For International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, the organisation World Child Cancer wrote about the importance of education for children with cancer:
“Beyond medical care, learning provides children with a sense of normalcy, hope, and purpose during their treatment journey.”
The blog focusses on Hospital-Based Learning, specifically the Hospital-Based Schools in Malawi. These schools are a lifeline for young cancer patients, ensuring they stay on track academically even while undergoing treatment. The teachers employ a learner-centered approach, creating an engaging and inclusive learning environment where children can thrive despite their illness. Their passion for education extends beyond textbooks; they instill a love of learning that gives these children hope and a sense of belonging.
