| Objective |
EQUIP 1 is a multi-faceted program designed to raise the quality of classroom teaching and the level of student learning by effecting school-level changes. The focus on improvements at the school and classroom level of EQUIP 1 complements and supports activities in the other EQUIP projects, which address improvements at the policy and systems levels (EQUIP 2) and issues related to youth and employment (EQUIP 3). The lead organization responsible for implementing EQUIP 1 is the American Institutes for Research. They are joined in this venture by fourteen partner organizations including AED.
