On Wednesday, March 1, we start the Every Child Deserves a Story (FCMP) project in Iași county, in partnership with the UiPath Foundation and the Iași County School Inspectorate.
Every Child Deserves a Story (Fiecare Copil Merită o Poveste – FCMP) is a multifaceted initiative that expands young children’s vocabulary and improves their language skills by enhancing the kindergarten and home literacy environment in poor rural communities through a set of interventions:
- Providing My First Book to take home for children who have little or no books at home;
- Providing literacy-focused training to preschool teachers, and equipping them with quality educational materials;
- Supporting the development of a community of motivated preschool teachers who share best practices.
Aligning with the Ministry of Education strategy, OvidiuRO is focusing its main interventions on the schools included in the National Program for the Reduction of School Dropouts (Programul Național pentru Reducerea Abandonului Școlar – PNRAS).
Thanks to the UiPath Foundation strategic partnership, OvidiuRO will be able to offer dedicated literacy training sessions to all the interested preschool teachers in the county, book kits to 150 kindergarten groups (out of 255), a set of two books for all 58 local coordinators from the eligible schools, and My First Book to approx. 1000 children in the most impoverished communities.
