announced that it has donated copies of its one-volume children’s encyclopedia to all primary schools in the Republic of Seychelles. </p> <p>The Britannica All New Kids Encyclopedia is a richly illustrated 424-page compendium of knowledge to satisfy curious minds, packed full of reliable facts from the experts at Encyclopaedia Britannica. Unlike old encyclopedias that were structured from A–Z, this one has a narrative arc, telling the story of the world from the beginning of time to the present day and even glimpsing into the future.</p> <p>“Britannica is thrilled to support the students of Seychelles to promote the reading habits of our younger learners and establish the foundation for lifelong learning,” said Theodore Pappas, executive editor of Encyclopaedia Britannica. “Our children’s encyclopedia is a wonderful book for early learners–for sparking their curiosity about the wonders of the world, both big and small–and for readers in areas without easy access to the Internet or to new educational resources.” </p> <p>Britannica, which was known for centuries for its printed encyclopedias, is now a global digital publisher of curriculum and information solutions. It ceased publication of the multi-volume Encyclopaedia Britannica in 2012. Today the company is instituting a new, limited program of print publications in part as a way of helping to bridge the “digital divide” and reach students around the world who don’t have reliable online access.</p> <p><img decoding="async" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20400%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" width="400" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11973" data-lazy-src="https://corporate.britannica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/TAK-1-scaled.jpg" /><noscript><img decoding="async" src="https://corporate.britannica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/TAK-1-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="400" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-11973" /></noscript></p> <p>“This donation will enhance our educational landscape by providing students with materials to foster independent learning,” said John Lesperance, principal secretary for education sector development, with the Seychelles ministry of education. “The encyclopedias will support educators in delivering high-quality instruction across various subjects, while also encouraging learners to cultivate critical thinking and information literacy skills. They will also be accessible in the school library, extending their reach beyond the classroom.”</p> <p>Luke Saunders, Britannica’s senior business development manager, explained that the company is committed to providing learning resources to underserved students and teachers everywhere. </p> <p>“It was a pleasure working with the Seychelles ministry of education to make this happen,” he said. “Partnerships among publishers, curriculum developers and education leaders have great potential for helping schools and students receive the educational resources they need. Britannica is honored to play a role in this effort.” </p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-fef5cef elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget
