Even prior to COVID-19, the crisis was severe. In 2018, 82 per cent of sixth-graders struggled with reading and 77 per cent with basic math.1 By late 2021, ‘learning poverty’—the inability to read a simple text by age 10—spiked by 15 percentage points for higherincome students and a staggering 25 points for those from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.2  \nTo address Mexico’s deepening education crisis, UNICEF partnered with local educational authorities and Medición Independiente de Aprendizajes (MIA) to launch the Learning Camps Initiative in August 2021. Designed to improve foundational literacy and numeracy skills for students in Grades 3 to 6, the programme adopted the evidence-based Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach, which groups students based on competency rather than age or grade, allowing for more targeted instruction.  \nThe pilot phase (2021-2022) launched in Guerrero and Chiapas, covering 48 schools and reaching 6,957 children. Over 360 teachers and 1,719 parents participated in workshops on the TaRL methodology to support learning at home.  \nBy 2022, the programme gained national recognition and was integrated into Mexico’s educational strategy on continuous learning pathways. Its digital teacher training course on Mexico X, the Government of Mexico’s online learning platform, attracted over 34,000 teachers to voluntarily enrol, further expanding its reach.  \nTHE LEARNING CAMPS APPROACH  \nUNICEF’s Learning Camps are implemented in government schools with state-level Ministry of Education (MoE) partnerships and follow a structured four-step approach: teachers assess students’ learning levels, group them by  \n1 National Institute for Educational Evaluation.

Additionally, its integration into education information management systems enabled teachers to systematically track student progress by recording pre-and post-assessment results alongside grades and attendance, ensuring data-driven decision-making.  \nRESULTS  \nThe Learning Camps delivered significant results during both the pilot and scale-up phases. During the 2021-2022 pilot, students achieved measurable progress within just three months, with reading proficiency improving by 12 per cent—equivalent to one year of learning recovery—and math proficiency increasing by 13 per cent, or two years of progress.3 These results underscored the programme’s effectiveness, particularly in regions most affected by educational disruptions.  \nThe 2023-2024 scale-up phase continued to deliver impactful results, with reading proficiency rising by 8  \nper cent—equivalent to one year of recovery—and math proficiency improving by 11 per cent, nearly two years of progress. This phase highlighted the programme’s ability to drive meaningful improvements at a larger scale, reinforcing its role in bridging critical learning gaps across Mexico.  \nLESSONS LEARNED  \nTailored instruction makes a difference: Grouping students by learning level rather than age enabled teachers to deliver focus","cbCailyFK0rHUPID","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailyFK0rHUPID","pdf",433455,"English","# Mexico learning crisis and rationale\n# Learning Camps initiative design and rollout\n## Four-step Learning Camps approach\n# Results from pilot and scale-up\n# Lessons learned\n# Next steps and cost effectiveness","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the Mexico Learning Camps initiative address?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses learning recovery needs driven by long-standing inequities, including widespread struggles in reading and basic math and the rise in “learning poverty.”\"},{\"question\":\"How does Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) shape the Learning Camps approach?\",\"answer\":\"Students are grouped by competency rather than age or grade, teachers deliver 20 targeted sessions equally focused on literacy and numeracy, and progress is measured through final assessment to identify remaining gaps.\"},{\"question\":\"What results did the program achieve during the pilot and scale-up phases?\",\"answer\":\"In the 2021–2022 pilot, reading improved by 12% and math by 13% within three months.
