Antioquia Upper Secondary Education

closed

The Upper Secondary Education Project of Colombia will support the Department of Antioquia's long-term vision to improve the employability of young people and increase the competitiveness of the labor force by: (i) increasing equitable access and retention in upper-secondary education, (ii) improving equitable educational achievement in upper-secondary education, and (iii) increasing the proportion of public school secondary-education graduates who continue on to tertiary education. There are three components to the project: Component 1 is the Equitable Access to upper-secondary and opportunities for transiting to tertiary education. This component will support an integrated strategy to increase coverage, retention, and completion at the upper secondary level and provide increased opportunities for transition to tertiary education for low-income students, especially from rural areas; Component 2 is Quality and Relevance of Upper-Secondary Education. This component will support integrated strategies to improve the quality and relevance of upper-secondary education; Component 3 is Institutional Strengthening, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Project Management. This component will include support for overall Project coordination, supervision, and evaluation.
