Support for education recovery and transformation project: Socio-cultural analysis

Abstract

The Transforming Guyana’s Education Sector Programme is aimed at supporting the transformation of the primary education sector to ensure that the country will have the required human capital to manage and drive economic growth and diversification. The programme is being implemented through two operations over a period of 8 years, with each operation expected to have an implementation period of 4 years. The two operations complement each other but are independent. The Support for Educational Recovery and Transformation Project is the first of these two operations and focuses on recovery from the COVID19 pandemic. It lays the foundation for the transformation of the primary education sector, most importantly addressing the unequal delivery of education across regions. The general objective of the first operation of the CCLIP is to support the transformation of the education sector to meet the requirements of the 21st century. The specific objectives are: 1. improve and expand access to safe and improved learning environments in select schools, and; and 2. expand and improve educational services for vulnerable students.
