This article highlights a week-long training workshop held in Kananga, Kasaï Central, where more than 30 itinerant inspectors from the Ministry of Education were trained on World Vision’s Unlock Literacy 2.0 approach. Designed to tackle low reading comprehension rates among primary school pupils, where only 9% of Grade 3 children can read with understanding, the training equipped inspectors with the skills to integrate the method into the national curriculum, support teacher training, and provide ongoing coaching. Participants expressed strong commitment to applying the lessons learned, underscoring the programme’s role in strengthening foundational skills and promoting inclusive, quality education in the DRC.

In many rural parts of Zambia, schools struggle just to get enough water. This causes big problems like poor sanitation, hygiene issues, and limited chances for farming or other activities that could help students and their communities. That is how things used to be at Kasamba Secondary School in Zambia.

Angélique, a mother of eight in Kimbanseke, faced financial hardship when her husband lost his job. Through World Vision’s child sponsorship program, she received training in farming, poultry and duck raising, and saving techniques. Applying these skills, she improved her harvests, paid for her children’s education, including two who became nurses, and supported her son’s tailoring business. She now raises pigs and dreams of opening a pharmacy with her children. Grateful and empowered, Angélique says World Vision’s support transformed her family’s life.

In many rural schools across Zambia, a significant challenge persists: teachers often struggle to teach literacy in lower grades effectively. Despite the critical importance of developing strong reading and writing skills early on, many classrooms are marked by limited resources, inadequate training, and a focus on rote learning rather than holistic literacy development. As a result, many children enter upper primary school with weak foundational skills, hampering their overall academic progress and confidence.
