1 Motivating the students of the 6th grade for the GLO exams; a motivation session was held in partnership with the teachers, for all the students of the 6th grade. During this motivation session different subjects were emphasized e.g.: leadership, being focus, personal goals.
2 Tutoring the children in different subject in preparation for the GLO exams; The YELF provided a contracted trainer to conduct daily tutoring for students for the more difficult subjects (Dutch and Math). Dutch and Math were also emphasized during these sessions.

4 An assessment of the education problems in Pamakka: The assessments of the different education problems has provided the YELF with a good baseline information for the Education in Pamakka.
A pilot project that was implemented in 2017 contributed to a 33% completion rate for the 6th grade (Grangmang foster school).The completion rate for the OS Loka Loka School was 45% after the intervention of YELF. More importantly according to MINOWC statistics, 55% of the students in Suriname graduated for the MULO, without having to retake their exams[1][2].The results in Pamakka should be viewed in this context.
