TaRL in Nigeria

TaRL Africa’s team in Nigeria supports Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) programming across seven states - Borno, Kano, Kebbi, Adamawa, Yobe, Bauchi, and Kaduna. While there are variations in the design of the programs across the different states, in all states, primary four to primary six children are assessed and grouped by learning level rather than age or grade. TaRL programmes focus on foundational literacy (Kanuri in Borno and English) and Maths for one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half hours a day. TaRL Africa provides technical support to the state governments and, in some states, through UNICEF or the British Council.
