Education is a human right

Give everyone the opportunity to learn to read.

We are at a point in history where access to basic education is recognized as a human right. Literacy is the foundation of all learning, therefore, anyone who wants to learn to read should have the opportunity to do so. In an effort to step in where governments and societies have not, we are committed to helping build open solutions that anyone can use to learn to read.

Empower others.

From the individual child who wants to learn to read, all the way to an NGO working with an entire community, we work to empower our users to activate their own learning journey. The act of engaging learners through our library of learning resources makes the size of this undertaking tractable and inspires people at many levels of the global ecosystem.

Heading

Focus on the learner.

There are many stakeholders in the education process. Our focus is getting tools in the hands of the individual who is learning to read regardless of where in the world they are. While our focus is on reaching children, all learners worldwide are of equal importance. When we are faced with serving the learner or another stakeholder we will always choose the learner.

Collaborate instead of compete.

If we come across a new, easily accessible, solution for a problem we will do our best to integrate this solution into our existing innovation. Existing modules or software are a testimony to an active community with whom we want to engage.

Constantly measure effectiveness.

Data collection is an important part of our work as it provides an objective measure of our effectiveness and facilitates research. Together data and research create a positive cycle of constant improvement.

Only Exist As Long As Needed.

It is very rare for a literate parent to raise an illiterate child. If a whole generation can become literate, we can inoculate the planet against illiteracy. If we are successful, we will have helped create a world where Curious Learning is no longer needed. So on a regular basis, we should ask ourselves, is there a need for Curious Learning to continue?
