Project Description
The project aims to improve the quality of basic education for Moroccan girls and boys so they can contribute to the knowledge-based economy. The project supports the decentralization and deconcentration of Morocco’s education system down to the level of educational institutions (schools). The project has four components: (1) developing and implementing school strategic action plans (2) building the management capacities of school principals (3) building the management capacities of human resources managers in Morocco’s Ministry of Education to select and evaluate school principals and (4) strengthening equality between women and men in school strategic action plans. The expected outcomes for this project include: 1) strengthening the commitment of the school administration and the community in the local school development 2) increased efficiency and better responsiveness of the educational system in Morocco 3) strengthening the capacity of education stakeholders to implement priority actions for including gender equality in their management practices.
