Accelerated Quality Education for Liberian Children

The USAID Accelerated Quality Education for Liberian Children activity focuses on improving education for out-of-school learners and builds the capacity of the Liberian government to offer high-quality accelerated learning programming. The program condenses six years of primary education into three years, allowing learners to reenter formal schooling in a shorter amount of time and giving them a boost to pursue further education, training, or employment. EDC staff working on the Accelerated Quality Education for Liberian Children activity conduct the following activities: Provide relevant, flexible, and quality education for out-of-school children; Provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Education (MoE) and build partnerships with counterparts and host country systems; Strengthen the policies, systems, and resources with the MoE; Foster positive gender norms, including a highlighted attention on girls and female teachers; Conduct operational research to look more closely at key issues and rolling assessments for ongoing risk mitigation.
