Rethinking How to Boost Learning in Africa with Kwame Akyeampong and Rachel Glennerster

CGD's David Evans and Rachel Glennerster speak with Kwame Akyeampong, professor at the Open University, about his book Reconceptualising the Learning Crisis in Africa. Together they discuss where the book and the evidence consensus agree and diverge: the framing of the learning crisis, measuring student outcomes, the language of instruction, the potential of accelerated learning programs, the role of teachers, and more.
