The Human Capital Development Incubator worked on inexpensive methods to improve reading and math skills in early grades. This data will be used to assess the impact of pilot interventions on education quality in the 2019/2020 school year. The Incubator focused on developing local solutions to address the challenges in primary school education, particularly in early grade reading and math. In Sierra Leone, the majority of students struggle with these basic skills.
