What is driving low foundational learning outcomes in India, and what steps can be taken to improve them? @CSF_India's new report investigates.
You can read our report ‘Systemic Drivers of Foundational Learning Outcomes’ here:

With the disruption of the pandemic, an FLN focus is more important than ever. #NIPUNBharat, India's FLN mission, aims to get all Class 3 children reading and performing basic math – assessing learning and supporting catch-up will be crucial
#NIPUNBharat underlines the government’s commitment to equip children with foundational #literacy & #numeracy (FLN) skills. As schools reopen, we must prioritise FLN, assess children's FLN levels & accordingly remediate learning. I write in @httweets hindustantimes.com/opinion/a…
My IJED essay received a wealth of rich and interesting feedback, which @CGDev has compiled in this symposium. In my postscript I try to dispel some misunderstandings and respond to a few key challenges: cgdev.org/reader/pathway-pro…
Thoughtful but refreshingly direct, @GirinB calls out the collective failure to address poor learning outcomes in his recent essay on #SDG4.
In a roundtable w/ @CGDev @riseprogramme, sector leaders shared their reactions. Read the symposium of responses: cgdev.org/blog/symposium-gir….
The Lost Potential Tracker highlights the shocking number of 10-year-olds who have not learned to read since the SDGs were adopted. We urgently need to focus on foundational skills and support the implementation of proven strategies to improve them scienceofteaching.s3.eu-west…
Today @ONECampaign @GPforEducation @save_children launch the #LostPotentialTracker, an interactive tool that counts in real-time the increasing number of 10-year-olds who cannot read and understand a simple story since 2015 📈 #GAWE2021 #LearningForAll go.one.org/3sUYuR8
I spoke to Will about my IJED article: Please listen in, if you can get past my accent, staccato delivery and breathing pauses that is!

The pathway to progress on SDG 4 requires the global education architecture to focus on foundational learning and to hold ourselves accountable for achieving it - the core argument of my essay in the International Journal of Educational Development.

A quixotic cri-du-coeur. I don't have it right, so would love to know your better ideas!

The EGER girls’ education roadmap is an important resource for funders and researchers keen to focus on effective interventions for improving girls’ education – including a welcome emphasis on learning outcomes and literacy. teapawt.net/Pop_Council/status/136…
If you missed the launch of #EGER's 2021 Girls' Education Roadmap last week, you can watch a recording of the event now, feat. @spsaki & Nicole Haberland @Pop_Council, Erin Ganju @EchidnaGiving, @Manisha_econ @GlobalLabUCLA @JPAL, & Justine Sass @UNESCO: youtube.com/watch?v=tua9V1uu…
Folks. I stepped down a few weeks ago. The job -- frankly the best in the world -- is open. Apply! (Not in a position to answer queries individually)

To improve learning outcomes, we need to build a shared understanding of what quality instruction looks like and outline the necessary steps to get there. The Science of Teaching program sets out to do just that - find out more here:
Excited to blog with Dr @benlpiper on the importance of effective instruction to improve learning and the role of Science of Teaching in this | SharEd shared.rti.org/content/focus…

The @UNESCOstat database shows that 26% of African countries have reported data on reading proficiency in early grades since 2014, corresponding to 28% of the population.

India is finally taking FLN seriously. All of us can come together — curricular experts, NGOs, governments at the national and state level, investors — to solve India’s learning crisis: @AshishDhawanCSF to @VidyaRShah at #EDGE2020
The SEA-PLM 2019 results drive home how critical the need is to focus on foundational learning. acer.org/au/discover/article…

A National Mission on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy is soon to be launched as per the recommendation of #NEP 2020. It aims to ensure that children can read with meaning and do basic math in Grade 3 by 2025. This will lead to improved learning and life outcomes

The full impact of the crisis on education will take years to understand, but learning losses and funding cuts seem inevitable. A renewed focus on learning, and supporting children to catch up, are urgently needed. Article freely accessible.
With Covid-19 imposing an even heavier burden on schools, there have been huge setbacks in global learning. Click on our collection of stories about the topic, including an opinion piece by the president of the World Bank Group on.ft.com/2K9H8PS

Good-quality #data on learning outcomes is lacking. In Africa, since 2014, only 14 of 54 countries have reported data on reading proficiency in early grades #AllmeansALL ➡️ Bit.ly/2020gemreport
“I know we will all learn a great deal as the World Bank reconvenes this group to track their progress and learn from one another over the next few years.”
Tracking collective progress will be uncomfortable but crucial: we need to make sense of the data to improve learning.

An important step to make any sense of #LearningOutcomes around the world.
