GPE TESS holds Mid-Year Review to track progress in the OAK states

The GPE Transforming Education Systems at State Level (GPE TESS) programme held a three-day mid-year review at Zuma Resort to assess progress and strengthen education delivery in Nigeria.

The review was organised with the Federal Ministry of Education and the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC). Its aims were to:

• improve access to quality education for all children
• promote government transparency and accountability
• strengthen the education system for inclusive learning

Over three days, participants:

• assessed progress and received further training
• discussed how to increase enrolment and reduce the number of out-of-school children
• reviewed teacher training, infrastructure improvements, and transparency and accountability measures

The review also tracked implementation status in Oyo, Adamawa and Katsina (OAK) States, reviewed monitoring and evaluation plans, and said farewell to Mr. Martin Elias Simone, the World Bank Task Team Leader.
