| Project Detail |
The development objectives of the Pooled-Fund for Basic Education (FoCEB) Project for Guinea are to: (i) improve access and learning in basic education and literacy of under-served populations, (ii) strengthen the ministry of pre-university education and literacy’s capacity in evidence-based management, and (iii) support the implementation of the education sector’s short-term Ebola strategic response plan. The project comprises of three components. The first component, equity and access in education (costs including contingencies: pooled-fund) has been designed in alignment with the first strategic priority of the second education sector plan (ESP2) and the safe and hygienic school environment objectives of the education Ebola strategic response plan (PRSE). It consists of following three sub-components: (i) classrooms and furniture (costs including contingencies; pooled-fund); (ii) school health and hygiene (costs including contingencies; pooled-fund); and (iii) non-formal education and functional literacy (costs including contingencies: pooled-fund). The second component, quality of teaching and learning conditions (costs including contingencies: pooled-fund) aims to improve the quality of teaching and learning environments in the primary and lower secondary subsectors, with contingent effects for the improvement of learning outcomes throughout the basic education cycle. It consists of following three sub-components: (i) teacher training and pedagogical support (costs including contingencies: pooled-fund); (ii) teaching and learning material (costs including contingencies: pooled-fund); and (iii) accountability, incentives, and decentralization (costs including contingencies: pooled-fund). The third component, strengthened management and governance in education (costs including contingencies: pooled-fund) will support interventions to enhance the overall governance |
