Abstract

Research about the causes of poor reading comprehension, as verified by UNESCO, is essential. The slow progress of the Education for All Program (EFA) suggests studying the determinants of acceptable quality. The experience of developed countries invites the finding of trustable modalities for innovation with success in education. These three subjects imply experimenting systematically with better training programs for teachers and evaluating their impact on student learning. The article discusses recent reviews of pertinent studies, the elements to research, and the precautions to take in consideration with each of them.
