This mixed-methods study investigates the process of scaling TaRL programme in two districts of Sindh by examining the factors that enable or constrain this process. It aims to assess the opportunities to scaling and identify champions who can propel the scaling efforts forward so that the final outcomes are beneficial for students’ learning within Pakistan. Therefore, this study’s findings will be valuable for policy uptake in Pakistan given the suggested alignment of the programme with current government priorities and policies. By interrogating both the technical and political economy dimensions of scale, the study contributes critical evidence on what it takes for pedagogical innovations to move beyond pilot to scale in Pakistan.
