In just one year, students grow by 1.5 years in their English skill, which is a 150 % growth.

- ELGA integrates values and general awareness in its content, so that students not only build their English skills, but also become more aware and humane.
- The programme ensures that there are various avenues through which students get to practise English daily and become a independent readers, writers and speakers of English.
