This document summarizes the Basic Literacy Program (BLP) which teaches basic literacy skills to out-of-school youth and adults. It teaches three skills: reading comprehension, basic math, and problem solving. Learners include non-literate individuals, dropouts, and those who don't want formal schooling. The program recruits learners and tests their skills for placement. It uses facilitator-led instruction initially, then transitions learners to self-learning using modules, study groups and home visits. Upon completion, learners can enroll in further education or job programs. The teaching methods include face-to-face, modular, and self-paced learning in local languages depending on the program.
