Curriculum reform requires strong government ownership and commitment in terms of counterpart financing and policy changes required to support the reform. Improving national school education outcomes requires adequate time and funding. Sufficient teacher capacity building activities, learning and teaching materials, and appropriate learning environments should accompany the curriculum reform. Teachers need at least 3-5 days of face-to-face training on the new assessment and classroom teaching requirements, instead of the 1-day orientation and selflearning modules provided to most teachers under this project. Comprehensive due diligence and accurate cost estimates at project design and appraisal are critical for project success.
