Lesson
The project’s main objective is to improve the quality, relevance, and equitable access to basic education in Uzbekistan by using ICT. However, the RRP and the PCR had limited discussions on this main objective, presumably because the project was being implemented alongside other projects in the education sector. Notwithstanding, achieving an enhanced access and higher quality of basic education was an essential accomplishment of the project that should have been highlighted.
