We believe that when students are competent in English, digital and self-learning skills, they have the necessary tools to take charge of their own learning and future lives, improve their knowledge and skills and develop their interests and future potential. OPEnE will continue in this, by strengthening spoken English education, to complement the already developed English language material for years 1-10 and the e-Booster course for Ordinary Level.

There is a need to educate both parents and children on the many career pathways available based on their aptitudes, skills, and competencies.

Most children of OPEnE’s target communities do not have access to online education due to either network issues or connectivity costs being unaffordable. OPEnE has distributed smart boards, pen drives and education material to schools, facilitating the use of digital learning resources and alleviating some of the connectivity issues during COVID.

Capacity building of teachers is an important part of our work. We conduct training and mentoring in teaching English language, interactive methodologies, use of digital resources, and psychosocial care.

We also work to raise environmental awareness in schools and communities, promoting conservation practices and encouraging school environment clubs.

OPEnE works closely with the local government bodies, the Department of Education, and schools in the regions we work. Our intention is to promote quality education for life, not just exams, and equal education opportunities among children.

We also promote positive values among children and awareness of child rights. Our programs include the strengthening of School Development Societies (Parent-Teacher associations) to play an active role in promoting child rights and advocating for quality education.
