If ever there was a time we were called to “Make a Difference”, it was the year 2020.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic turned life upside down. Online learning became the main way many children accessed education, and Pennacool expanded beyond SEA content so standards 1, 2, and 3 could also reach free online learning.

Through Republic Bank’s Power to Learn programme, Pennacool was able to offer curriculum-aligned Maths and Language Arts exercises for lower primary students. The shared goal was clear: fun online learning, broader access, and meaningful support for children across the country.

Republic Bank’s commitment to expanding human potential and Pennacool’s digital learning experience combine here as the Primary 123 Challenge.
