Accelerated Education Programmes: An Evidence Synthesis for Policy Leaders

In using a novel approach to rapidly crowdsource a wide range of published and unpublished evidence related to accelerated education programmes (AEPs), and then synthesising this evidence, our aim is to build on existing critical AEP evidence by offering practical, contextually relevant points of guidance for those shaping policies and guidelines for AEPs.

Complementing the policy brief high-level lessons for senior policy makers, this evidence synthesis serves decision-makers with technical backgrounds, providing more detailed analysis and discussion which will aid in the implementation of policy decisions.

As decision-makers decide whether to embark on AEPs, strengthen existing AEPs, or exercise greater oversight over AEPs, this evidence synthesis offers six major insights to help guide policy actions and guidance as well as implementation.
