Early Grade Reading Assessment in Madagascar

In French and Malagasy languages, J&A conducted an Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) for a regionally representative sample of students in Grades 2 and 5 in public and private elementary schools, utilizing low cost approaches for EGRA administration and innovative tablet technology.  The purpose was to assess the reading skills of the 2014 cohort students who were completing Grades 2 and 5 in the public primary education system, disaggregated by region, to serve as a baseline for future similar assessments.
