Background

Ministry of Education undertook education reform as a consequence of signing of the peace accords in 1996.

  • Included curriculum reform: first competence-based curriculum (known as the National Basic Curriculum —CNB—) was published for the primary level starting 2005.
  • Distribution of the curriculum, as many other MOE publications has had a last mile problem:
    • Insufficient copies for every school and teacher
    • No funds for shipping to schools
    • Lack of training for their use

Additionally a problem of usability: even if the curriculum is available, to what degree does it contribute to effective teaching and learning? 650px|center
