Boost your Corporate Social Responsibility with Mastery Learning
Doing well is what you do as a company. Let the Age of Learning Foundation help you establish a scalable footprint for doing good.
The Challenge
Even before the pandemic, over 250 million children were out of school, and 617 million were in school, but not learning. COVID19 only made things worse. Today, very few countries are on track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4.
The Gap
Many low- and lower-middle-income countries are not on track to meet the requirements of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
National governments require support to generate the institutions, capacity, interventions, and solutions that address systemic problems.
The good news is that companies can make a huge difference in social development.
Companies need to demonstrate good corporate citizenship, but building and managing corporate social responsibility programs that achieve real impact can be challenging.
CSR outcomes should be measurable, but few social interventions produce reliable progress, performance, and outcomes data.
Fortunately, the Age of Learning Foundation can help companies achieve both sustainable and evidence-based social impact at significant scale.
The Opportunity
Every company aspires to be an industry leader – a competitor with solutions, innovations, and systems that stand out from the crowd.
But that means attracting and retaining great people to advance your goals, growth, and success. Wise companies invest in education because they seek to guarantee a sustainable, long-term supply of leaders, employees, partners, vendors, clients, and customers.
By partnering with the Age of Learning Foundation, companies can create unique corporate social responsibility value propositions that accelerate their ability to secure the future by doing well and doing good at the same time.
Let us help you realize your corporate
social responsibility goals
Every company should invest in education. It is the best way to create opportunities, transform economies, and position your business to serve the next generation. Start making a difference you can measure.

Where we Operate
The Age of Learning Foundation works across Africa, Central America, South Asia, and the Middle East.
We are currently present in six countries and are sowing seeds to actively grow our footprint, reach, and impact.
70 percent of children worldwide are facing learning poverty. They are reaching the age of 10 without being able to read simple sentences, complete basic math, establish strong learner identities, or build social relationships.
We can help improve learning for children across the world.
The Zone of Proximal Development
You have heard of athletes getting into the “zone.” Learning is just like that. There is a zone where children can experience “learning flow.” Lev Vygotsky, the Russian child psychologist, called it the Zone of Proximal Development. It is that remarkable space where learning is neither too difficult nor too easy. It is just right to help children build a true love of learning and acquire the tools and skills they need for mastery.
One-to-one mastery learning for all
Benjamin Bloom, the American education psychologist, discovered that children who receive one-to-one mastery learning perform much better than peers in conventional classrooms. Bloom therefore challenged the world to identify methods of group instruction that could be as effective as one-to-one tutoring. The Age of Learning Foundation is answering Bloom’s call in our partner countries.
