shannon may brjdges international #BR9


                               
We've been busy running Bridge nurseries and schools plus supporting government schools and teachers over the last month. Hear about some of the highlights: 
  • A new UK Government DFID report makes landmark findings that parents' income is not related to strong learning in Bridge schools in Lagos
  • Nigerian government teachers celebrate as 7,000 of them graduate from Bridge training
  • The IFC show their support for Bridge at the World Bank's annual meetings
  • We meet Everline, a top pupil sitting her end of school exams in Kenya
  • A London think tank looks at the evidence of our outcomes and praises Bridge's work
                                                                   
A new UK Government DFID report ‘Learning in Lagos’  revealed that in our schools in Nigeria family background was not correlated to children’s high learning outcomes. The DFID report makes a landmark finding that in Bridge schools children enjoy equal learning benefits. Parents' income, education, and speaking English at home had no link to their children's academic performance in Bridge. The report states: “Students from better socioeconomic backgrounds have higher learning achievement in private and public schools, but not at Bridge schools.” 
                               
A London think tank, Centre for Policy Studies, supports Bridge's work tackling the global learning crisis. The author says the global education shortage is a combination of children out of school and children in school not learning. The think tank outlines how Bridge is working to improve the situation: "Bridge schools in Lagos are delivering an education that is both of a higher standard and more equitable than the alternatives."  The author, Oliver Wiseman, goes on to say that "Bridge looks a lot like a good news story: not just more schools in parts of the world that need them, but an approach that appears to be working where others have failed."

In Benin City, Nigeria, seven thousand government teachers have been celebrating their graduation into the local government's new education improvement programme called EdoBEST. These teachers in over 600 schools are now educating around 150,000 children across Edo state. The aim of EdoBEST is to improve the state’s 1,500 public primary and junior secondary schools; develop the skills of 15,000 government teachers and impact 300,000 pupils over a 4 year programme. Bridge is proud to be the technical partner on the teacher development and instructional design element of the programme. We are focused on supporting the Government to enhance teacher capacity and capability through a training programme that leverages technology and empowers teachers to improve learning outcomes.

Philippe Le Houérou, CEO of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) was interviewed at the World Bank’s annual meetings in Bali. Houérou outlined why investments in private sector actors are key to the success of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. He expressed his support for Bridge's work saying “I grew up in Africa. It’s a situation of very bad public services in health and education. Repeating the same old recipe and expecting a better outcome is weird. Same cause, same consequences. We owe it to the kids, to the next generation, to try new things. We try with Bridge. I do believe that experimenting is good and we’re using economists to do evaluations."

The World Economic Forum published an opinion editorial by Adesuwa Ifedi, Bridge Vice President of Policy and Partnerships for Africa. She writes about education reform in Nigeria highlighting the Edo government initiative and the UK DFID report. Adesuwa Ifedi says that what’s underway in the country is a huge boost for children. She highlights how innovative models, strong leadership and higher levels of learning attainment are transforming state schools across the region. Ifedi adds: “Strong political leadership and a clear vision demonstrate that state schools in Nigeria can be high quality, today. A generation of children can receive transformational learning opportunities enabling growth and prosperity in a state where 60% live below the poverty line.”

Meet Everline Sumuni who goes to Bridge Kwa Reuben in Nairobi, Kenya
 
She's been a Bridge pupil for six years now after moving from her public school. She says: "I was learning nothing. I knew I had to improve."

Her school is in one of Kenya's biggest slums, Mukuru, which is home to 100,000 people and sits on wasteland by the Nairobi river. Everline is t
he youngest in her family and currently, she is sitting her end of primary school exam (KCPE). At 14, she is very motivated to succeed, not least by a determination to beat her sibling's scores! She's is on track to score 400+ marks in her exams; which would put her in the top 1% of pupils nationwide.

Good luck Everline!
