Our Impact
Our team has been studying the impact of our joint efforts with Charte.ge since 2018. Initially we did in-depth interviews and surveys to determine the types of changes in the lives of our students.
In October 2019, the team also kicked off a longitudinal study to determine the extent of these changes. This report outlines the results of the longitudinal study based on quantitative data from around 280 students.
Our impact
The initial results of our study show improvements in the average grades of our students in all major school subjects a year after they joined the project. The students also demonstrate more confidence in their academic abilities and an improved ability to learn new topics and skills.
