Learning English Through English Diary Project

Teaching English is both rewarding and challenging. Many students feel shy, anxious, or afraid of making mistakes when using English, which often limits their confidence to express themselves.

Turning Maths Classes into Playtime!

At EBPP, learning math has become a lot more fun for primary school children with a simple and creative game called Pass the Pigs .

When both pigs land the same way, the score doubles, something that always brings laughter and excitement to the class. This activi
