The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in close collaboration with the Afghanistan Ministry of Education (MoE) announced the official launch of Afghan Children Read (ACR), a five-year project in Early Grade Reading (EGR) for primary grades 1 to 3.
'Despite the gains made in education in Afghanistan, access to quality education remains a challenge. To help reverse the situation, USAID is investing 70 million in the ACR Project. This project will help to improve early grade reading skills for primary level students, boys and girls, in grades 1-3 in formal and community based education (CBE) schools. The ACR project will enable the MoE to utilize the best practices of EGR standards towards improving the primary level student's literacy and learning skills at large,' the USAID said in a statement.
The February 28 launch ceremony was attended by Her Excellency Rula Ghani, First Lady of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the U.S. Embassy Special Charg d'Affaires Ambassador Hugo Llorens, the Honorable Rahil Mohammad Formuly, Deputy Minister of Education, the USAID Mission Director to Afghanistan, Mr. Herbert Smith, Ministry officials, representatives of UN agencies, heads of national and international educational organizations, civil society and other stakeholders from the Education sector.
