Accelerated Quality Education for Liberian Children | Education Officers Training Cycle 2 2019

The program focuses on enhancing the quality of education in primary schools, with a particular emphasis on reading 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 reading component is designed to improve reading skills among primary school students. The reading materials used in the program are based on a series of reading passages, including the Level 3 Reading Passage, which is a completion test designed to assess students' reading comprehension skills. The passage, titled "Grandma's Magic Place," is a story about a young boy who learns a valuable lesson about honesty after stealing bananas from his grandmother's garden. The story is set in a rural Liberian community and features a cast of characters that are typical of Liberian culture. The narrative is simple and easy to follow, making it accessible to primary school students. The story also includes a moral lesson about the importance of honesty and integrity, which is a key value in Liberian culture. The program's reading component is designed to be implemented in primary schools across Liberia. The reading materials, including the Level 3 Reading Passage, are intended to be used by teachers to support reading instruction and to assess students' reading comprehension skills. The program also includes training and support for teachers to help them implement the reading component effectively. The program's evaluation framework includes a series of assessments to measure students' reading skills and comprehension. The Level 3 Completion Test is one of the assessments used to evaluate students' reading skills. The test is designed to assess students' ability to read and understand a short passage, such as the Level 3 Reading Passage, and to complete a series of comprehension questions based on the passage. The program's implementation is supported by a range of stakeholders, including the MOE, USAID, and local communities. The program's success depends on the effective implementation of the reading component, as well as the support and engagement of teachers, students, and local communities.
