TaRL Delivery Model

In Botswana, Youth Impact and the Ministry of Basic Education are implementing TaRL programming.

The model includes:

• a six week intervention for one hour per day for students in grades 3-5.
• Youth Impact runs a direct delivery model: with teacher coaching and independently hired and trained facilitators.
• The government runs the National Service Program (NSP) and deploys 15,000 young people in schools and clinics throughout the country and these participants are incorporated into the initiative.
• The two models are synergistic, with the direct model serving as an innovation hub, and the government model as a route to a sustainable scale. The end vision is to stimulate demand at the grassroots level for TaRL principles to be incorporated into day-to-day teaching pedagogy by demonstrating meaningful progress at the standard 3-5 level.
