Strategic Review of the EDUCO ProgramJuly 2010IntroductionThis report presents the results of a strategic review of the Education with Community Participation (EDUCO)Program. The Ministry of Education (MINED) of El Salvador requested this review from the StrengtheningBasic Education Program of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The strategicreview was commissioned from the Education Quality Improvement Program 2 (EQUIP2), led by the Academyfor Educational Development (AED) in partnership with the Research Triangle Institute (RTI).EDUCO has been internationally recognized for its impact on expanding primary education coverage inmany rural and low-income communities in El Salvador. EDUCO has influenced the development of similarstrategies in other countries, including Honduras and Guatemala. However, since the Program began in1991, the Salvadoran education system has developed significantly and, therefore, the challenges it faces havechanged. In this context, this strategic review set out to examine the structure of EDUCO and its policies,both positive and negative, with regard to the needs of the education system in the coming five to ten years.This strategic review is a study of how the policies, procedures, and practices implemented in EDUCO respondto the current and future needs of the education system. This analysis will assist MINED in determining howthe policy decisions made today can contribute to improving the education system that the country needsin the coming five-year period and in the coming decade. This review is not an evaluation of the Program’ssuccess in meeting its objectives. It presents a range of options proposed by the research team, not for thepurpose of evaluating EDUCO against its objectives, but rather to look toward the future and see how thelessons learned by this Program can serve the country.This report includes a proposal for implementation that MINED requested from the research team following apresentation of the options detailed herein. This proposal was developed for the purpose of exploring in detailthe processes and costs to implement the option that offers the greatest possibility of setting a new course forEl Salvador’s schools. This publication is a translation of the original document that was written in Spanish.5
