The objective of this consultancy is to assess the contribution of the MEMF in improving girls’ and boys’ life skills and learning outcomes in Burundi and Tanzania. In Burundi only, the evaluation will use a quasi-experimental difference in difference methodology to assess the attribution of the project in improving girls’ and boys’ life skills. This approach will include selected control schools identified at baseline in Burundi. Quantitative and qualitative data should be collected to respond to this question. The evaluation will take into account the initial Baseline Assessment undertaken in 2020, outcome monitoring findings led in 2023 and the recent research on girls’ clubs led in June 2024.
The International Review of Education is dedicated to policy-relevant and theoretically-informed research in lifelong and life-wide learning in international and comparative contexts.

In a blog on the World Bank site, J Saavedra et al. argue that using Artificial Intelligence (AI) could address the learning crisis.
“Inequality in education is rampant; middle-income countries are five years behind the OECD average and seven years behind Singapore on PISA scores. The concept of Learning Poverty highlights stark inequalities between countries: 90% of 10-year-olds in Sub-Saharan Africa cannot read and understand a simple text, a figure that is 56% (pre-pandemic) in Latin America and less than 3% in the Nordic countries.”
However, they warn, “Technology cannot replace trained teachers nor match the impact of a good teacher with AI-amplified skills.”
Globally, 44 million additional teachers are needed to ensure universal primary and secondary education by 2030. The Teacher Task Force’s #TeachersMissing advocacy campaign for 2024 is sounding the alarm on the urgency of addressing the global teacher shortage. Through this campaign, the Teacher Task Force will harness the collective momentum to address the critical issue of teacher shortages.
