Keep pupils studying in the High Atlas Mountains

After a well-deserved Summer break, our students will soon be preparing for a return to school and their studies. We had a busy end of term and thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to repair wind and flood-damaged classrooms at Asni Collège. The study centre provided a vital space for students during the disruption.

The Joud Association hosted a series of special Summer activities at our study centre including a Summer fun day for children. The centre has a special performance room with stage and audio, providing a modern events space for all of the local community. 

At the Toussna Study Centre, we put our students at the centre of the learning experience. We have created a space where different types of learning can take place so that we are catering for all parts of the student community. The centre provides a comfortable environment to foster both independent study and group work, encouraging students to be responsible for their own study outside of the classroom.

Younger pupils can also practice computer skills in their own time under the supervision of our session leader. The provision of an extensive reference library is an essential resource for assignment research and students benefit from support when they require it from our on-site centre manager.

With your support, we continue to maintain the building to a high standard, providing a dedicated and safe hub with plenty of natural light, up to date technology, reliable Wi-Fi connectivity, quiet spaces and good acoustics – all which help to improve the attainment of learners using the centre. The timetable encourages flexible study so that students can drop in during the school day between lessons or after school.

We want a centre that best meets the needs of students of all ages, a shared space which removes barriers to learning, promotes literacy and digital literacy and gives all learners a welcome reception and a real sense of social connection. As we welcome students back in September, we are committed to preparing them for lifelong learning away from the classroom as well as in school.

We are now fundraising to build an outdoor wellbeing and activity area for the centre in the future. Thank you for your continued support for Toussna!
