Accelerated Education Programming: Experiences from Uganda
9:00 am - 10:00 am Tuesday, Jun 11 2019 (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)
INEE is excited to host an interactive webinar with Save the Children and the Accelerated Education Working Group titled "Accelerated Education Programming: Experiences from Uganda." This webinar draws upon learning from Save the Children’s extensive consultations with Accelerated Education Program (AEP) students, their parents, teacher and headteachers, and other stakeholders to understand their experiences and views of AEP, in order to increase understanding of the factors that support or hinder transition between AEP cycles and post-AEP opportunities.
The webinar will run for one hour, and include the following topics:
- An introduction to Accelerated Education;
- Global challenges facing AEPs;
- Background to the study in Uganda;
- Key challenges identified in the study, including eligibility, the role of the teacher, and language issues.
There will be time for Q&A and open discussion.
