Ready Right Now-Science

EDC’s Ready Right Now Science (RRN-S) program supports high-quality, hands-on science education in low-resource settings. It encourages learners to ask questions, investigate their environments, test ideas, and apply knowledge to real-life challenges. This fact sheet describes how RRN-S advances science, literacy, and numeracy proficiency in pre-primary, early grades, and programs for youth and out-of-school learners. It also details how RRN-S serves as a natural precursor to EDC’s Work Ready Now and Our World, Our Work initiatives focused on secondary and vocational STEM education for youth.
