The goals of "Village Early Education Center (VECC) or 山村幼儿园" project are to provide accessible, low cost and quality early education by building infrastructure and organising teachers for the pre-schools in rural and mountainous villages. While the "hardware" is ready, the next phase is to address the "software" aspects - with the goal to close the cognitive development gaps between the urban and rural children- the foundation of poverty alleviation. Two Key "software" problems which this project targets to address are follows:The combination of the above 2 problems creates further issues of scalability, sustainabilty and provision of quality education in these pre-schools.
- Lack of trained teachers - as most teachers are young volunteers without formal training in early-childhood education.
- Lack of quality teaching programs- with limited teaching material available, the schools lack an easy-to-use teaching system with the right pedagogy (especially addressing cognitive development)
Jnrlink Learning Solutions (patented) addresses these problems by providing a low-cost, scalable and sustainable solution. Our solution comprises 4 key pillars:For more information on this project, please refer to our slide deck.
- Mass Training for Teachers - Train & equip local teachers quickly to programs effectively through an intensive 2-3 day training program (repeated 6 monthly) plus system of leveraging "better qualified" teachers as Master Trainers to monitor and mentor weaker teachers
- Scalable Self-Sustaining Program - Curriculum-embedded in easy-to-use technology (only TV required, no internet access needed) through a simple Jnrlink Android box
- Science-based Easy Scripted Teaching - Pedagogy developed to target cognitive and language development with Teacher's Manual outlining detailed easy-to-use scripted lesson plans reducing teacher’s workload and lesson planning
- Sustainable Quality Outcomes - APP-based assessment system that requires teachers to provide regular feedback to ensure consistent learning outcomes
