FLN Hub Learning session on 2024 Spotlight Report

The 2024 Spotlight report Learning Counts responds to the AU’s request for evidence on effective strategies for foundational numeracy skills. It is the second in the Spotlight Born to Learn Series, the first of which was launched in October 2022. The 2024 Spotlight edition examines how countries align their national vision with curriculum development, textbook provision, teacher support, and assessment practices to advance foundational numeracy. The 2024 focus countries are Niger, Mauritania, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia. 

 Designed to be a springboard for critical reflection and peer learning for partners working to improve foundational literacy and numeracy across the continent the session will bring together curriculum and assessment experts, teachers and representatives from organizations whose expertise informed the report to share insights and perspectives to advance the report’s recommendations with policy makers and practitioners.
