Programs

 The Basic Literacy and Numeracy (BLN) Program for children aged 9 to 14 is designed to equip out-of-school children ( with minimum two years of dropping out) with writing, reading  and math skills. Targeting children who have faced barriers to formal education, the program emphasizes not just academic learning but also emotional and social development, ensuring a holistic approach to education.

A key feature of the program is its Psychosocial Support (PSS), which creates a safe and nurturing learning environment. Many of the children in the program may have experienced trauma or difficult life circumstances. To address these challenges, the program incorporates Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), helping students build resilience, manage their emotions, and develop healthy social relationships. SEL fosters essential life skills such as empathy, self-regulation, and collaboration, ensuring that children not only catch up academically but also thrive emotionally and socially.

The BLN program also integrates technology to enhance learning outcomes. Through the use of digital tools such as educational apps, online platforms, and interactive learning resources, students receive personalized support that allows them to learn at their own pace. This focus on digital literacy ensures that children gain crucial skills for navigating an increasingly digital world, preparing them for future opportunities in education and beyond.

In addition to academic and technological support, the program embraces educational approaches such as project-based learning. This method encourages active participation, critical thinking, and problem-solving by allowing students to apply their literacy and numeracy skills in real-world contexts. These hands-on experiences deepen students' understanding and make learning more engaging and relevant to their lives.

The BLN Program ultimately serves as a bridge to formal education, preparing students with the skills and confidence needed to re-enter school or continue their learning journey independently. By addressing both the academic and emotional needs of children, the program aims to reduce the risk of long-term educational exclusion and promote lifelong learning.

ECE prepares young children for formal schooling by focusing on linguistic, cognitive, psychomotor, social, and emotional development. The program integrates psychosocial support through nurturing, safe learning environments where children learn how to manage their emotions and interact socially. Technology is introduced in age-appropriate ways, such as interactive games and educational videos that foster learning. Social-emotional learning is a cornerstone of ECE, teaching children foundational skills in emotional regulation, empathy, and collaboration. Upon successful completion, children are often referred to formal schools in collaboration with MEHE, with certificates signifying their readiness for primary education​.
