Education Rehabilitation Project

closed

The Education Rehabilitation Project for Macedonia has three objectives: 1) to improve the learning environment in high poverty and predominantly rural areas; 2) to improve the quality of educational inputs; and 3) to strengthen the Education and Physical Culture Ministry's capacity to carry out teacher training, student assessment and curriculum development. The components to achieve these aims include: 1) rehabilitating and furnishing 50-56 dilapidated and dangerous primary schools in poverty areas; 2) facilitating teacher training reform and developing a new system for producing and financing piloted textbooks; 3) piloting a new teacher-in-service training strategy, developing capacity for student assessment covering core primary subjects, and establishing a school mapping database.
