To date, 14,000 learners have completed our year-long after-school program and we enrolled our 16,224th learner in February 2021.
We are data-driven in our approach and in measuring ourselves, continuously improving or maintaining the strong impact that we create in our programs, including excellent attendance, persistence, quality instruction, and content knowledge improvement. Using our internally developed online learner management system (LMS) and our external evaluation results conducted by Ukufunda Education Consulting we measured the following impact in 2020:
90%
average attendance rate in all Numeric after-school classes
97%
average persistence in our program (in other words, for every 100 children who started our program in February 2020, 97 completed the program in November)· We are especially proud of this achievement considering that our learners continued to receive support through distance learning during the period of lockdown
