The Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach targets the root of the learning crisis by transforming the structures that lead to it. The approach was developed and pioneered by Pratham in the early 2000s, to respond to the failures of the education system.

At the classroom level, TaRL is a teaching approach that assesses children using a simple testing tool and then groups them according to their learning level rather than their age or grade. For a period of the day, children in middle-upper primary focus on foundational skills using an accelerated learning methodology. They are then regularly assessed rather than relying only on end-of-year examinations.
