Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Strengthen the Capacity of Secondary School Mathematics Teachers Nationwide:(Cost $1.80 M) Component 2: Expansion of General Secondary School Facilities:(Cost $7.15 M) Component 3: Strengthen Institutional Capacity and Project Management:(Cost $1.05 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions Since the mission in June 2019, significant progress has been made. Training in Module 1 to 5 has been completed for mathematics teachers nationwide, work is in final stages on the online community platform, and 200 mathematics kits have been distributed to schools. The pilot and training for the teacher’s appraisal instrument was completed, and the development of standards for mathematics instruction is underway. The pilot for technology assisted learning has been completed and a comprehensive review of the program has been undertaken to identify lessons to incorporate going forwards. Construction of the two new schools began on October 15, 2018, and procurement for furniture and equipment for the two new schools is proceeding. Finally, the education management information system has been developed and the pilot of 20 schools is 12/18/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Guyana Secondary Education Improvement (P147924) completed. However, although there have been important advances, delays have persisted in several activities. Tight adherence to timelines and close follow-up of all remaining activities is critical to ensure the success of the Project.
