The project comprises five components:
Component 1: Strengthen education leadership and management capacity in the target Regions and Provinces.
Component 2: Enhance the capacity of pre- and in-service teacher training, particularly for improving the teaching of mathematics, science and English.
Component 3: Support the adaptation, development, production and distribution of appropriate mathematics, science, English, and other teaching/learning materials to schools.
Component 4: Assist the delivery of basic education programs to:
- Retrieve out-of-school children; and
- Provide functional literacy and livelihood opportunities for out-of-school youth and their families.
Component 5: Manage the project in an effective, efficient, and responsive manner.
The project will be implemented in 2 stages. In stage I, activities under components 1, 4 and 5 will be implemented in the target provinces and the design for stage II will be undertaken. Stage II will comprise activities under components 2, 3 and 5 with a rollout of project activities to numerous additional provinces.
