Closing Learning Gaps in Paraguay
The Escuela Viva II Program in Paraguay focused on reducing ongoing gaps in access, retention, and completion of quality basic education in the country, targeting the most vulnerable segments of the population. This was part of a broader program of IDB support to the country’s educational reform and was of critical importance to Paraguay in order to address disparities in both the completion rates of basic education and in learning outcomes.
