WHAT ARE THE TOOLS?

The Early Learning Measurement (ELOM) tools accurately measure a range of developmental outcomesThese include for example the child’s ability to understand basic maths concepts, to use language and to solve age appropriate problems in young children, and provide an indication of the quality of the early learning environment in home and programme settings. Locally developed in South Africa, the tools are user-friendly, fair and affordable. They have been tested with thousands of children and are psychometrically valid and standardised The tools take into account diverse socio-economic backgrounds and are available in all 11 official South African languages.

There are currently six tools in the ELOM suite.
