PROJECT BRIEF
Project for Basic Education Improvement in Support of School Sector Reform Program
OUTLINE OF THE PROJECT
Under the School Sector Reform Program (SSRP) launched in 2009, Nepal aimed to extend basic education from grades 1-5 to grades 1-8 and to provide quality education for all children, but it was estimated that about 55,000 additional classrooms would be needed. Under the framework of Japan's Grant Aid for Community Empowerment, this project was planned to procure construction materials and furniture for 700 classrooms to be built with community participation in eight districts. In collaboration with NGOs, it would also provide technical support to school management committees and teacher training, aiming to improve school management and the learning environment in basic education.
