Education IV - Support to Community Day Secondary Schools

The Support to Community Day Secondary Schools (Education IV Project) responds to Malawi’s need to improve the quality and equity of education. It should contribute to the Government’s effort to improve secondary education at Community Day Secondary Schools. To address the inadequate provision of educational services in the country, the government of Malawi, together with its development partners, formulated a policy investment framework, which outlines the policies and strategies for the development of the education sector. The project should support these policies and strategies by contributing to the improvement of the quality of secondary education provided at the community day secondary schools. It should provide resources for infrastructure development, instructional materials provision, teacher education development and capacity building for school management, complementing assistance provided by other development partners to the sector. The project, which should be implemented over a period of four and half years, consists of the following components: (i) infrastructure development, (ii) education materials provision, (iii) teacher education development, and (iv) capacity building for school management.
