| Objective |
This proposal was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, reflecting the intent of the CLASSE team and USAID of forming a partnership to work with and through the established Government of Senegal policies and programs. The Government of Senegal has taken an important first step in developing the Plan Decennal de l’Education et de la Formation (PDEF), an overall strategy for improving educational access and quality in Senegal. The challenge for the CLASSE project is to make the PDEF a reality through concrete operational policies, effective and sustainable systems, and institutional capacity to create effective schools and classrooms.

|
| Components |
| CLASSE components and anticipated results include: |
| Access and Participation |
 |
At least 30 communities have active programs to build and support middle schools and are actively engaged in school improvement planning |
|
At least 18 new middle schools have been constructed and 12 existing schools have been rehabilitated to the required standards |
|
Girls’ education activities are fully integrated into the community and school activities in three target regions |
| Decentralization |
|
The capacity of regional and district entities in three regions to support schools in improving educational quality will be strengthened. Regional entities will develop and implement clear strategies of support to schools to achieve defined goals of school quality |
|
School management committees will be active and effective in the target regions |
|
Targeted middle schools in the regions will develop, implement, and refine school development plans. |
| Policy |
|
A common vision for the role and structure of middle school is shared by all stakeholders - national and regional administrators, principals and teachers, parents, communities, and employers |
|
A profile of the middle school graduate provides an overall direction for planning and implementing curriculum and materials development, life skills supplements, teacher training, principal training, and community participation |
