However, further revisions are needed for the work on “Learning Outcome Standards (LOS)” development, ensuring grade-based appropriateness, coherence and logical progression; and guidelines for the LOS assessment.  The Coordination in teacher professional development between RGEP and the Enhancing Teacher Education Project (ETEP) has shown progress. The two have agreed that a Learning, Teaching and Assessment Framework (LTAF) that defines the new features of the new curriculum needed to be developed. The ETEP will take the lead to develop this LTAF with close consultation and support of RGEP international and national curriculum experts. The development of Online learning system for teachers training will be available from 10/1/2018 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Renovation of General Education Project (P150058) October 2019, a temporary e-portal will be rented to host teachers’ training program during the transition. RGEP will need to coordinate with ETEP to develop e-learning modules using a blended approach. This joint effort will help utilize resources effectively.
