| Abstract: |
Ensuring foundational learning for all children is critical. Despite the essential role of foundational learning, too many children are not acquiring these basic skills. Recognizing the urgent need to prioritize foundational learning, a global coalition on foundational learning has been established to support national efforts on improving foundational learning. The Commitment to Action on Foundational Learning calls for the implementation of evidence-based policies encapsulated by the five key actions under the RAPID Framework, namely: (1) Reach every child and keep them in school; (2) Assess learning levels regularly; (3) Prioritize teaching the fundamentals; (4) Increase the efficiency of instruction; and (5) Develop psychosocial health and well-being. The Foundational Learning Action Tracker (FLAT) monitors progress on low- and middle-income countries' RAPID efforts on foundational learning. The FLAT collects data on policy actions and systems strengthening efforts to support foundational learning, organized around the RAPID Framework. This report presents the FLAT 2024 results for low- and middle-income countries, organized around the RAPID Framework and with a focus on key education themes for the year.
