EDUCATION I

closed

The First Education Project will primarily consist of the construction and equipment of 19 common basic schools, 20 secondary schools, 8 higher teacher training and education research institutions and equipment for the National Research Center for Educational Development. The First Education Project will also include the provision of 190 man/months of specialists for technical assistance in such fields as curriculum development, facility planning and education management. The project schools will add altogether a capacity of about 31,000 students. They will be located so as to dovetail basic schools, secondary schools and education research institutions together and, therefore, more efficiently serve their purpose as experimental and demonstration schools. They will be located throughout the country to give pilot demonstrations of the reform principles, with heavier concentration in Galicia in order to provide a case study in regional implementation.
