Background

Right To Play is a global leader in delivering play-based programs that promote children and young people’s learning and well-being. Established in 2000, Right To Play reaches children through experiential programming in 14 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. These programs are supported by our headquarters in Toronto, Canada; London, UK; and seven national offices across Europe and North America.

We put children and young people at the center: We strive for inclusive and meaningful participation of children and young people in all their diversity. We engage children through participatory approaches that amplify their voices and experiences.
We have a 24-year track record: Since 2000, we’ve been using playful approaches to improve learning outcomes for children and young people. In that time, we’ve fostered strong partnerships and established credibility with the communities we serve across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Canada.

We know that playing is learning: Play is a universal language. Children across cultures make sense of the world by playing. We have experience offering adaptable play-based approaches that have a proven impact on children’s holistic development.
Our mission is to protect, educate, and empower children to rise above adversity using the power of play by delivering programmes and projects focused in four core areas: Early Childhood Care and Education, Primary Education, Psychosocial Support, and Gender Equality and Girls’ Wellbeing.

Project Overview

The EQIE project is a five-year quality education initiative to be implemented by Right To Play and partners in Tanzania from 2025 to 2029. Working with Ministries of Education and PO-RLAG and other education stakeholders, the project aims to use the power of play and creative pedagogies to:

• Improve learning outcomes (in reading and socioemotional skills) among lower primary grade 1-4 school children
• Increase enrolment and retention of out-of-school children with disabilities (CwDs)
• The implementation strategy of the project is to work with school-level actors and education managers at the district level to improve the adoption of play-based pedagogy for enhanced quality of literacy instruction and positive learner-centred experience at school; and to support schools’ learning environment to enrol and retain children with disabilities.
• Both strategies would engage children (girls, boys, CwDs), teachers, school leaders, school inclusion committees, district and sub-national level education officials, teacher trainers/coaches/mentors, and national level agencies under the Ministry of Education.
