• If applicable, collaboratively (with KICD), identify gaps in existing materials and recommend other sources of materials that build or augment existing materials
• Develop appropriate upper primary Math and English teacher guides for accelerated acquisition of competencies by out of school learners. The guides should be gender friendly and based on KICD approved curriculum and informed by global best practices. Learners are expected to be in catch up centers for a period of 6 and 12 months.
• Develop competency-based learning assessment rubrics for literacy and numeracy for the relevant levels for use at catch-up entry level, to assess progress in the catch-up and at catch-up exit to formal schooling.
