The proposed project will support the Government educational strategy which consists first, in addressing the critical shortages of qualified manpower representing a serious obstacle to the implementation of socio-economic development programs. In addition, it supports redressing quality and equity shortcomings of the education system; and improving the management and administration of the system. Consistent with the PDRE strategy, the proposed project will improve middle and higher level manpower training in agriculture, forestry, engineering, accounting and teacher training; and improve the quality of general education through provision of improved instructional practices and educational materials to secondary schools. Finally, it will improve equity by providing basic education facilities to particularly needy locations; and strengthen planning and managerial capabilities of the system.
