Title
Accelerated Learning Programs for Out-of-School Girls: The Impact on Student Achievement and Traditional School Enrollment
Abstract
Within the context of post-conflict DRC, we examined the impact of the Accelerated Learning Program for out-of-school girls' on student learning outcomes and traditional school enrollment. We found that the vast majority of girls advanced through the levels as expected (80%) and, on average, improved their numeracy and literacy skills. The impact on traditional school enrollment was less definitive with the percent of girls who previously attended school, as well as the age of, remaining stable over time, but there was also an increasing trend in the percent of girls who were enrolled in school until the end of the last school year.
