Testimonials
“Providing an anchor to the education system is crucial when schools close; the longer you wait, the higher the chances children will not return. Rising On Air allows partners and governments to mobilise quality radio and SMS content quickly, and importantly, in their own voice. I am impressed by the growing community working together on this project”
— Honorable George K Werner, Former Minister of Education, Liberia
“For IEI Pakistan, this program is a unique opportunity to take learning to students facing the digital divide in this pandemic. The lesson scripts encourage student engagement & are structured to support modifications required for regional contexts. We were able to take the first lesson script, translate it and record it in 2 days! The team at Rising is very supportive & the connections this partnership is creating are valuable during & post corona”
— Marvi Soomro, Founder of IEI
“Impact Network has been thrilled with our partnership with Rising Academies so far! Rising Academies has been welcoming, open, and happy to share well-developed, high-quality radio resources for adaptation to other settings. Their initiative, Rising On Air, has provided us with weeks’ worth of content at just the right levels – early childhood, lower primary, and upper primary – to serve our 6,000 students across the Eastern Province of Zambia. In particular, their radio lessons are captivating, engaging, and perfectly suited for our students. We are excited to work together with them on expanding this program even further!”
