The Learning Passport: Research and Recommendations Report. Making Progress Possible: Improving the Quality of Education for Vulnerable Children Everywhere
Cambridge Assessment
The Learning Passport is a collaboration between UNICEF, the University of Cambridge and Microsoft which aims to tackle an intractable problem: the quality of education in contexts where learners have been displaced. The Learning Passport is a response to the international crisis in education quality and learning outcomes. The project's specific aim is to improve the quality of education for children who, for whatever reason, are unable to access national education systems satisfactorily, either temporarily or permanently. The goal is to make possible stable and effective learning pathways for these children despite the instabilities they experience; this includes helping them to enter or return smoothly into national systems. The project's hypothesis is that quality can be improved by making available, as a global public good, an "education model" for basic education for children whose education has been disrupted. This education model is the Learning Passport. The purpose of this Report, with reference to the proposed education model, is first to anchor the project in the available evidence for quality education, as well as the evidence for quality in Education in Emergencies (EiE). Second, it is to make recommendations for how the Learning Passport should be taken forward or rethought, based on the evidence where possible.
