Nothing enhances learning like play and attention. Leading up to the launch of the Foundational Learning Action Tracker (FLAT) in Accra, key figures, including Dr. Pia Rebello Britto & @osmakkawi from @UNICEF & the Deputy Minister for Education, joined children in play, highlighting the impact of interaction and inclusive approaches in classrooms. The #FLAT aims to monitor country efforts in enhancing foundational learning, ensuring every child receives quality education. #EarlyLearning #InclusiveEducation | @moeghofficial @UNICEFEducation @gheduservice @EduCannotWait @unicefprotects @UNICEFAfrica @UNinGhana

Foundational skills like reading, math & social-emotional development are vital for children's growth. Yet, nearly 70% of 10-year-olds in low- & middle-income countries struggle with basic reading. #Ghana is co-hosting the launch of the 2025 Foundational Learning Action Tracker (FLAT) this week, created by UNICEF & Hempel Foundation to enhance foundational learning. #FLAT2025 #LearningForAll

Championing #FoundationsFirst! Decision makers from across Africa took stock of country progress during today's launch of the 2025 Foundational Learning Action Tracker, hosted by the Ghana Ministry of Education, Hempel Foundation and UNICEF in Accra. 🔗 unicef.org/reports/founda…

Progress in foundational learning is happening-but not quickly enough. The 2025 Foundational Learning Action Tracker reveals where accelerated action is needed: investing in teachers, classrooms, and systems, so every child can learn. unicef.org/reports/founda…

Strong partnerships, along with foundational learning, drive real change. It was inspiring to see partners engaging with children at Madina SDA Primary, including the Ministry of Education, the Hempel Foundation, UNICEF, and global stakeholders. The students displayed confidence in their literacy and numeracy skills, and their enthusiasm for learning was clearly evident. #FLAT2025 #TeachersMatter #FoundationalLearning
