How can you make a difference?

The objective is to support the Ministry of Education to strengthen remedial learning in Zambia by reviewing existing remedial learning practice and developing national remedial learning guidelines and national assessment tools for remedial learning.



National remedial guidelines and assessment tools will have clear and structured guidance on how remedial learning should be conducted and assessed in Zambia. They will give clear guidelines on what remedial learning is; who is to conduct it; when they are to conduct it; how they are to conduct it and how they are to assess learner’s progress. The guidelines will also clearly outline how remedial learning will be supported at the various levels.
