Challenge

While Mexico has made significant progress in improving access to education and seen moderate progress in the mathematics PISA scores, the results are still disappointing. Ranked last among OECD countries and 48th among all 57 participating countries in maths. In today's knowledge-based societies, understanding mathematical concepts is more critical than ever. Poor skills in maths are likely to represent a serious disadvantage and constitute a major economic cost in terms of lost of productivity

Solution

Expedicion RIA is our most successful program giving youth the opportunity to enroll in a comprehensive learning route offering a variety of courses, including math and reading comprehension. Expedicion RIA seeks to improve the academic performance of primary and secondary school students and provide them with math courses that will help build intellectual abilities in critical-thinking and problem-solving.

Long-Term Impact

Evaluations conducted by one of Mexico's leading think tanks determined that a group of 4th grade students enrolled in Expedicion RIA improved their national score examinations by 8% in math compared to the group that was not. The Expedicion RIA evaluations show that our courses do generate a positive educational impact. In only 4 years more than 250,000 users have registered and more than 104,000 students have graduated from our programs. More than 3,400 youth have graduated from Expedicion RIA
