Can't Wait To Learn or CWTL allows children to learn by playing educational games on tablet computers. These custom games includes instructions, practice and learning management system. This will ensure quality education to all childrens and youth no matter where they are.
All learning materials are based on official national curricula. The games are presented to children in a matter fitting their lifestyles and circumstances. A number of partners including local Ministries of Education, software designers, game technicians are all working together to create this fun and effective tool for learning.
CWTL offers a simple and understandable custom-built game for each country and co-created by discussing with local children, game designers and local Ministry of Education. The children's life stories, their feedback and drawings all play a role in designing the program.
Additionally, all instructions are in audio and video, therefore children who have yet learned to read or write can listen and understand the instruction videos effectively as most videos are presented by children, who can be role models.
Can't Wait To Learn has started in Sudan since 2012 with mathematics presented in Arabic being the first subject. The program is constantly expanding due to the educational needs at Jordan and Lebanon. Currently, CWTL is developing games in English for South Sudanese refugees in Uganda. CWTL will start in Uganda with mathematics in English and will expand into reading in English in the second half of 2018.
