EOI No: MOE/TE 51.3 Date:09/11/09
This Invitation for Bids follows the General Procurement Notice for this Project that appeared in Development Business, issue no. 716 of 16 December 2007.
The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Ministry of Education has received a grant from the International Development Association toward the cost of Education Quality Improvement Program (EQUIP), and it intends to apply part of the proceeds of this Grant- H-354-AF to cover eligible payments under the contract for hiring individual consultants as Senior DT3 Manager.

Project Background:
The provision of quality education to all the children of Afghanistan is the main objective of the Government of Afghanistan. An educated and skilled generation of Afghans is essential to the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan and one of the more important ingredients to this is a skilled and qualified cadre of teachers in the system. As a direct response to this urgent need, the Teacher Education Program (TEP) was developed as a multi donor effort led by the Teacher Training Department, Ministry of Education (MoE) in 2003. The objective of this program was to improve the subject content knowledge and pedagogical skills of primary school teachers (and certify untrained teachers) by implementing a national competency based teacher development framework and to support a multi stakeholder program on teacher education.

The MoE has developed a modality of in-service teacher training delivery that will address a range of deficits within the teaching cadre. This modality intends to establish a unified approach to teacher training applicable to the entire country, implemented through NGO partners who will facilitate its delivery. The District Teacher Training Teams (DT3) modality is an attempt to create a sustainable in-service teacher training and support system nation-wide.

The implementation of the Ministry of Education’s National Program for In-service Teacher Training is to be done by using the DT3 modality throughout Afghanistan. The program will be implemented by MoE directly through selected consultants. Funding for this portion of the program is from the World Bank and other donors contributing to the EQUIP I and EQUIP II projects.
