NEXT Foundation

The NEXT supported education initiative Summer Learning Journey is helping achieve better literacy results of students who participate in the programme over the school holidays. 

As this University of Auckland Annual Donors Report report says those students who join the programme are helping to stave off the “summer slump” - and achieve significantly higher writing and reading scores. 

The initiative was developed by Dr Rachel Williams of the Woolf Fisher Research Centre along with teachers from Manaiakalani schools.
