📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
GEIP will build on MOEYS’ extensive achievements in implementing a series of GPE and World Bank projects in the primary and secondary sub-sectors. It will continue to support a subset of the general education reform programs stated in ESP 2019-23, focusing on improving quality and equity from pre-primary to upper secondary levels.
The project’s key activities will include implementing a school-based management program, providing capacity development to teachers, school leaders, teacher trainers, and educational staff, and improving learning environments. The project calls for construction and rehabilitation of school buildings, science laboratories, teacher training institutions, dormitories for teachers, and special education schools; purchase of education technology equipment; and support for students with disabilities, including disability screening. The project will also include a pilot education technology (EdTech) program for mathematics.
One of the goals of the project is to improve the education sector’s overall performance by building national capacity for education reform programs, revising subsector strategies, piloting continuous professional development, and creating a teaching career pathway. The project will also aim to facilitate the development of the 2024–2028 Education Strategic Plan and hold annual “Best Practice Forums.”
It will combine financing from the International Development Association (IDA) and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE). The IDA financing will support the activities in secondary education sub-sector and the GPE financing will support activities in pre-primary and primary education. The project is comprised of three components. Component 1: Improving Student Learning OutcomesThis component aims to improve equity and student learning outcomes in target schools across general education by (1) supporting the implementation of School-Based Management (SBM); (2) providing capacity development to teachers and school leaders; and (3) improving learning environments. Target schools will be spread across disadvantaged districts with high numbers out-of-school children and poverty in the country, giving this project national reach. This targeting will be based on two criteria: number of out of school children and poverty rate.Sub-component 1.1: Establishing school-based management across general education.Strong school management and governance are crucial for building safe learning environments and motivating high-quality teacher performance. Most school principals and communities currently receive little guidance and support. This sub-component will establish and/or support school management committees in target schools.12Activities of this sub-component will include (i) updating/developing SBM guidelines for each sub-sector of general education; (ii) providing school grants and related school-based management training to school principals
