Project Report | Sep 10, 2025
2025 Learner Voices

By Jo Besford | Director

We recently asked our learners to share their voices through a “Talk To Us” survey - and an incredible 1,993 learners responded. Their words show the real difference your support is making through Green Shoots’ Maths Curriculum Online (MCO).

Here are just a few of their reflections:

  • “It helps me to understand maths, be proud of myself, and stop thinking that maths is hard and stressing.”

  • “Brain Quests help me improve my marks on tests and show me where I can do better.”
  • “At first I did not like math, but now I love it so much. I enjoy it because of MCO.”

From the nearly two thousand voices, a powerful theme shines through: learners are gaining confidence, enjoyment, and belief in their own ability to succeed in Maths. Learners are reporting that they are getting better marks in tests & on reports!

Because of your generosity, children in no-fee schools -many of whom once struggled with Maths - are now saying: “I believe in myself.”  Families are seeing improved marks, teachers are celebrating new levels of engagement, and learners are discovering the joy of learning & achieving.

On behalf of every child who added their voice to the survey, and the many more who are benefiting every day: thank you. Your support is not only changing numbers on a report - it is transforming mindsets and futures.

With deep gratitude,
