The goal of
the overall USAID/SA education program is to improve reading skills of
primary grade learners. This goal will be supporter through this
reading support project by increasing the capacity of curriculum
advisors and heads of department, and of school principals along with
their deputies, to support language and literacy teachers.
The project
will also provide teachers with a comprehensive package of learning and
teaching support materials (LTSM) as a tool to deliver the language
curriculum in a way that improves learner literacy outcomes.
Teachers’
use of the LTSM package will be supported by curriculum advisors and
principals rather than by trainers, coaches or mentors from outside the
official education system. The effectiveness of this model will be
rigorously evaluated by an independent contractor in line with the USAID
Evaluation Policy.
