OxEd & Assessment partners with Ministry of Education and Science in Paraguay
OxEd & Assessment partners with Ministry of Education and Science in Paraguay to build strong oral language skills in their schools country-wide with the NELI Programme.
We’re pleased to announce a new partnership with the Ministry of Education and Sciences of Paraguay (MEC) to deliver the NELI Programme to schools country-wide. The partnership will upskill teachers across Paraguay in the importance of oral language through high-quality professional development and provide them with the tools and activities to build strong oral language skills in their classrooms. The MEC selected OxEd & Assessment for this partnership due to the strong evidence base behind the NELI Programme and our experience adapting the programme to different cultural contexts.
As part of this partnership, all elements of the NELI Programme (or Programa NELI) will be provided to educators in Paraguayan Spanish. Furthermore, recognising the importance of accurately identifying language delays in a bilingual country, LanguageScreen will be adapted to both Paraguayan Spanish and Guarani. These programme adaptations will be completed in collaboration with Paraguayan artists and other local talent.
OxEd will also be recruiting a local team to support schools in every department of Paraguay with in-person professional development and support with implementing the programme.
