Specifically, the five-year activity is working to improve learning outcomes by focusing on increasing Kinyarwanda literacy skills of boys and girls through primary 3 (P3) through four intermediate results: (IR1) Pre-primary education system enhanced to develop, promote and improve emergent literacy, (IR2) Lower primary reading classroom instruction improved, (IR3) School environments improved for increased lower primary reading outcomes, and (IR4) Education management systems strengthened for improved literacy outcomes.
Position Description

These decisions will aim to improve reading instruction and literacy learning outcomes for all students, with a particular focus on implementing changes and providing targeted support at the district, sector, and school levels.
