EDUCATION III

closed

The project is designed to achieve the following objectives: (i) to relieve the shortage of skilled middle-level manpower by establishing four vocational training institutes, (ii) to improve the quality of and increase the access to primary education by establishing four primary teacher training centers, (iii) to implement a pilot community development project, and (iv) to prepare a follow-up project and to strengthen the Government education planning capacity. The community development project's being experimental is probably the most risky component; the project is, however, limited to two townships in this phase and would be closely monitored.
