Skill-Based Learning: The program emphasizes skill-building in reading, writing, and problem-solving across subjects to strengthen students’ academic skills.

Continuous Assessment: Regular assessments and evaluations help teachers monitor students’ progress, identify ongoing learning gaps, and adjust instructional methods accordingly.
-
Teacher Training: Teachers receive training to effectively address learning losses, employ diagnostic assessments, and adapt instructional techniques to diverse learning needs.
