Khulisa is delighted to announce that the South African Department of Basic Education (DBE) will launch reading benchmarks for the Sesotho-Setswana language family, Afrikaans, and English First Additional Language (EFAL) at a virtual event on November 9, 2022.
These reading benchmarks are a direct result of the work Khulisa and its partners did under Task Order 4 of the Practical Education Research for Optimal Reading and Management: Analyze, Collaborate, Evaluate (PERFORMANCE) contract for the U.S. Agency for International Development. Learn more about reading benchmarks and their importance in this 2020 Khulisa blog post.
