China built education through systems, teachers, and long-term investment.

India scaled access fast, but faces fragmentation and uneven quality as private participation rises.

The takeaway: strong public systems matter.

Digital isn’t the future of learning, it’s reshaping it now. This #InternationalDayOfDigitalLearning, we celebrate tech that breaks barriers, personalises journeys, and expands access. Real impact comes when it empowers teachers and puts learners first. #VMFT

Our speakers, Dr. Arun Ravi and Vaisakhan Thampi are gearing up to take us through the fascinating world of AI!

‘Although ed-tech companies tout huge learning gains, independent research has made clear that technology rarely boosts learning in schools—and often impairs it.

A 2024 meta-analysis of 119 studies of early-literacy tech interventions, led by Rebecca Silverman of Stanford University, found the studies described programmes that delivered at best only marginal gains on standardised tests. The majority had little effect, no effect or harmful ones. Jared Horvath, a neuroscientist and author of a book called “The Digital Delusion”, has reviewed meta-analyses covering tens of thousands of studies. His verdict: “In nearly every context, ed tech doesn’t come close to the minimum threshold for meaningful learning impact.”’

Conversations, ideas, confidence. We often see these across VMFT’s work with young people, in classrooms, workshops, fellowships, and community spaces.

On #NationalYouthDay (India), we’re sharing a few of those moments.

The #GEEAP report how to improve reading has important insights. But there are important gaps. For instance, the experiences of Kerala and China, two places that universalised education, are missing. Read my comments here https://t.co/58RP5bZkfa. #bilingual #Kerala #education

[Vakkom Moulavi Foundation Trust @vakkommoulavi]

Our #BilingualReadingProgram is rooted in a belief that reading is liberation.

In a state known for education, too many children still cannot read with understanding.

Literacy must go beyond decoding, it must enable questioning, thought and participation. #Education

[Vakkom Moulavi Foundation Trust @vakkommoulavi]

Following the recent International Day of the Girl Child, we reflect on insights from our *Connecting Learners with Communities* program.

When students found mothers often more educated yet less employed, it sparked vital questions about equity and opportunity. #GirlsEducation

[Vakkom Moulavi Foundation Trust @vakkommoulavi]

Vakkom Moulavi’s vision + Ramakrishna Pillai’s courage = #Svadesabhimani. Suppressed & exiled in 1910, but their partnership birthed a fearless press & a new public sphere in #Kerala. 115 years on, we remember. #Journalism

[Vakkom Moulavi Foundation Trust @vakkommoulavi]

Prof. Rama Mathew, ELT consultant with global experience, leads teacher training & research in our #BilingualReadingProgram.

Her focus: boosting literacy, building teacher capacity & shaping equitable practices for young readers.

[Vakkom Moulavi Foundation Trust @vakkommoulavi]

On #InternationalDayOfScienceTechnologyInnovation, we at #VMFT reaffirm our belief: tech must serve people, not privilege.

From digital literacy in coastal villages to climate solutions, we champion #TechForGood that builds bridges, dignity & inclusion.

On June 28, we hosted Dr. Mohan Gopal’s lecture on “Cultures & Communities of Kerala”. Reflections by Lukman K M and Naznin Shahulhameed stressed that equality must be lived daily and rooted in fraternity.
