Education underpins the making of an intellectual society, one better equipped to navigate change and sustain prosperity.
Yet access alone is not enough; it is the quality and continuity of learning that determine whether that potential is truly realised.
Over 98,000 lives reached
through school leadership, learning recovery, and mental health initiatives.
Hasanah’s work focuses on people closest to this process, strengthening school leadership and deepening teachers’ pedagogical capabilities while extending literacy and learning recovery programmes to students whose education has been disrupted.
At the same time, we also recognise that students do not learn in isolation from their lived experiences. Their emotional, social, and psychological realities shape their ability to engage, absorb, and grow. Therefore, Hasanah’s emphasis on mental health within the school system is fundamental to creating the conditions in which learning can meaningfully take root.

From Falling Behind to Moving Forward — At Scale
Program Anak Kita (PAK) is a targeted nationwide effort to support students at risk of falling behind; helping them catch up, stay in school, and move forward with confidence.
More than half (57%) students
in remedial classes have caught up and returned to mainstream learning
30,623 out of 53,252 students
have successfully exited remedial classes, strengthened their reading, writing, and numeracy skills and rejoining their peers
This progress reflects a shift towards early identification and consistent, school-based support for students at risk of falling behind. Students who require further support continue to receive targeted interventions to strengthen their learning.
