MEET OUR AUTHORS

We are proud to have collaborated with more than 106 authors with the common goal of developing and publishing inclusive and diverse portfolio of Foundation Phase products.

In addition to these authors, we engaged with several subject matter experts, language experts across 7 different languages, curriculum analysts, proof readers, reviewers, fact and Maths checkers.

Our Foundation Phase portfolio of products were tested on research groups and adjusted accordingly based on realtime feedback from Foundation Phase learners.
