Update on literacy classes: there were 1,037 students studying literacy in AIL centers in June. Other students who are unable to get to class take advantage of education offered through Radio Meraj and AIL’s Meraj Academy. The latter is provided on TV Meraj with a daily, televised high school curriculum for grades 7-12.
The mobile literacy class uses the mobile phone to teach the alphabet and reading through texting with teachers and classmates. In 4 months, students progress to a 4th grade level of reading which is much faster than through traditional literacy class.
"Aqeela said, I am a woman who lost the chance of being educated when I was a teen. I am so happy for having the chance to take part in this class. I heard good things about the class and this persuaded me to come here and participate. In the past 4 months I learned to be a new person educated in reading and writing. Moreover, I learned to be a skillful woman who is able to change the rest of her life."
