Haiti: Meeting Teacher Needs for Education for All Project

IDA Grant: US$6 Million

Project Description: The Meeting Teacher Needs for Education-For-All Project will support the Government of Haiti (GoH) in the development and implementation of an accelerated teacher preparation program. This project will support the GoH in increasing the number of new teachers entering the system from less than 500 per year to more than 2,500 per year. Recent high school graduates will be selected for three years of teacher preparation. Upon finishing their institution-based training, student teachers will participate in two years of teaching. After concluding their practice teaching, teachers will be certified and employed by the public and non-public sectors. The project components are the following: (i) recruitment and selection of at least 2,750 teacher candidates annually into the teacher preparation program; (ii) accelerated teacher preparation through development and implementation of the accelerated teacher training; and (iii) improved management of teacher preparation through institutional capacity building to manage teacher preparation and contribute to the implementation of the reform.
