QESP - Quality Education Support Program

Asyout/Sohag, Egypt

QESP is conceptualized to support the implementation of Egypt’s “Pre-University Education National Strategic Plan 2007/8 – 2011/12”, part of which consists of further strengthening the implementation of the Government’s decentralization policy.
The Program’s concept is based on the Ministry of Education’s (MoE) explicit request to create a more comprehensive approach than in previous program phases and to combine the provision of physical infrastructure (Investment Component) with a Social Component (provided by the International Consultant’s Social Experts and NGOs) aiming at improving the quality of education as well as the learning environment.

Scope of work

The scope of CDC/GOPA will include design and construction supervision of primary school infrastructure in a decentralized and participatory planning, implementation and maintenance framework, as well as the strengthening of capacities of local school boards and district level offices of the Ministry of Education with the help of NGOs.
