TEACHING AT THE RIGHT LEVEL CHALLENGE; RWANDA
PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is an education program that tailors instruction to the learning level of the child, rather than their age. The result is that basic literacy and numeracy are achieved by students before they finish primary school.

DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Soma Organization meets struggling pupils at the level they are to help them get where they need to be.
The initiative will pilot the TaRL Model in Rwanda. The model will be centered on the pupils’ learning levels, and on the pupils, to encourage participation and responsiveness. Rather than a rigid linear curriculum, the content will be based on a pupil’s assessed learning level, and the delivery will be made fun and full of engaging activities. This will build confidence, ensure all-rounded growth and focus on foundational skills.
Soma Organization was founded by Kennedy Okello in 2021. The mission and vision of the intervention attracted like-minded individuals; Aline, Mike and Irene, forming a diverse and skilled team.
