Lessons for teachers from a remedial education programme in Chad - World Education Blog
To reduce grade repetition and dropout, many African countries are providing some type of remedial education, either in-school or through community-based activities. In Chad, three out of every five children starting primary school are expected to drop out before the end. Out of the 40% of students who reached the last grade of primary education, one in two had repeated at least one school year. A 2014 decree banned student retention in early primary grades. Instead, students at the end of grade 2 and grade 4 with scores regularly below average would be provided remedial lessons. These lessons would be provided for 40 hours per year and subject (mathematics and language) to help students progress to the next cycle.
