Addressing Limited Reading Materials in Maldivian Schools to Improve Literacy Rates
Executive Summary, National assessment of student learning outcomes and other evaluations of student learning in the Maldives show shortcomings in students literacy and numeracy One of the main causes was the limited reading materials available for students However due to budget constraints it was considered not practical to purchase the required reading materials Therefore the National Institute of Education came up with an idea to develop and disseminate reading materials to school by empowering classroom teachers as writers This innovative programme was about developing reading materials for children in the preprimary age group by developing teacher capacity to be writers
