Usawa Agenda is a not-for-profit organization registered in Kenya with a mission to promote systems change for education and justice for all through research, innovation, and evidence-based stakeholder engagement.
The organization conducted a household-based assessment of literacy and numeracy skills among children aged 6-15 years with the findings set to be released to the public this coming Thursday.
Usawa examined the influence of key factors such as educational policies, school, and home factors on learning outcomes within the basic education sector.
In 2023, Usawa Agenda conducted a foundational literacy and numeracy assessment that involved visiting over 39,000 households where we assessed over 44000 children and 1973 primary schools spread across all 47 counties in Kenya.
“Standardized tests and participatory methodologies were used to gather information from pupils, teachers, and parents. We have finalized the analysis of the data and will be releasing the findings to stakeholders at KICD on February 29, 2024,” said Usawa in a statement.
