Advancing Arabic Language Teaching and Learning: A Path to Reducing Learning Poverty in MENA

More than half of children in the Middle East and North African (MENA) countries are in learning poverty — they cannot read and understand an age-appropriate text by age 10.

A myriad of factors influences this outcome, but many factors can be addressed through changes in education policy and programing related to the teaching and learning of Arabic.
