Rural Basic Education Project The Rural Basic Education Project (RBEP) was approved on 6 December 2007 in the amount of $30.0 million (Loan No.2380-UZB [SF]). The loan was declared effective on 30 September 20008. MOPE is the executing agency. The project will build on the work done under the Education Sector Development Program (ESDP), the Information and Communications Technology in Basic Education Project (ICTBEP) and the Second Textbook Development Project (STDP). Project Objectives and Components. The project was designed to help reduce disparities in the quality of education between rural and urban areas by assisting the government in improving the quality standards in rural schools in selected regions. The project had three closely related components: (i) school upgrading, (ii) teacher development, and (iii) the promotion of community participation in school life. The first component focuses on upgrading selected rural schools through the provision of laboratory equipment, teaching aids, classroom furniture, and reading materials. The second component aims at improving the quality of teaching in schools by upgrading teaching skills and competencies of teachers. The third component focuses on improving the school environment by encouraging more community participation in school governance. Project Benefits. The project will complement the government’s efforts to create equal learning opportunities across the country and complement ADB assistance by expanding benefits achieved under other projects to rural basic schools in selected regions. About 670,000 students and 63,000 teachers will benefit from upgraded school facilities in the three project regions. In addition, it is assumed that at least 4,000 school board members and parents will have benefited from training initiatives under component (iii). About 45,000 grade 5–9 teachers will benefit from new teacher training programs. Approximately 1,600 school managers will benefit from training under the project. Further, about 450 methodologists, administrators, and teacher trainers will benefit from training programs under components (ii) and (iii). Communities will benefit from upgraded schools, as active school boards can use school facilities for adult learning and extracurricular activities, and social events. The greater ability of school management and school boards to raise additional funds will increase revenue generation by the schools and reduce the dependence on public budget allocations for operation and maintenance (O&M) funds. The successful community participation will serve as the basis for countrywide replication and stronger governance of the education sector. Download 402.67 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
