Strategic Review of the EDUCO ProgramJuly 2010Determineexternal supportMINED should establish the time forexternal support and the methodology forworking with the task force, to create a mixedsupport team. This team will work first ondeveloping an implementation plan. Here,external technical assistance is contemplated.MINED authoritiesand task force headFormation of task force: 1week at most.Initial phase of work: 2weeks, fulltime.There might be externalconsultants here and it mightbe necessary to consider thecosts this would involve,number of days per consultant,rate, etc.Design by components (fundamental part of macro design phase)The idea is not to make decisions, butto make a final determination of the listof decisions to be made about humanDeterminationresources, school management, andof substantivegovernance. Although in this phase it ischanges foreseen,MINED authoritiesnot necessary to finalize these decisions,systems andand task force headsince the consultation process can firm upregulation to bemany of them, it is important to determinechanged.the options with a certain amount of detailin order to begin to work on legal andregulatory aspects.1. Human ResourcesHuman resourcesPositions forprofessionalschool principalsGiven the sensitivity of this issue, it will benecessary to develop a specific plan thatincludes the specific policy, its regulations,costs (accounting and opportunity), andimplementation, including instruments,training, and monitoring. At this point,it will be important to make the decisionto respond to the changes that are strictlynecessary instead of taking on a completeoverhaul of human resources management.The danger of making a macro change isthat the system may not be able to withstandso many wide-reaching changes and endup paralyzed. It is better to focus on thesubstantive aspects of this transition:positions for principals, teacher contractsand benefits, and teacher performanceevaluation standards.Option D requires all schools to be managedby professional principals. This means thatMINED must identify which schools donot have principals with appointments andpositions.The Human Resources Office should havea “map” locating the schools and theirprincipals. With this organized, MINED canexplore options for reorganizing the systemand developing strategic partnerships on thisissue.The plan in this area should include anassessment of the current status of theinformation system and the human resourcesdatabase, the status of the EDUCO records,and information from universities thatoffer courses for principals, among others.The plan will include the accounting andopportunity costs of having professionalprincipals in the schools.Task force head,Human ResourcesOfficeTask force head,Human ResourcesOffice1 month for discussionwith all offices involved.Times vary according todecisions to be made andthe agreements made.The entire phase maytake approximately 6months.See the section on costs in thedocument that introduces thistable.74

Inthis line, it is very important to developa proposal for performance evaluationstandards for teachers and principals thatincludes accountability to the communityand some clear lines of action by MINEDon monitoring and fulfillment of thesestandards. Developing these standards is anambitious project in itself, but it is extremelyimportant and must be done.Task force head,Human ResourcesOffice, support fromexternal technicalassistance.
