Toward universal learning: A new video on tackling assessment challenges in Africa (Kate Anderson, Tyler Ditmore, Brookings)

In order to meet the ambitious education targets outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 4 and the Education 2030 Framework for Action, countries need to accelerate progress toward improving education quality and learning outcomes. While access to education has improved the world over since the turn of the millennium, many children who are in school are not learning the basics in reading and writing. Furthermore, they often spend little time on other important learning domains associated with vital 21st century skills. Repeating the same education reforms and interventions at the same pace is unlikely to ensure universal learning for all children, youth, and adults by 2030.
