Key ED-DPG Contributions to the Education Sector in 2011-12 Input to strategies, policy and programme documents, such as: • Education and Training Policy • Technical and Vocational Educational and Training Policy • ECD Policy • Primary Education Development Programme • Higher Education Development Program

  6. Key ED-DPG Contributions to the Education Sector in 2011-12 • Support to key initiatives, such as Global Partnership for Education • Significant technical assistance through the Technical Working Groups, workshops and other initiatives and assignments • Funds: In 2011-12, DPs provided approximately US$ 210 million to the sector, in addition to allocations to the sector from our significant GBS support

  7. Challenges • Inadequate human and financial resources, and in some instances inequitable and inefficient usages of these limited resources • Weaknesses in the dialogue structure itself: • Unclear and sometimes overlapping roles of Technical Working Groups • Confusion about milestones and how they relate to sector priorities • Complexity of the education system makes it challenging to understand roles of different MDAs, particularly in the context of decentralization

  8. DPG Priority Issues • Sector reforms to increase accountability and results to ensure improved learning outcomes for all boys and girls, men and women across the country who seek education and training. • Need to get on with implementation of urgent policy and programme reforms relating to: • Recruitment, training, deployment, motivation and role of teachers • Capacity development in planning, management, monitoring and evaluation at all levels • Improved functional literacy and numeracy for children, youth and adults • Increased access to better quality, relevant education for children from low income households, marginalized groups and for girls • Role of Inspectorate in quality assurance • Strengthening public engagement in the sector
