CR/BASIC EDUCATION

closed

The project supports the Government's education sector strategy and priority programs, as outlined in the government's National Development Plan, 1990-94, and its General Plan for Education 1990-94. The Project comprises three main components. (1) Improvements of the Quality of Basic Education would include: curriculum revision, the production and distribution of textbooks, in-service training programs for teachers and administrators, and improvements in physical infrastructure and facilities in the disadvantaged rural regions. (2) Strengthening of Sector Planning and Management specifically in the areas of personnel management, financial and budgetary control, and educational planning to meet the Government's decentralization policies. (3) Improvement in the Quality of Secondary Education could be accomplished by initiating an in-depth study of the present status and needs of secondary education, a two-phase pilot program of computer-assisted education, curriculum revision, and teacher/administrator training.
