Twaweza is a member of The Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Program, a multi-country research project, that seeks to answer the question, What works to improve education systems to deliver learning at scale in developing countries?

In East Africa, Uwezo assessment tests over the past five years show that only a small proportion of children attending schools are able to meaningfully master the basic learning milestones in literacy and numeracy. Twaweza is working to find out whether the curriculum is partly responsible for the current learning crisis.
