The development objective of Education Quality For Equality Project for Lesotho is to improve basic education service delivery and student retention in targeted schools. This project has three components. 1) The first component, Improving the Teaching and Learning Environment in Targeted Primary and Junior Secondary Schools, will raise the quality of classroom service delivery at both the primary and junior secondary school levels to help create a youth population with strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, and reasoning skills. It has three sub components. (i) Strengthening Primary School Teaching and Learning; (ii) Implementing a New Math and Science Curriculum and Assessment Support in Junior Secondary Schools; and (iii) Demonstrating the Progressive Mathematics Initiative (PMI) and Progressive Science Initiative (PSI) and Development of the New Lesotho model for Teaching Math and Science at Junior Secondary School Level. 2) The second component, Strengthening School Accountability for Student Learning and Retention in Targeted Schools, aims to empower key actors at the school level—school boards—to collectively deliberate on and carry out actions that contribute to retaining students and enabling them to learn. It has three subcomponents: (i) School Improvement Planning (SIP); (ii) Provision of School Grants; and (iii) Strengthening the Capacity for Reporting, Monitoring of Results, and Oversight Mechanisms. 3) The third component, Strengthening Institutional Capacity and Project Management, will focus on strengthening and developing the capacity of the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET), particularly the Department of Planning (DoP), to deliver its agenda, support project implementation activities, and for project management.
