The Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project seeks to improve the internal and external efficiency, quality, and equity of all the municipal and government-subsidized private secondary schools, and to strengthen sectoral managerial capacity. The project will improve external efficiency by: 1) establishing a curriculum planning and evaluation unit to reformulate the subject-based curriculum, for both the scientific-humanistic and technical-vocational secondary schools; 2) developing evaluation capacity to monitor the consistency between the recommended and the learned curriculum; 3) establishing alternative curricular activities for socially and educationally at-risk secondary students; 4) providing incentives to strengthen the linkages between targeted technical-vocational schools and the private sector in curriculum development, skill certification, in-service teacher training, and the use of physical facilities. The project will improve quality, equity, and internal efficiency by: 1) providing in-service teacher training to change the predominantly one-dimensional teaching format based mainly on rote learning and dictation, to more interactive methods; 2) establishing a fund to promote the design and implementation of school-based educational development projects; and 3) providing educational resources in a targeted manner. Finally, the project will also include components to strengthen sectoral managerial capacity.
