Final Report on Technical Assistance of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture for Primary Education Curriculum Development and Related Services

At the end of the project, VUB offers this Final Technical Report for the Consultancy Contract No. 2017/1CF- QCBS “Technical Assistance for the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture for Primary Education Development and related Services.” Despite a turbulent and often adverse (political) policy and project context, VUB succeeded in the provision of high-quality products and outcomes that will lead to the aspired changes within BEIP-II Phase 2 Curriculum Component for primary education in Suriname.

Therefore, VUB is confident that the provided deliverables will allow the current educational policy makers to measurably strengthen Suriname’s efforts in basic education and to set a course for future development in curriculum and teacher professional development consistent with national goals.

The aim of this Final Technical Report is twofold:
1. To provide all partners – IDB, BEIP-PMU and MOESC – a factual overview of the past project conditions and context in which the curriculum development and related activities for 7th and 8th grade took place.
2. To provide an exhaustive overview of all final deliverables that were produced by VUB within the above-mentioned consultancy project duration.
