Since 2014, RFF is investing in early childhood education in Namibia. Currently, a national-wide School Readiness Initiative is running. It's a seven-year programme in order to give the most vulnerable Namibian young learners a good start into education.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, a high number of 21% of children of primary school age are not in school - compared to only 2% in Europe and 9% globally. It's time to close this gap.

Children develop and learn through play
Play stimulates mental and emotional as well as physical development.
Through play children learn to use their bodies, develop imagination, learn how to interact with others and create meaningful relationships.

A teacher can change a pupil's life. But the higher the pupil-teacher ratio, the more challenging to focus on each pupil individually. The chart shows a national average! In rural areas there are often more than 100 pupils per teacher. What an impossible mission.
