🚨 70% anak Indonesia mengalami learning poverty. Ini bukan sekadar krisis membaca. Ini krisis masa depan bangsa. Learning poverty berarti anak usia sekitar 10 tahun belum mampu membaca dan memahami teks sederhana. Bukan sekadar belum lancar mengeja, tetapi belum mampu menangkap makna. Mengapa bisa sampai 70%? Karena pendidikan terlalu lama direduksi menjadi sekolah, ujian, dan hafalan. Anak kurang dibacakan cerita, kurang dilatih memahami alur, sebab-akibat, imajinasi, kosakata, dan makna. Dampaknya sangat serius: generasi yang lemah literasi akan mudah tertipu hoaks, sulit berpikir kritis, lemah daya saing, dan hanya menjadi penonton di era AI. Karena itu, Vox Point Indonesia meluncurkan digital storytelling berbasis AI: 📖 Kisah Santo bersama Ki Petrus 🌺 Cerita Rakyat Nyi Dayat Dongeng harus masuk ke layar anak-anak. Kalau layar sudah menguasai mereka, maka layar harus kita rebut untuk mencerdaskan mereka.

The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) hosted a seminar titled “𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲,” featuring Dr. Javed Ahmed Malik, Team Leader of the British Council’s ILMpact Programme. The session was moderated by Dr. Zulfiqar Ali (@Kalhorozulfiqar), Associate Professor at #PIDE. The seminar highlighted the growing challenge of learning poverty in Pakistan and South Asia, emphasizing how weak foundational literacy and numeracy skills continue to limit educational and economic opportunities. Dr. Malik argued that the issue extends beyond classrooms, noting that institutional weaknesses and governance failures often hinder meaningful reform. A key takeaway from the session was that overcoming learning poverty requires stronger institutions, sustained policy commitment, and inclusive reforms to ensure every child acquires the skills needed to progress in life.

Six principles to tackle #learningpoverty 1. Start with a strategic vision 2. Undertake planning for scale, not just for a pilot 3. Define and prioritize core elements ( lesson plans , materials , assessments ) 4. Mobilize the right actors for collaboration (teachers , administrators, coalescing around the learning objective) 5. Use evidence to adapt and evolve (monitor and learn from what works ) 6. Design for sustainability from the start See blog by my colleagues Toby Linden and @ElenaRoseo blogs.worldbank.org/en/educa…

In Botswana, the Ministry of Child Welfare, UNICEF, and @youthimpactorg are tackling learning poverty through Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) - an innovative, evidence-based approach that groups children by ability instead of age and focuses on foundational reading and math. With over 20 000 children reached and nearly half of all primary schools engaged, TaRL is helping learners catch up and thrive, positioning Botswana as a global leader in education innovation. | Youth Impact Co-Founder @TshepiMatsheng #ForEveryChild #EducationForAll #LearningPoverty #TaRL #UNICEFBotswana #YouthImpact #BotswanaEducation #MinistryOfChildWelfare #SDG4

Zero non-readers by age 10? It’s possible—but only with the right data. In Nairobi, we worked with 🇰🇪 🇺🇬 & partners to design an accountability tool to track progress toward ending #LearningPoverty. #FLEX2024 #EducationInAfrica

Learning poverty in Pakistan is driven largely by a shortage of teachers and poor infrastructure. @MalalaFund, alongside our partner @tabadlab , we’re trying to understand and uncover the root causes of out-of-school children and producing evidence to guide smarter policy and planning. Excited to see this research drive action—from classrooms to cabinets. Because every child deserves the chance to learn, thrive, and lead. #EducationForAll #LearningPoverty #EvidenceToAction #GirlsEducation
