Secondary Education Modernization Project I
Loan 1756 SRI (SF)
(Funded by Asian Development Bank)
The Objective of the Project is to improve the quality of secondary schools to raise national examination results for one million grades 10-13 students in 2,300 schools nationwide. Improved education will increase classroom learning and raise pass rates on national examinations. The Project will also improve access to these quality improvements for disadvantaged students through stipends and by upgrading existing secondary schools to full curriculum schools in disadvantaged areas. This will ensure that up to 50,000 additional students each year for 12 years will pass the grade 11 national examination. The Project will improve management and supervision throughout the national, provincial, and local education institutions so that teachers and principal will have greater control over classroom learning as it affects school efficiency.
