Learning Support Project

Overview

The Learning Support Project (LSP) is a core project under the Education & Skill Development Project of Future Bridge Tech Foundation (FBTF).
This project provides academic assistance, mentorship, and essential learning materials to students especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds  who face learning challenges or lack adequate educational support.

Through after-school tutoring, mentorship and donation of learning materials such as exercise books, pens, mathematical sets and school uniforms, the LSP bridges learning gaps, improves academic outcomes and motivates students to stay in school.

By combining digital tools, community-based teaching and material support, the project ensures that every learner has both the knowledge and resources needed to thrive academically.

Objectives

·        To provide academic and material support to students in underserved communities.

·        To enhance literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills through regular tutoring.

·        To promote equal access to learning resources for all learners.

·        To empower volunteer educators and mentors to contribute to education equity.

·        To reduce school absenteeism and dropout rates through continuous motivation.

·        To strengthen the community’s role in supporting education and inclusion.

Structure / Components

The Learning Support Project consists of the following key components:

·        After-School Tutoring Hubs – Volunteer tutors provide lessons in Mathematics, English, Science, and ICT.

·        Learning Materials Donation – FBTF donates essential supplies such as exercise books, pens and pencils, mathematical sets, school uniforms, backpacks and reading aids. These donations remove financial barriers and improve attendance and learning participation.

·        Digital Learning Access – Learners are introduced to educational apps and online resources.

·        Mentorship and Guidance Sessions – Volunteer mentors engage learners on career paths, self-confidence, and discipline.

·        Parent and School Collaboration – Parents and teachers help monitor learner performance and attendance.

·        Monitoring and Evaluation – Volunteers track academic progress and material impact on learners’ performance.

Management by Volunteers

The project is managed by a team of dedicated volunteers drawn from teaching backgrounds, tertiary institutions, and local communities.
Volunteers coordinate classroom sessions, distribute donated materials and conduct home follow-ups when needed.

Each hub has a Volunteer Lead responsible for project logistics, learner attendance and liaising with schools and community leaders.
FBTF provides orientation, resources, and oversight to ensure accountability and consistency in all activities.
