Key Achievements

  • In Ethiopia, the second phase of the General Education Quality Improvement Project (GEQIP II) helped procure about 120 million copies of teaching and learning materials; about 270,000 primary and secondary teachers have completed pre-service or in-service training; and almost all 35,000 schools across the country have been externally inspected and classified into four levels of performance. The project contributed to the improvement of student learning outcomes, raising basic proficiency in all subjects between 2011 and 2015 at Grades 4 and 8. 
  • In Lao PDR, in 2011-12, only 6 percent of 3-5 year-olds from the poorest quintile were on track in literacy and numeracy. The IDA-funded Early Childhood Education (ECE) Project (2014-2020), covering 32,000 3-5 year olds in 22 target districts in Lao PDR, is changing this. As a result of the project, nearly 70 percent of children have benefitted from access to ECE programs in target villages, and nearly 82 percent teachers have benefited from training and feedback based upon classroom observations. Evaluations suggest significant gains in student enrollment, nutritional outcomes and learning levels due to project interventions.
