3. Policy and strategies<br />

During the implementation of ESDP IV, quality<br />

improvement strategies will address several<br />

complementary challenges. Firstly, a significant<br />

number of schools, teachers and students,<br />

especially in the more remote rural regions,<br />

do not yet have the basic inputs for the delivery<br />

of quality education to be possible. Therefore,<br />

some strategies aim at ensuring that these basic<br />

inputs (such as curricula, textbooks, teacher<br />

guides and some facilities) are available in all<br />

schools. Secondly, the quality of teaching in the<br />

classroom needs further improvement. To allow<br />

this to happen, more systematic attention is given<br />

to teacher professional development through<br />

strengthening pre-service and in-service training<br />

and improving teacher supervision and support.<br />

At the same time, the curriculum is being revised<br />

and textbooks and examinations will undergo a<br />

similar revision. Thirdly, quality improvement<br />

depends strongly on the actions which the school<br />

staff and the surrounding community undertake.<br />

School staff will therefore be given the necessary<br />

tools (such as guidelines on School Improvement<br />

Plans), the necessary resources (through a school<br />

grant system) and relevant training to help them<br />
