About this talk
During this presentation Professor Ricardo Sabates Aysa will focus on research to deepen our understanding of the community and school linkages which could facilitate learning. The presentation is based on an ESRC funded project to evaluate an intervention in rural India that seeks to raise children’s learning outcomes by facilitating local, community-led action, notably by strengthening school actors’ engagement with, and thus accountability to, local communities. The intervention centres around efforts to create a common understanding across different stakeholders with regard to the problem of poor foundational literacy and numeracy skills among school-going children. In each intervention site, it targets stakeholders such as teachers and head teachers, parents (especially mothers), as well as volunteers from the wider community; and envisages ways in which these actors can engage with each other and with children in support of better outcomes. The presentation will include the results from an RCT which took place between 2018 and 2022.
