This means we can now officially introduce to you a new cooperation between Correctbook, Edukans and BlueTree Group. Together we aim to approach primary education in Africa in a new and sustainable way. Our programme is called Correctbook Active Teaching and Learning and combines the educational expertise of Edukans with the sustainable Correctbook writing materials. Blue Tree Group makes this all possible by bringing in their expertise on all the necessary logistic processes in Africa to produce and spread the needed products.
The fact that the Post code lottery supports this new concept is very meaningfull and says a lot about the potential of this programme. This financial contribution is the start of this unique project to improve education in Ethiopia, Malawi, Kenya, Uganda and Ghana. Within the programme, 400.000 primary school children in these countries will receive a Correctbook with the Correctbook pens and ink.
