Excited to see J-PAL and Pratham partnering to bring Pratham's pioneering and impactful efforts in education to the rest of the world.

Teaching children based on their current needs and level just makes sense.
Age should not be the determining factor in what kind of education a person gets.

Supports governments to improve foundational reading and math for all children using the Teaching at the Right Level approach

TaRL Africa’s mission is to support every child across Africa to build foundational skills for a better future.

[TaRL Africa uses an evidence-backed educational approach](https://www.povertyactionlab.org/case-study/teaching-right-level-improve-learning) that helps children develop basic reading and mathematics skills, opening doors to a brighter future. The approach targets the root of the learning crisis by transforming the structures that lead to it. It was developed and refined in India by education NGO [Pratham](https://www.pratham.org/), and has been rigorously evaluated by [Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL)](https://www.povertyactionlab.org/) affiliated professors. Since 2015, the TaRL approach has been adapted in over 17 African countries reaching nearly 7 million children with support from TaRL Africa and its partners.

TaRL Africa began as a joint initiative by Pratham and J-PAL in 2015 and became a registered independent organisation in 2019. Since its inception, TaRL Africa has worked with governments and organisations to design and develop the processes, practices, and resources required to deliver effective TaRL programmes that increase learning outcomes. Globally, the TaRL approach [has been identified by the Global Evidence Education Advisory Panel as a “good buy.”](https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/719211603835247448/pdf/Cost-Effective-Approaches-to-Improve-Global-Learning-What-Does-Recent-Evidence-Tell-Us-Are-Smart-Buys-for-Improving-Learning-in-Low-and-Middle-Income-Countries.pdf)

As of 2025:

- TaRL programming reached over 7 million children in over 17 countries with TaRL Africa's support.
- Across all programmes, the proportion of children who could read a simple paragraph improved by 12–32 percentage points, and the proportion of children who could do a simple subtraction problem increased by 13–26 percentage points.

TaRL Africa is registered and headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, with teams in Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, and Zambia.
