Title
Accelerated Learning to Reach Children Furthest Behind
Abstract
Accelerated learning programs (ALP) around the world are helping disadvantaged, over-age, out-of-school children and youth catch up to their more advantaged peers. The Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach applies principles of formative assessments and level-wise grouping and learning to ensure children lagging in the foundational literacy and numeracy competencies catch up within a relatively short period, usually 30-50 days. This article discusses the implementation of ALP in Kenya: the adaptations made, the evolution of the approach over time, and the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns.
