PRIMARY EDUC UPGRADI

closed

In support of the Government's efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of basic education, the overall objective of the Primary Education Upgrading Project is to provide the policy and institutional framework, together with the necessary educational inputs for establishing nationally an integrated six-year basic education system, as well as improving education sector management. These inputs will be complemented by construction of additional classrooms required for the countrywide implementation of the new six-year system, under a forthcoming AFDB-assisted project. Specifically, the project involves: (1) restructuring the basic education system; (2) upgrading the quality of primary school teachers; and (3) increasing the availability of textbooks, teaching materials and school supplies. Further to this, the project entails (4) improving education sector management.
