These studies suggest that Accelerated Education Programs (AEP) improve literacy, numeracy, and examination performance, and can reduce the number of out-of-school children, though the impact on social-emotional learning is less clear.

Accelerated Education Programs (AEPs) are designed to provide out-of-school children with the opportunity to catch up on missed education and reintegrate into formal schooling. These programs are particularly relevant in regions with high numbers of out-of-school children due to conflict, poverty, or other socio-economic challenges. This synthesis examines the impact of AEPs on the literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning outcomes of out-of-school children, drawing on data from multiple research studies.

General Effectiveness of Out-of-School-Time Programs
Accelerated Education Programs (AEPs) have demonstrated significant positive impacts on the literacy and numeracy skills of out-of-school children, making them a cost-effective intervention. However, their effects on social-emotional learning are less clear. While a substantial number of children advance through these programs and show academic improvement, the impact on re-enrollment in traditional schools varies. Overall, AEPs and other out-of-school-time programs are valuable tools in addressing the educational needs of out-of-school children, particularly in conflict-affected and impoverished regions.
