Teaching at the Right Level Namibia

TEACHING AT THE RIGHT LEVEL CHALLENGE; NAMIBIA

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

Teaching at the Right Level Namibia rapidly increases literacy and numeracy skills for primary school children by increasing access to the “Teaching at the Right Level” education program.

The TaRL Namibia model focuses on partnering with local and national government, the top public university and passionate young people across the country who are passionate about quality education. The program engages unemployed youth and students at teacher training institutions to serve as volunteer TaRL facilitators in public schools. With this unique mix of stakeholders, TaRL Namibia aims to integrate into existing government and school programs. TaRL Namibia is a high leverage way to build the systems and capacity for ending illiteracy and innumeracy in primary schools nationally.

TaRL Namibia is a non-profit program founded by one American named Angelica Towne, and three Namibians named Ricella Mburuu, Atjihe Kambindu and Star Katjariwa.
