Webinar: Targeting foundational skills to improve learning at scale in Zambia
Partners:
Join us for a webinar presenting rigorous evidence on the impact of Zambia's "Catch Up" program, a government-led adaptation of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach delivered at national scale by government teachers.
Researcher Andreas de Barros (University of California, Irvine) will share findings from a cluster-randomized trial and an event study covering 4.4 million exam scores. The presentation will also explore questions of measurement and cost-effectiveness. A moderated panel discussion featuring representatives from the Center for Global Development, Gates Foundation, TaRL Africa, VVOB, and the Zambia Ministry of Education will follow, reflecting on the realities of implementing at scale, lessons learned, and future directions.
