Description and Deliverables

The Project aims to establish an effective and sustainable teacher education system for primary education. The Project will (i) build the capacity for policy making, planning, and managing teacher training programs; (ii) enhance the professional skills of teachers by training trainers and teachers, and developing curriculum and materials; and (iii) improve access to basic education for girls and other disadvantaged groups by encouraging increased recruitment of teachers from these groups, and providing fellowships for pre-service training to women and candidates from other disadvantaged groups.

The Project has four components: (i) building the institutional capacity of the National Center for Educational Development, primary teacher training centers, and Distance Education Center to train primary school teachers by developing staff skills and improving facilities; (ii) developing teacher education curriculum and teaching-learning materials; (iii) training teachers, and educational administrators and managers; and (iv) educating teachers to better serve the needs of girls and other disadvantaged groups.
