Improving reading and arithmetic outcomes at scale: Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL), Pratham’s approach to teaching and learning

Abstract

In India, depsite a gross enrolment rate of more than 95%, performance levels remain low, particularly for children of illiterate or undereducated families. To contend with this, the “Teaching at the Right Level » project was implemented. This has taken many forms: the “camps for learning”, either repeated short term sessions (6 to 10 days), or long term sessions (30 to 50 days); and partnership arrangements with public school system authorities. The project’s methodology, attained objectives and its prospects are presented.
