Seychelles - Education III Project

The third education project in Seychelles aims to achieve an integrated and inclusive education system, providing universal access, building new infrastructure and pursuing the process of reconstruction and redefinition of the education and training system to coincide with the policy drive towards “Education for a Learning Society”. It comprises five components and complements the first two projects by expanding facilities while at the same time paying greater attention to quality and relevance of educational content. The project includes the extension of two primary schools, construction of four new primary schools, three of which will have associated crèches; and the construction of one crèche. Under the project, one secondary school will be constructed; eight will be renovated and extended, furniture will be provided to nine schools, and ten schools will receive textbooks and equipment. In addition, a special school for children with disabilities will be constructed and equipped. The project also will support curriculum development, management and training activities. The capacity of the Project Implementation Unit will be also strengthened.
