Abstract
The objectives of the Education Sector
Development Project (ESDP) addresses critical needs in the
areas of basic education, such as expanding access through
the construction, and furnishing of new classrooms. The
project aimed to revise curricula, develop instructional
materials, and strengthen the system of assessment. In
addition to recruiting more teachers, training for teachers
at both pre-and-in service was planned to upgrade the
standards of teaching. To address the needs of students
enrolled in Technical and Vocational Education programs, the
project proposed to introduce standardized craft curricula,
strengthen skills certification and testing, and improve
policy and management capacity within the sub sector. The
project planned to support the National University of
Lesotho in its efforts to introduce quality enhancement and
cost containment measures. Finally, the objectives included
improving sectoral management by reorganizing the Ministry
of Education (MOE), promoting decentralization, and school
level management.
