This collaboration comes as a response to UNICEF's findings that 70% of 10-year-olds worldwide struggle to read and understand basic sentences, a figure that has worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The partnership aims to create safe and inclusive learning environments for children and adolescents, ensuring equal learning opportunities and employability.
