Why
Teachers are not able to recognize whether a child is dyslectic. Instead of giving these children the special attention they need, they are often accused of being lazy or being bad students. Parents don't have a clue that their child may need special attention. They are often discouraged by the bad school results that they take their children off school.
How
This project will raise general awareness on dyslexia at schools, public instances and a teachers school. We will train 300 teachers, school directors and future teachers in identifying children with dyslexia and in the appropriate educational methods to help these children to improve their performance.
What
Teachers and parents in Maroua have no clue that dyslexia exists. With this project we would like to change that, because we believe that every child should have a chance to finish school. Children with dyslexia deserve a better future!
