Key Information
USAID commissioned this evidence review to aggregate, analyze, critique, and present existing evidence on how to effectively accelerate learning for all learners at the basic and secondary education levels, including the most marginalized. The acceleration of the learning process refers to helping students develop knowledge and skills more quickly, more deeply, and more effectively. Accordingly, this evidence review is guided by the following question:
What teaching and learning strategies help to accelerate learning (to learn faster, deeper, more effectively) in an equitable and inclusive way?
