All Children Reading–Philippines (ACR-Philippines), 2019 National Early Grade Reading Assessment

The 2019 National Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) was conducted in grade 3 in English and Filipino and is a follow-up to the National EGRA conducted in 2013.

The Philippines Department of Education implemented the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education Program (MTB-MLE) in the 2012-2013 school year. Mother tongue is the native language or first language a child learns to speak. This National EGRA 2019 data collection was conducted to compare reading performance in English and Filipino in grade 3 against the baseline conducted in 2013 to measure the impact of the national MTB-MLE program.
