"We like children to learn collaboratively through group work and play but fail to acknowledge that peer collaboration is also important for adults." In this week's Friday Learning Lab, Simon King and Alastair Rodd explore why teacher collaboration is often sidelined in international development and make recommendations for how to increase collaboration.

Years of conflict and natural disasters have left nearly 85 percent of children in Somalia out of school. Over the last four years, the USAID-funded Bar ama Baro project has worked with the Somali Ministry of Education, Culture, and Higher Education and other partners to enroll over 100,000 out-of-school children in accelerated basic education. Bar ama Baro — meaning “teach or learn” in Somali, a nod to a 1970s project by the same name — built foundational reading and math skills in a shorter time frame, enabling students to re-enter the formal school system. The project also trained teachers and supported teaching and learning material development. This team used trucks, planes, boats and donkeys to get the materials to students across Somalia and open the door to a brighter future through the power of education.
