- For NRC Accelerated Education is an umbrella term that encompasses a variety of models, roughly divided into: Catch-up programmes refer to short to (in some cases medium term) transitional education activities that focus on the resumption of formal education for children and youth who missed out or had their education interrupted. Catch-up programmes ensure that key learning components are acquired to support re-entry to the formal system. Accelerated Learning Models programmes refer to longer-term educational programmes that enable learners to complete a full course of basic education within the programme, often in an accelerated fashion. Regardless of their duration and scope, the underpinning principle of AEPs is “Accelerated learning”: The pedagogical approach based on principles and practices of teaching and learning that result in better, deeper learning and more rapid acquisition of education content It is not just faster learning, but deeper and more proficient learning This type of enhanced learning is challenging to get in Norway, the USA or in my home country of Italy, let alone in crisis-affected contexts with scare resources I cannot not emphasized enough importance of the right “preconditions” for this deeper learning to take place (e.g. psychosocial/trauma, nutrition/health, teaching, education material, classrooms size, parent’s engagement etc.).
