Abstract: A major challenge in achieving universal education lies in ensuring that girls who have missed the school bus or simply got off the bus too early, can realise their right to quality, basic education. This paper reviews several key initiatives in the last decade to reach out to out-of-school girls and young women in particularly difficult circumstances through condensed or short-term residential education programmes –– also referred to as ‘accelerated learning’ (AL) programmes.
