The Language, Literacy and Learning Initiative (L3) is a 5-year program financed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by the Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), with technical assistance from Volunteer Services Overseas (VSO), Concern Worldwide (CW)
and International Educational Exchange (IEE). The implementation dates are August 2011 – August 2016. The L3 initiative’s goal is to strengthen teaching and learning so that children leave primary school with solid literacy/numeracy skills.
The initiative has five principal objectives:
• • Improve the quality of reading, mathematics and English teaching in P1 to P4.
• • Improve the availability of teaching and learning materials.
• • Support the teaching of English and the transition to English as the language of instruction in P4.
• • Strengthen Ministry capacity to lead the literacy reform effort.
• • Improve equity in education by ensuring that all students, and especially girls and students in remote, rural areas, receive increased access to quality literacy and numeracy instruction.
In this regard, EDC will develop complete package of instructional materials including supplementary books and leveled, decodable texts for students to enrich learning. As such, EDC will help to build the capacity of public institutions to develop and print materials in order to foster of a culture of reading in Rwanda.
The consultant will assess the viability of the existing Rwanda Education Board printing press:
• Review current printing capacities and quality to assess the existing REB printing facility
• Determine the volume and types of print materials planned for REB, particularly L3 supplementary readers
Review the upgrading of existing Rwandan print facilities and prepare final recommendations regarding the upgrading needs
