SOAR is a unique and integrated approach to accelerated education that is designed to enable out-of-school adolescents, in particularly girls, to acquire academic and life skills. The brief elaborates how SOAR is adaptable across context and geographies, and the impact that SOAR has had in South Asia (India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nepal) and Sub-Saharan Africa (Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Somalia).

SOAR combines a compressed academic curriculum, designed for local relevance and delivery in the students’ language, with the development of leadership skills; adolescent sexual and reproductive health and hygiene content; financial literacy and savings; and computer and digital literacies.
