A TALE OF LEARNING PROLOGUE: Policy and Practice
KEY QUESTIONS ? • Can ‘illiterate’ mothers of children in poor countries taught to be literate and numerate through simple, community-based literacy classes? • Can teaching ‘illiterate’ mothers how to read and interpret numbers result in improved learning outcomes for children? • Can teaching ‘illiterate’ mothers how to engage and support their children’s education lead to improved learning outcomes for children? • If each intervention (above) alone is insufficient to impact child outcomes, can a combination of the two work?
THE PROJECT • The first randomized evaluation of an adult literacy and Parenting intervention in a developing country.
