They also support Haiti's Pedagogical Support Centres in developing and delivering continuous learning programs for teachers.

Progress & Results Achieved

Results achieved as of the end of the project (March 2018) include: (1) the national policy for the training of teachers and supervisory staff was endorsed in March 2018 by the Minister of National Education and Vocational Training.
