After a year of impactful work across three states, the LearnovateFlip Project, implemented by Quality Education Development Associates (QEDA) with support from Oando Foundation, has successfully closed out, leaving behind a legacy of improved learning outcomes, community empowerment, and strengthened education systems.
The close-out ceremony, attended by education stakeholders, parents, beneficiaries, partners, and media, provided an opportunity to showcase the project’s achievements and highlight its far-reaching impact on public primary education in Sokoto, Ebonyi, and Plateau States.
The project, which covered six Local Government Areas (two per state) and directly supported 60 public primary schools (20 per state), recorded impressive results:
-
-
Capacity Development: A total of 312 teachers and 110 head teachers/administrative staff received intensive training to enhance classroom engagement and improve school administration, setting the stage for stronger learning outcomes.
