EGRS: Reading Outside the Classroom

Education Matters in South Africa

Host: Lesang Sebaeng (DBE)

Guests: Kolosa Nonkenge (DBE) and Sibongile Khumalo (Learning Trust)

Through the Early Grade Reading Study, the Department of Basic Education, implemented strategies to improve reading outcomes. The strategies implemented included three treatment arms also known as three interventions.

However, the Early Grade Reading Research Study indicated that parent involvement is complex, and it requires collaborative effort from communities, civil society, and corporate partners.

The Department recently published its second report on early grade reading available on the episode notes available here: https://www.education.gov.za/Portals/0/Documents/Reports/EGRS/EGRS%20Indaba%202022/EGRS%20Technical%20Report_.pdf
