We are excited to share our latest impact report with you, which includes information about the young people we supported in the 2021/22 academic year; the results of our surveys showing the impact of Jacari tutoring on their language skills, confidence and aspirations; stories about some of our amazing Jacari pupils; how we are funded and our plans for the next year.
The 2021/22 academic year has been challenging for the young people we support as they tried to catch-up with school work and their English language skills after missing months of education, whilst still facing disruption from waves of Covid. As a result, we saw increased demand for extra tutoring from both our primary and secondary school partners.
It was also a year of growth for Jacari, as we expanded our team so that we now have two Coordinators in each city. This allowed us to put on a full programme of kids’ events and trips and it was wonderful to be able to meet our pupils, their families and volunteers in-person and have some fun with them! We also had our first ever summer celebration event, which you can read more about here.
