ZOCS implemented 12 IFERB projects selected according to the ages of the children targeted in two rural districts. The projects were printed and delivered to the targeted children through their schools. Each of the target schools was also supplied with a radio containing IFERB content. Consequently, the children interacted with the IFERB content in print form and through the radio. A total of 2,000 learners were targeted in 30 schools. The choice of the projects was guided by the nature of the skills and competencies needed by the children for their lifelong learning and success in their educational journey. These skills and competencies, including numeracy, literacy, communication, critical thinking, exploration, creativity, and independent learning, would enable the targeted children to engage in independent and cooperative learning and stretch their inquisitiveness around their environments and contexts. Another factor that was considered in the selection of the projects was their relevance to the Zambian Primary School Curriculum guided by the Ministry of Education.
