Evidence snapshot for Pretoria
E.A.R.S. is delivered by the University of Pretoria's WHO Collaborating Centre for the Prevention of Deafness and Hearing Loss in partnership with the hearX Foundation. The programme trained over 12,000 South African teachers within its first month of launch, with 97% of those completing pre- and post-training assessments passing, demonstrating significant gains in hearing-health knowledge. The evidence does not quantify Pretoria-specific uptake or outcomes beyond the University's role as the implementing institution.
