Abstract
The program focuses on enhancing the quality of education in primary schools, with a particular emphasis on reading and mathematics skills. The program is implemented by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The program's approach to improving reading skills is centered on the Accelerated Reading (AR) program, which is a comprehensive reading program designed to improve reading proficiency among students. The AR program is based on a phonics-based approach, which emphasizes the relationship between sounds and letters. The program also includes a range of instructional materials and resources, including textbooks, workbooks, and teacher guides. The program's implementation is focused on a number of key areas, including teacher training, instructional materials, and assessment. Teacher training is a critical component of the program, as it aims to equip teachers with the skills and knowledge they need to deliver high-quality reading instruction. The program also provides teachers with access to a range of instructional materials, including textbooks, workbooks, and teacher guides. Assessment is another critical component of the program, as it provides a way to measure the effectiveness of the program and identify areas for improvement. The program uses a range of assessment tools, including reading comprehension tests and phonics assessments, to evaluate student progress and identify areas where students may need additional support. The program's impact is being evaluated through a range of monitoring and evaluation activities, including regular assessments of student progress and teacher feedback. The program's evaluation is focused on assessing the effectiveness of the program in improving reading skills among students, as well as identifying areas for improvement and scaling up the program to reach more students. The program's geographic focus is on Liberia, with a particular emphasis on primary schools in rural areas. The program's implementation is being carried out in collaboration with the MOE and other local stakeholders, including teachers, parents, and community leaders. The program's timeframes are focused on the 2019-2021 period, with a particular emphasis on the 2019-2020 school year. Overall, the Accelerated Quality Education for Liberian Children program is a comprehensive initiative aimed at improving education outcomes in Liberia. The program's focus on reading skills, teacher training, and assessment is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in school and beyond.
