Abstract

The objectives of the Guyana Education Sector Improvement Project are to support the Government in improving (i) the curricula and teaching quality at the pre-primary, primary, and lower secondary levels and (ii) learning environment in the Faculty of Health Science at The University of Guyana (UG). The direct Project beneficiaries would be: (i) about 146,000 nursery, primary and lower secondary school students in Guyana, 760 students in University of Guyana (UG) Health Sciences Department; (ii) approximately 8,700 nursery, primary and lower secondary school teachers, 821 faculty members of UG Health Sciences Department; and (iii) the Ministry of Education, which would benefit through improving capacity in curriculum design. Given current enrollment shares between males and females in these regions, 50 percent of the student beneficiaries in nursery to lower secondary levels would be female. 560 out of 760 (more than 70%) of the UG Health and Sciences student beneficiaries are female.
