Mid-line Evaluation of Accelerated School Readiness pilot programme
Agency
United Nations Children's Fund

Overview

The main purpose of this evaluation was to test the effects of the ASR programme on children’s school readiness and successful transition to primary school in the Zambézia province of Mozambique.

The objectives for this evaluation were to (a) determine the extent to which provision of the ASR pilot programme improves children’s school readiness, on-time enrolment, and academic achievement in Grade 1, relative to the readiness, on-time enrolment, and academic achievement of comparable children in communities with no pre-primary education; (b) calculate the community- and child-level costs of providing the ASR pilot programme; and (c ) identify which aspects of community context and implementation seem to facilitate or inhibit the success of the ASR pilot programme.

The evaluation is intended to answer the following five research questions linked to the theory of change:
A. To what extent does provision of the ASR programme improve children’s school readiness, relative to that of comparable children in communities with no preprimary education?
B. To what extent does provision of the ASR programme improve children’s on-time enrolment in Grade 1, relative to that of comparable children in communities with no preprimary education?
C. To what extent does provision of the ASR programme improve children’s academic achievement and teachers’ perceptions of their performance at the end of Grade 1, relative to the comparable children’s achievement and teachers’ perceptions in communities with no preprimary education?
D. What are the community- and child-level costs of providing the ASR programme?
E. Which aspects of community context and implementation seemed to facilitate or inhibit the success of the ASR programme?
