Priorities

Improving literacy and maths skills

Good literacy and arithmetic skills are important for daily living. The most effective teaching approaches have not been clearly identified to inform classroom practice. We will investigate teaching programs and strategies that can be practically implemented using existing resources and demonstrate their efficacy in improving literacy and maths outcomes. We will develop clear guidance and training packages to meet the needs of teachers in many countries.
