On 24th January 2022, PlayMatters will join the world in commemorating the international day of education. We will highlight how learning through play can be a centerpiece of children's holistic learning and well-being through an opinion article to be published here. We will celebrate the role that teachers, parents, community leaders and government actors specifically in Ministries of Education have played in shaping our project to what is it is today, and how we continue working together to find the most effective solutions to scale up learning through play interventions in schools, homes and communities in the course of the project and beyond.
