CUP – Catchup Project funded by World Vision

World Vision initiated the Catch-Up Programme (CUP) in response to COVID-19 education disruption.

CUP focuses on the acquisition of early-grade literacy and numeracy skills in vulnerable communities.

It is designed to provide safe, play-based, inclusive and carefully sequenced instruction at the right level that also addresses the social-emotional learning of children.

The three key actions of the CUP project are:

1. Mobilizes communities to support children’s learning.
2. Supports the well-being of community facilitators.
3. Forges partnerships with schools and teachers to provide holistic support.

The Open University will support World Vision through mixed-methods research to explore the effectiveness, relevance and adaptation of the CUP programme.
