MOE capacity to plan and strengthen quality technical secondary education enhanced

The Government of Timor-Leste requested Asian Development Bank (ADB) assistance to enhance the planning and management capacity of the Ministry of Education (MOE) for skills development in secondary education, with emphasis on improving and expanding technical education.   The TA will deliver three outputs to achieve the expected outcome: (i) current learning outcomes and labor market demand for priority skills programs in secondary education assessed, (ii) policy and implementation frameworks to expand and improve technical secondary education developed, and (iii) planning and managerial capacity of MOE and secondary schools officials for quality technical education developed. The core impact is projected to increase the number of technical secondary school graduates with improved, relevant practical skills and learning outcomes.
