EU-SWAP FOR EDUCATION - EU EDUCATION SWAp Project

EuropeAid/127858/D/SER/KOS Support to the implementation of the education sector-wide approach in Kosovo6 MONITORING AND EVALUATION6.1 DEFINITION OF INDICATORSCross‐cutting issues indicatorsThe Sida Roadmap (Annex IV: ‘The Education Landscape’) postulates that the reason that gender,human rights and ethnic‐related issues are not included explicitly in education strategies may be atleast partly to do with the ineffective use of EMIS and therefore the lack of disaggregated data atschool, municipality and national level. The role of EMIS and data collection is dealt with underComponent 1 above.Languages indicators• All training and guidance materials produced by the project will be in the official languages ofKosovo and English.Inclusion indicators• The Project will take into account the draft recommendations of the Education WorkingGroup of the Consultative Council for Communities of August 2009, the issue raised in theRoadmap (Annex IV).• The Project will work with UNICEF and MEST to ensure that, as far as possible, teachers,teacher training providers, parents, local authorities and employers from all minority groupsas well as groups representing children and students with special needs (children andstudents with disabilities) are involved in the NCF development and consultation process andin activities related to teacher development. As the Roadmap points out, inclusion ofchildren with special needs is ‘well covered’ but the participation of vulnerable groups isinadequate.• Capacity development and implementation activities will include representatives of otherinterest groups, in particular those from disadvantaged and minorities (including Roma,Ashkali and Egyptian) communities and children/persons with disabilities.• The key decision making bodies set up by the EU Project will include representatives ofethnic minorities, representatives from Special Educational Needs and disabilityorganisations.• Any teaching and learning materials, including training materials, produced with the EUProject’s support will be free of all forms of bias in text and illustrations.• Data produced by the project should be disaggregated by minority, as well as gender(including workshop participants etc.).• School Director and MED training should include the collection and analysis of disaggregateddata as a planning tool.Gender equity indicators• The Sida Roadmap contains a useful general checklist for ‘education planning at nationallevel’ in Annex VI and the Project will take this into account in its activities.• The Project proposes to develop a consolidated Gender and Ethnic Minorities Action Plan(GMAP) for the sector during the first project period, based on available data and studiescompleted by other donor sand projects.58
