Abstract
The purpose of the present report is to
identify and explore the evidence on factors that are
leading to high rates of learning poverty in MENA
countries. In addition, the report proposes a path for
countries of the region to make the teaching and learning of
the Arabic language—which are critical foundations for
children in Arabic-speaking countries—more effective. The
intended audience of the report is education stakeholders in
the MENA region, including officials in ministries of
education across the region, those responsible for education
decision-making, teachers, academics, education
administrators, parents, and nongovernmental organizations,
as well as World Bank and partner organization staff tasked
with supporting countries in their efforts to raise learning
and human capital.
