessons exercise taught in case he/she missed them due to sickness or menstruation period challenges to girls.
