Capacity Building for Education Reform Program: The new program contributes to the Ministry of Education efforts to implement the Teacher Education Strategy issued in May 2008. The program focuses on upgrading the qualifications, competencies and skills of teachers, as the most important element in educational reform. Research has ascertained that the quality of any educational system will not exceed the quality of its teachers. Through a modular curriculum for teacher training that meets best international standards, the program will introduce to the education system 21st century skills and contemporary pedagogy that focuses on the needs of the learner. The Capacity Building for Education Reform project will work with units and institutions in the MOEHE, as well as those of universities, to implement a comprehensive national plan for in-service teacher training to upgrade teacher qualifications and skills. EDO believes that no improvements could be made to variables that cannot be measured. For that purpose, a monitoring system will be developed within the Ministry to assess teacher performance and measure student learning outcomes during and after conducting teacher training. Assessment tools will be added to the already existing Education Monitoring System. Mechanisms for coaching and mentoring teachers will be developed.
