Foundational literacy and numeracy are crucial to every person’s wellbeing. A nation’s literacy rate is a key predictor of its social and economic progress.

Yet the world still has hundreds of millions of children in school but not learning the basics, and adults deprived of these foundational skills. Why?

Disruptive Literacy tackles these hard questions, showing that, despite the huge setback of COVID-19, the world can attain universal literacy rapidly.

Drawing from remarkable examples of movements around the world, and sprinkled with stories from the authors’ grassroots educational work in the Accelerating Learning for All (ALfA) program, Disruptive Literacy is an easy-to-read but hard-to-ignore manifesto that will touch your heart and inspire you to action.

Every parent wants the best education for their child. But is there more to education than rows of children listening to a teacher and copying into their notebooks?

ALfA: Accelerating Learning for All breaks the shackles of the industrial education system, revolutionizing the school experience through peer learning and hands-on activities. The ALfA program enables children and adults alike to learn foundational literacy and numeracy in months rather than years. Beyond reading, writing and arithmetic, ALfA builds the crucial life skills of collaboration, creativity, citizenship and character. Both a classroom guide for teachers and an implementation roadmap for policymakers, this book explores a transformative approach to teaching and learning. Sprinkled with anecdotes from teachers, principals & students, Accelerating Learning for All inspires and equips us to build a better education system.
