The Remote Assessment of Learning (ReAL) Project – January 2023 Newsletter

With an increase in the number of children out of school since Covid-19 and a likely further increase in displacement due to climate and conflict related disasters, how can we ensure that children can continue to learn and be assessed in these situations? An assessment tool that can reach children when schools are closed, or who live in hard-to-reach locations, or who are on the move would take us one step closer to supporting all children, no matter what the world throws at them. The Remote Assessment of Learning (ReAL) toolkit attempts to fill this gap by allowing enumerators to remotely assess the learning outcomes of children, ages 5–14. It is for use where assessors cannot assess children’s learning in person and is administered by either a smart or regular mobile phone.
