CARE International,2024-04-262024-04-262004-01-01https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14394/7944CIE managed a $3.7 million SBEP sub-contract from CARE International from 2002 to 2007. The project had three major goals: Improving teacher training; increasing the capacity of schools to deliver quality education – especially for girls; and improving nonformal education opportunities for out-of-school youth and adult learners. The primary mechanism for achieving these goals is the creation of the Education Support Network (ESN), a new framework for the delivery of services and programs for the Secretariat of Education (SoE). ESN is an implementation and training structure encompassing all SoE operational levels from the SoE central office to the regions, counties and payams with the provision of education and management programs. Regional Teacher Training Institutes (RTTis) provide pre-service teacher education courses with Program Trainers based at these institutes who are responsible for providing guidance and support to Tutors based at the County Education Centers (CECs). These Tutors, in turn, organize and implement a range of training programs such as In-service Teacher Education, Education Management, Alternative Education System/Non-Formal Education (AES/NFE), and Gender Equity Support Programs.South Sudangirls' educationteacher educationOut-of-school youth, adult educationTechnical Report
