Outcome 2: Foundational learning

Making sure children in school are learning. Structured Pedagogy, Teaching at the Right Level and Accelerated Learning Programmes that build reading and numeracy.

Why it matters

Many children in South Sudan attend school but leave without being able to read or count. Outcome 2 focuses on what happens inside the classroom, using approaches that meet children at the level they have actually reached.

What we do

Structured Pedagogy

Clear, sequenced lessons and teaching materials that help teachers deliver literacy and numeracy consistently.

Teaching at the Right Level

Grouping learners by their current level rather than their grade, with regular reassessment as they progress.

Accelerated Learning Programmes

Condensed pathways for over-age and out-of-school learners to catch up and re-enter the system.

Teacher development

Continuous professional development for teachers, tutors and inspectors, aligned with MoGEI standards.

How we track progress

  • Foundational literacy and numeracy levels
  • Learning gains over time for the same learners
  • Coverage of each teaching approach by school and county
  • Teacher participation in training and coaching
