Moldova will reform its education system using World Bank funding. A grant of $696 thousand will be used by Chisinau-based independent think-tank Expert-Group to support ongoing reforms in the education sector.<\/p>\n

The grant was launched on Tuesday in the framework of the Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA), program administered by the World Bank.<\/p>\n

The project seeks to increase the social accountability through the inclusion of citizens in monitoring the impact of reforms and budget allocations to education. It is designed to empower Moldovan citizens to engage authorities at all levels in evidence-based policy and budget dialogue regarding educational reform, quality of educational services, and development priorities of schools, as well as enable an environment in which social accountability initiatives thrive and develop.<\/p>\n

Over 65,000 students, parents and staff in roughly 100 schools will be supported by the project.<\/p>\n

“Currently, parents and communities in Moldova are mostly uninformed about school performance,” said Abdoulaye Seck, World Bank Country Manager for Moldova. “This means that key stakeholders have a limited ability to hold schools and teachers accountable for lack of quality or inefficient use of resources. Addressing this challenge is critical in the context of the Government of Moldova’s ongoing education reform efforts given the increased autonomy in managing resources granted to schools.”<\/p>\n

Executive Director of Expert-Group Adrian Lupusor said that engaging the stakeholders of the educational sector in the reform process will increase its efficiency and sustainability.<\/p>\n

“The most appropriate tool for ensuring the sustainability and efficiency of any reform is to engage its stakeholders in the whole process, and the educational sector reform should not be an exception,” said Adrian Lupusor said. “GPSA can serve as a fundamental mechanism for involving students, parents, teachers and the whole community in the on-going educational sector reforms.”<\/p>\n

Over $1 billion has been allocated to 49 operations in Moldova since it joined the World Bank in 1992. The World Bank portfolio includes seven active projects with total commitments of $162.2 million.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
