The pandemic has worsened the learning crisis. School children in almost all learning environments have fallen behind in their learning. Without urgent action, these learners will have fallen so far behind in their learning that they will be left behind. It is not enough simply to reopen schools. We need to double our efforts to tackle the learning crisis head on. We need to focus on our goal to provide equal access to quality education, thus no child will be left behind.

The “No Filipino Child Left Behind Act of 2008”, seeks to liberate and free the country's children from the quagmire of ignorance and lack of education which hold and sink them into poor quality of life and helplessness. Paranaque Elementary School Central designed Project LEADER-G3, a one-month intensive reading to answer the learning loss of Grade Three learners who are slow and non-readers.

It is expected that after one month of intensive reading sessions, these 231 learners will be ready to grasp Grade 3 lessons/skills respectively. These set of learners will be handled by 9-SMARTs (Strong, Motivated, Active Reading Teachers).
