Learning outcomes and teacher effectiveness for children facing multiple disadvantages, including those with disabilities: India and Pakistan

The project aims to identify strategies to raise learning outcomes for all children, regardless of background. In low-income countries, disadvantaged learners often face poor-quality teaching. The study will identify the most important aspects for improving learning in order to inform government strategies. The team will assess children in the household and also at school to ensure depth of data. The study will help to make sure that teachers are able to support all children to fulfil their potential.
