Evaluering
Evaluation Report of the Speed School in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger
The Strømme Foundation created a Speed School program to respond to the high percentage of out-of-school children in the West Africa region. The educational program was developed by education curriculum experts and aims to provide out-of-school children aged 8-12 with an accelerated nine-month curriculum, and to ultimately transfer them into the primary school system. The purpose of the evaluation was to rigorously test the impact of Speed School and determine its effects on students’ educational achievement, parental perceptions of school, and continuation with schooling. The evaluation also measured the cost effectiveness of the intervention.
