Thrilled to share the IDinsight RCT of our Luminos Fund Liberia program, now open access in Education Economics: https://lnkd.in/epc-7fMg. The study showed children in our program learn in just 1 year, 90% of what the average Liberian learns in their entire education! An amazing story of excellence, impact, and equity at scale. Excellence: "Children in the treatment group were able to read 4.5x as many words per minute and complete twice as many addition and subtraction problems at endline compared to children in the control group." Impact: "Treatment effects were between 0.5 SD and 2.1 SD for all reading and numeracy subtasks, and specifically were 1.6 SD for reading simple words and 0.6 SD for addition and subtraction." Equity: "Effects were similar in size for girls vs boys, younger vs older children, children who were previously enrolled in school vs dropouts, and children who started with lower baseline learning levels vs higher baseline learning levels."

In a new article for Education Economics (Taylor & Francis Group), IDinsight and Luminos share evidence from an RCT study of the Luminos program in #Liberia. In just 10 months, previously out-of-school children in the Luminos program achieved dramatic improvements in literacy and numeracy skills.   📈📚Read the full open-access article “Improving learning outcomes for out-of-school children: evidence from a randomized evaluation of an accelerated learning program in Liberia.” > https://lnkd.in/gSsXtcqs #sdg4 #education #educationforall #acceleratedlearning

In #Ethiopia, the government has adopted the Luminos model to reach out-of-school children nationwide. But what happens when structured pedagogy is introduced? A new evaluation shows students in these classrooms read nearly 4x as many words per minute compared to those without it.  📚📈 During the 2023-24 school year, Luminos and the Sidama Regional Education Bureau piloted a structured pedagogy approach to maximize learning outcomes in 40 government adoption classrooms in Sidama, reaching 1,500 out-of-school children. By the end of the program, students could read 32 correct words per minute (CWPM), an improvement of +28 CWPM at the start of the program, and their reading comprehension scores increased by 48 percentage points.
