About the organisation

Education Development Trust (EDT) will join the School Readiness Initiative (SRI) as a strategic partner. As the SRI Strategy 2019–2025 ends, the initiative is transitioning into a consolidation and sustainability planning phase (2025–2028). This final phase will focus on ensuring that the gains made under the SRI are institutionally and financially sustainable through the handover of responsibilities, tools, and resources from implementing partners and the Roger Federer Foundation to the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE). The consolidation phase of the SRI will focus on finalizing and integrating outstanding interventions and tools developed throughout the initiative, alongside the national scale-up of the Smart Tablet Early Learning Assessment (STELA) tool—adopted by MoPSE in April 2025—to all 8,014 primary schools and ECE A learners (ages 3–4). A key component of this effort will be the development and rollout of a cost-effective national capacity-building package delivered through MoPSE’s Continuous Professional Development (CPD) structure. Additionally, the initiative will support the integration of SRI practices into the teacher training curricula of 14 colleges, whose first cohort of SRI-aligned graduates will begin deployment in 2026. To ensure inclusivity, the SRI will also assist in strengthening the quality of education in Community ECE Centres, which serve a large population of early learners in underserved areas..
