Vacancy for Whole School Development Adviser at Cardno Acil - BEP

*Vacancy for WHOLE SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT ADVISER*

*Terms of Reference (TOR) *

*Background*

The concept for Whole District Development (WDD) is based on the rationale
that under the decentralized system of basic education each district has a
fundamental responsibility to ensure that all schools are at the appropriate
standards. The standards proposed under the BSNP and the requirements of
the Teacher law can, therefore, provide an organizing framework for long and
short-term planning, prioritization and budgeting that include all key
educational elements including the supply of qualified teachers and other
personnel, infrastructure improvement and management, teaching and learning
materials and equipment, and financial resources.

Similarly, at the school level, each School Director and School Committee is
responsible for ensuring that quality standards are met, especially in
relation to facilities and equipment, teacher competencies and performance,
finance and management. These are keys to successful short and long-term
planning at the school level and for appropriate planning at the district
level. Whole School Development (WSD) focuses on effective school planning
and monitoring to ensure that achievement of standards on a priority basis.


WSD and WDD together are the cornerstones of comprehensive, holistic and
sustainable development and improvement of education across the districts
and provinces.

The BEP (Basic Education Program) aims to support enhanced capacity at
district and school level to support the development and implementation of
WSD and WDD. In June 2006, the School Directors and School Committees of
all new BEP funded junior secondary schools will participate in initial
workshops and training to build capacity for school-based management,
including asset management and maintenance. This initial program will be
supplemented by follow-up programs on a regular basis. Similar programs
will be provided to all new BEP funded schools as they come on stream in
2008 and 2009.

At the district level, it is proposed to engage all districts in those
provinces where BEP is supporting new school construction in a program to
build understanding of their needs and how these needs might be met through
a WDD approach. On a demand basis, customized programs will begin later in
2007 to build capacity at district level to undertake the comprehensive
planning that is required for holistic development.

International and National advisers with experience in educational
development and in planning at both the micro level of the school and the
macro level of district or region are required to work alongside MoNE and
MoRA counterparts and representatives of schools, districts and provinces to
plan these WSD and WDD initiatives.
