 Evidence impact
3ie-supported evaluation informs USAID education projects in South Africa
 The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is using the findings of a 3ie-funded evaluation to support follow-up evaluations to improve reading skills in South Africa. 3ie funded the evaluation of an early grade reading study (EGRS), which compared the effectiveness of three approaches to improve Setswana-language reading outcomes of grade one and two students in two districts of North West Province.
After consultations with the evaluators, USAID funded EGRS II, to evaluate alternative ways to impart teacher coaching for effective teaching of English as First Additional Language in Mpumalanga Province. USAID also reconfigured its Reading Support Project to extend EGRS implementation and evaluation to grade three.
