The project's components are three: 1) The Basic Unattended Educational Needs component, which provides resources (educational materials, teacher training, civil works, classroom furniture and equipment) for public school grades K-9, and performs urgent infrastructure rehabilitation (building new classrooms); 2) Institutional Strengthening, which provides resources (technical assistance, training, and systems development) to strengthen the Municipal Secretariat of Education to fully assume decentralized management; and 3) The Twelve School Networks Component, with each network comprising about 15 public schools and created on the basis of geographic contiguity and socioeconomic homogeneity criteria, which will development and implement education development projects. These sub-projects will be demand-driven and will receive promotional and technical assistance to develop school and community capacity to prepare and assess them.
