What policymakers & pedagogues say

"Dr. Sunita Gandhi’s innovative ALfA method allows learners of all ages to quickly master essential foundational skills. It surpasses traditional methods, promoting holistic learning. Learning happens in pairs, embedding critical 21st-century skills into the curriculum."

Ms Aicha Bah Diallo

Former Minister of Education, Guinea

"Despite all the efforts, still a large proportion of students are suffering from low literacy. Why? It's because we are repeatedly doing the same thing in the same way. Thank you Dr Sunita for coming up with a totally new strategy for teaching literacy and numeracy. Rather than taking years, students can learn in just three months."

Dr Abdullah Rasheed Ahmad

Former State Education Minister, Maldives

"Dr Sunita Gandhi's dream is brilliant, huge, ambitious and daring. What I love about the ALfA kits is that they accelerate the process for readers across the world. I have used them with students I teach. The toolkits meet the learners at their instructional level. I love the fact that kids are building on their background knowledge. "
