Despite government supported distance education and blended learning programs, most education systems in developing economies could not adequately support children’s learning in hard-to-reach areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. A majority of the content was not mapped to the local contexts of children and without teachers to help them navigate across this unfamiliar content, the learning gains may have been limited for young learners. We believe that there is potential in utilizing community knowledge to support foundational literacy and numeracy of children. The inclusion of materials from local communities can enhance the variety of teaching-learning material. ELTU aims to collect, collate, adapt, and adopt indigenous learning resources to make the learning experiences in camps richer and more contextual for children and teachers. The primary objective of the project is to develop a repository of indigenous learning materials (games, songs, stories, riddles, puzzles, ice breakers, dances etc.) to strengthen children’s foundational literacy and numeracy. ELTU will support FLN with contextually relevant content that will empower children and community participation in their learning. Localized content will also support home-based learning by providing parents and community members teaching-learning material that they can relate to and use.
