Improving Learning in Primary Schools (LIL)

closed

The Improving Learning in Primary Schools Project aims to further develop and assess the merits of bilingual education in Mali, in terms of its financial and educational sustainability in order to support the Government's objective of improving the performance of the Malian educational system, especially its quality, equity, and access to learning. There are four main project components. The first implements bilingual education in primary education by financing textbook and learning material production and distribution; training teachers, school directors, inspectors, and pedagogic advisors; and evaluating student learning and teacher quality. The second component finances training for school management committees, adult literacy, and community awareness as well as school improvement projects. The third component procures consultants, develops workshops, and decentralizes financial and management procedures. The fourth component strengthens implementation capacity by financing technical assistance, training , logistics, and equipment costs for project coordination.
