It generated evidence on children’s social, emotional, cognitive and language skills in the mother tongue, English and Filipino from six stages: at start of kindergarten, at end of kindergarten and at ends of Grades 1, 2,3 and 4, following a cohort of learners.
It measured growth and development at each stage and shed light on how skills develop in different learning context. The research finding underpins the importance of building the right foundations for quality learning.
