The Government of Bihar (GoB), with financial support from the World Bank, launched a comprehensive programme for improving the effectiveness of elementary school teachers in Bihar. The programme seeks to improve the quality of teaching in Bihar through a three-pronged approach namely, improving teacher training, teacher performance and accountability. It aimed to strengthen the institutional capacity within the state to deliver effective teacher education, while simultaneously improving governance and accountability systems for impacting teacher performance.
As an implementation support agency (ISA), we assisted SCERT with development of design and implementation of sustainable, effective, scalable and efficient interventions to achieve the programme objectives which include:
