At present Governments worldwide embark on expensive static surveys that rely on non-uniform testing procedures and evaluation techniques. By static I refer to the gathering of raw data at one point in time from a small sample group and then analysing the results, with several years intervening before a policy of remediation is formulated. By this time the students that have been surveyed have passed through the system or it’s not possible to intervene because of the sheer mass of numbers.

What this project entails is a dynamic approach to data collection at the entry point into the education system, as well as in the homes. Screening, diagnosis and remediation occurring universally and monitored progressively, so that policies and strategies can be implemented on the fly.

The screening process shall include the systematic elimination of such variables as vision defects (short sighted, colour blindness, Irlen syndrome, left to right or right to left perception, and general optometrical vision perception and cognition strategies) audiology disorders and aspects of human speech perception.
