The main objectives of the external evaluation of the project for the promotion of secondary education, known as “School Plus”, are to identify to which extent the project built the capacity of the São Toméan educational system and provide recommendations for future actions. The project, which started in 2009, has been implemented by IMVF in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Culture of São Tomé and Príncipe and with funding of Camões, Institute for Cooperation and Language.
Conducted by a team of education experts with vast experience in developing countries from the Open University, the evaluation of School Plus started on February the 25th and will take place over a maximum period of five months.
One of the priorities of Portuguese cooperation, education has received support mainly through “Project School Plus for Streamlining Secondary Education in São Tomé and Príncipe”, which started in 2009 and will end in August 2013.
