The objectives of the Education Quality Improvement Project for finance are improve: (i) the quality of non-formal initial, basic (grades 1-9) and secondary (10-12) education programs; (ii) the coverage and internal efficiency of initial and basic education; and (iii) the strategic planning and institutional performance of the Ministry of Education at the central, regional and local levels. Improving equity is considered a universal/cross-cutting principle and therefore embedded in each component of the project. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is to improve learning processes at non-formal pre-school programs, as well as in primary and secondary levels. This component aims to advance the education quality in the system through supply-side interventions on pedagogical methods, curricular relevancy, promotion of Information Technology (IT) literacy skills, and improved technical capacity to measure student learning outcomes. The second component of the project is to increase coverage and retention of the school population in initial and basic educational programs. This component seeks to expand coverage of non-formal initial education programs, while increasing the internal efficiency in the system from pre-school to basic education (grades 1-9). The third and final component of the project is to enhance institutional capacity and performance of the Ministry of Education. This component aims to support strategic investments to the Ministry of Education (Ministerio de Educacion) (MEDUCA's) to build institutional and technical capacity to improve the administrative, management, monitoring and evaluation performance of the education system.
