The Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (MoBSE), through its Communications Unit, has wrapped up the pilot phase of the Mainstreaming of Effective Intervention Strategies in Schools (MEISS) program with a two-day community engagement held at Serrekunda Lower Basic School.

The forum brought together parents, teachers, school officials, and community leaders to deepen understanding of MEISS and its role in boosting early literacy and numeracy.

The sessions stressed the importance of community participation in education and reinforced the shared responsibility of improving learning outcomes.

Participants also had the chance to exchange experiences, share best practices, and propose strategies for strengthening MEISS implementation in their respective communities.

By creating such spaces for dialogue and collaboration, MoBSE reaffirmed its commitment to fostering stronger school community partnerships as a foundation for improved teaching and learning across The Gambia.
