Strengthening Early Grade Reading for Improved Learning Outcomes

Building on previous phases, World Education's project (2022-2024) aims to improve early grade reading in Bajhang, Bajura, and Darchula by doing the following:

• Improve children's reading and comprehension skills through provision of grade appropriate reading materials
• Build teacher capacity to teach reading and properly assess student progress
• Increase parent and community engagement to promote a culture of reading, improve school attendance, and increase school accountability

World Education is providing technical support in partnership with local NGOs to implement programming in 949 schools. Since 2015, World Education has been partnering with WFP to implement the EGR component of the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
