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 />
