USAID/Madagascar Education and Food Security Portfolio Overview USDA McGovern-Dole Applicants
May 3, 2021
1. Q: Will USAID focus education programming on Grades 1-3, or will there be a broader focus?
A: Based on the CDCS for Madagascar, the priority will be a focus on improving early grade reading.
2. Q: What are current policies and practices for language of instruction in Madagascar?
A: Malagasy is the language of instruction in the early years, with a transition to French. In Grade 1-3 students learn in Malagasy. In Grade 1, French is introduced and students receive oral exposure to the language. In Grades 2 and 3, French is introduced as a subject with more formal reading and writing instruction.
An important note, there are many dialects to Malagasy. In classrooms, particularly in areas where the dialects are significantly different, teachers will use the local dialect as a bridge to Malagasy. Teachers may use the local dialect to help students understand vocabulary or concepts, switching between both dialects during a lesson.
3. Q: Can USAID provide a list of the districts and communes where Maharo and Fiovana are currently working?
