ACCELERATED LEARNING

---

Education.org has been established to advance the use of research and knowledge in global education. We are in the second year of a ten-year journey to build an Education Knowledge Bridge, starting with a rapid synthesis prototype of crowd-sourced evidence around accelerated education. 

Our focus for this prototype is on Accelerated Education Programmes (AEPs). AEPs are defined as flexible, age-appropriate programmes, run in an accelerated timeframe, which aim to provide access to education for disadvantaged, over-age, out-of-school children and youth. In the wake of COVID-19, we see an explosion of interest in AEPs. The equity concern is significant as marginalised children that were already disadvantaged were left even further behind. This initiative will build on efforts of many, notably the Accelerated Education Working Group (AEWG), comprised of critical actors and hosted by the INEE, with UNHCR as chair.
