EDUCATION I

closed

The proposed education system will consist of a five-year primary course and a three-year guidance cycle to be followed by a four-year diversified program. It will provide guidance by specially trained counsellors regarding careers and further education. In the last four years of secondary education, the new system will introduce a multilateral school with stress on practical and employment-oriented courses. The proposed project would finance modest numbers of each type of new school and four teacher training colleges and four faculties of education associated with their development. The project will also include the financing of the construction and expansion of six vocational and eight secondary agricultural schools. The project will provide technical assistance to help the government in formulating a long-term educational plan and in improving the efficiency of the educational institutions.
