Objective:
The purpose of this mid-term evaluation is to assess the
performance of the PRIORITAS project on the quality and relevance of basic
education in primary and junior secondary schools in Indonesia. More
specifically, the evaluation will assess the progress of the PRIORITAS project
in terms of achieving their primary goals of:
1) improving the quality and relevance of teaching and
learning in schools through pre and in-service training;
2) developing better management and governance in schools
and districts;
3) supporting better coordination within and between
schools, teacher training institutions (TTIs) and government at all levels.
This evaluation will measure the degree to which these three
goals have been met and the contributing factors that have been responsible
for, or detracted from, the achievement of these goals. The evaluation will
identify programmatic, management, and/or financial obstacles and challenges
affecting program implementation and recommend changes in program or management
strategies to increase the efficiency and impact of the program. Finally, this
evaluation will provide an initial assessment of the sustainability of
project’s achievements and the factors that have contributed to or detracted
from the sustainability of project’s achievements to USAID/Indonesia as well as
the GOI.
