Historically, formal education was propagated by religious institutions as a way of spreading and preserving their traditions as well as training clergy. Although schools and religious institutions existed long before the 19th century, education was not compulsory and, in the majority of cases, costly. What is more, the value of a child’s labour meant that only the richest families could afford to educate their children, a phenomenon that still exists in many developing countries today. Investment in quality early learning/pre-primary education so that young children are ‘ready for school’ has high positive impacts on primary school enrolment, survival and learning, and is cost-effective. In India, primary education forms a part of elementary education or compulsory education from ages 1 to 14 years.

These approaches drew strength from Israel's medium-to-low rankings on international scales of scholastic performance, and from growing criticism of instructional methods that gave pupils excessive degrees of creative and scholastic latitude.

Our learner-centred approach is characterised by workshops, tutorials, seminars, self-study and lectures, supported by an online learning environment. Courses are assessed through a variety of approaches, including written, oral, coursework and school-based assessments.
