Programme ACCES

The ACCES Program (Citizen and Community Actions for the Evaluation of School Learning) aims to assess the quality of learning for children aged 6 to 14 in Côte d'Ivoire. The assessment will focus on measuring the children's knowledge from the median level corresponding to the knowledge acquired at the end of the third year of learning. The ACCES Program focuses its assessment at the household level and covers all children from 6 to 14 years old (in school, out of school and out of school). The ACCES Program also distinguishes official evaluations by the simplicity of the tools, the rapid availability of the results and their large-scale dissemination.
