Effective school governance is key for innovations in curricula, teacher training, and learning materials to improve quality of education and increase student achievement. We work with education departments, schools, parent-teacher associations, and school committees to identify gaps in the delivery of education and to strengthen governance systems to fill these gaps. We take a multi-tiered approach to school governance:
A key strategy for improving access to and quality of education in diverse settings is to involve communities to the maximum extent possible. We work with communities to create and strengthen parents and mother’s associations. The former improve the legal environment for civic participation in education; maintain and manage primary schools; build and operate school canteens; increase access to education for children with disabilities; and improve gender equity in schools. The latter have been increase women’s empowerment and participation in school governance.
Our programs build school managers’ leadership skills. We have developed training programs on effective communication, human resource management, use of data for decision making (e.g., for tracking teacher and student attendance and student learning outcomes), community engagement, and provision of pedagogical support for teachers.
