Our Work
Worldwide Educational Resources provides three things
- A curriculum for our partners wishing to establish a school where there is no or inadequate access to education.
- Training in the use of Living Books Curriculum
- A school library of high-quality used and new books.
We do not financially support schools or pay teaching salaries. We will, however, help our partners to find ways to fund their schools.
Our Partners
Worldwide Educational Resources is currently serving schools in India, Niger and Nigeria.
Nigeria—four schools using our curriculum.
- Generation of Hope School. Sherrie and Albert Oneugbo established Generation of Hope School in 2004, and have graduated two kindergarten classes. They currently have added Grade One and Two.
- Christlight School. Founded by Azuka Gbogboade, this is a 240-student school which provides K-12 education for impoverished students. These students consistently score very high in the Nigerian state exam. Azuka Gbogboade has been trained by WER and has begun Alope Meta and Abule Resafe schools.
- A Great Joy Nursery & Primary School. Located in Alope Meta, a remote village in which the nearest school is a two-hour walk for the children. Begun in summer 2006, the school supports a teacher and 20 students.
- Christ's Glory Nursery & Primary School is in Abule Resafe, a remote village which, until now, had no access to education. Begun in summer 2006, along with Alope Meta, it is still seeking funds to support a teacher and buy desks.
India—three schools in Andhra Pradesh state are using the Living Books Curriculum. LBC is used to supplement their current curriculum, as the state requires a program of study be accredited (see future goals). These schools are overseen by COTR College of Ministries in Visakhapatnam
Niger—Pastor Jones Hussein Chuks oversees the use of our curriculum in his schools in Niamey, the capital city. He founded two orphanages a few years ago to provide a home and love for those children abandoned in the streets. Niger is one of the most impoverished and illiterate countries in Africa.
Our future goals
- To develop five EIB training centers in the next ten years.
Think of this: If each of those training centers trains and equips five teachers a year (a very modest goal) and those teachers in turn found a school, that’s 25 schools a year.
In ten years the number of schools would be 250. Each of those schools will have about 100 students in all. In ten years, 250 schools with 100 students would be 25,000 students educated to the glory of God and a gift to their families and country.
- To develop a complete training DVD that can be used in the training centers.
- To develop a publishing arm of Education in a Box in each country we serve that would be associated with the training center and provide the majority of books used in our curriculum.
