Summary Findings: Improving children’s reading and math at large scale in Côte d’Ivoire: The story of scaling PEC

This report focuses on one of the Real-time Scaling Labs (RTSLs) in Côte d’Ivoire—launched in 2019 in collaboration with Transforming Education in Cocoa Communities (TRECC) and the Ministry of National Education and Literacy (MENA). RTSLs generate evidence and provide practical recommendations around the process of scaling in global education—encouraging a stronger link between research and practice. The report centers around the government-led process of implementing, adapting, and scaling the Programme d’Enseignement Ciblé (PEC), a remedial education approach to improving early grade reading and math adapted from Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL).
