Education Reform Support Today
This paper takes an updated look at the Education Reform Support series and attempts to consolidate many of its theories, frameworks,and operational guidelines. Ten years of experience have reconfirmed the ideas on which ERS was founded and have added a multitude of examples to show how strategically targeted and opportunistic support can move a reform agenda forward.

The paper highlights the need for a sharper focus on foundational skills in light of school closures due to COVID-19 as many primary-school-aged children would have missed critical foundational learning while out of school. This could ensure that short term learning losses do not compound into larger, long term cumulative losses.
