Stronger monitoring and support from zonal facilitators is essential for ensuring effective use of interventions made in quality of learning. Although the project developed several good training modules on Program for School Improvement, school-based assessment, teaching learning methodologies and teaching learning resource development and use, the effective use of these modules cannot be sustained unless supported in schools and classrooms by a committed zonal facilitator. This individual is required to visit each school on a regular basis (at least once per month) to ensure that teachers and principals are supported in adopting new management and teaching techniques. With only four facilitators per zone, covering over 100 schools and many subjects in each, coverage is inadequate. It is important to ensure that a sufficient number of zonal facilitators are made available. Strengthening their role within the system and monitoring their performance to ensure delivery will be a key enabler for implementing future projects in school education. [Main text, para. 62]
