Appendix 2: Report ED/EPS Name of Staff: CHANG, Gwang-Chol

ED/EPS/NED Programme Specialist

City and Country of Mission: Barbados

Date of Mission: 10/05/03 to 17/05/03

Objectives of Mission: Within the framework of UNESCO’s support to Member States for the preparation of national action plans for EFA, UNESCO Kingston organized the training workshop on “Planning for EFA Accomplishment in the Caribbean Through Education Policy Simulation”, within the framework of the Norway/Denmark-funded FIT project. I undertook a mission to Barbados to act as a facilitator of this Workshop, which took place for five days from 12 to 16 May 2002. Special acknowledgement is to be made to the organizer of this workshop, UNESCO Kingston Office, which made every effort for the success of this training programme. Outcomes of Mission: The objective of the Training Workshop was to contribute to the national capacity building in the strategic planning and resource projections in the context of the formulation and implementation of national action plans for EFA. UNESCO Kingston organized this training programme in collaboration with ED/EPS and the DFID Caribbean. The World Bank also participated in the workshop to report on the results of the publication it carried out with UNESCO, UIS in particular, on the education monitoring indicators in the Caribbean. Presentation and discussions took place also successfully on the theme of HIV/AIDS prevention in the context of EFA planning and implementation. Mr M. Morrissey, Consultant from UNESCO Kingston, and Ms S. Barrington, UNESCO Kingston, provided overall guidance. The agenda of the workshop and the list of participants are attached to this report as annexes 1 and 2. I attended this workshop as the principal facilitator, especially on the planning aspects for EFA accomplishment through education policy simulation, which was the main topic of this meeting. Two documents that I developed were distributed as background materials: (i) Designing education simulation model; (ii) Development of an action plan for education: methodological brief. The workshop was carried out with the active participation of the national specialists of the region. In this regard, it should be mentioned that ED/EPS had already trained the staff from UNESCO Kingston and the DFID Caribbean during the previous workshops in Kingston, Jamaica, and in Paris, France. These experts served as resource persons and provided high quality expertise and facilities for the running of this workshop. They are now fully equipped to provide the required technical assistance in the future for the countries in the Caribbean region. Twelve countries/territories in the region attended the workshop. Having already reached an advanced level of primary schooling and even secondary education, they share both similar and different contexts. All these countries/territories are islands with populations ranging from a few thousands (e.g. Montserrat) to millions (e.g. Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago). Most are faced with decreasing populations while a few others should plan for the increasing school and overall

4


populations. Most of them lack natural resources (other than “touristic” ones) which imply that they need to train competitive human resources in order to cope with the dynamic and changing global contexts. Gender disparities are at the expenses of the male population in all spheres of educational and occupational areas. Quality education was one of the major preoccupations together with increasing financial constraints in the education sector. Although internationally comparable data and indicators were quoted by the participating countries as one of the critical areas to be addressed, there was also a general feeling that UNESCO needs to have a better understanding of this region. One of the most frequently quoted examples was the case of Barbados where educational achievements have been a pride of the entire region, comparable to those of Cuba, but which was listed by the Global Monitoring Report as one of the countries at risk of not achieving EFA. This was seen by the Caribbean countries as an offence to their common efforts for educational development in the region. This issue was again raised by the Permanent Secretary of the Barbados Ministry of Education, during her introductory welcome speech on behalf of her Minister. With regard to the workshop, the programme was carried out smoothly as planned. All the participating countries were sensitised on the needs of formulating realistic human, material and financial resource projections in the context of the strategic and action planning for EFA achievement and in articulation with broader development frameworks. They have customized ED/EPS-designed generic simulation application (EPSSIM) into the country-specific simulation models. Based on the knowledge they gained during the workshop on strategic planning and simulation modelling, they will continue improving and finalising their models for feeding into policy making and policy dialogue with all stakeholders concerned in the spirit of the Dakar Forum. It is worth noting that the careful selection of the participants by countries and UNESCO Kingston made it possible that they could be able to understand and handle most of these complex techniques of the simulation modelling in such a short period. The results of the evaluation done by UNESCO Kingston at the end of the workshop will be analyzed and compiled by this Office. Further backstopping will be provided either through emailing by ED/EPS or direct involvement by UNESCO Kingston in cooperation with the DFID Caribbean and other partner agencies. The output and outcome of the workshop have demonstrated that if UNESCO, through its networked HQs/Field Offices, works together by involving other development partners, it can make a substantial contribution in providing quality upstream assistance for the service of the countries on the basis of the comparative advantages. Follow-up actions:

1. UNESCO Kingston organized this workshop within the framework of Norway/Denmark-funded FIT project. The participating countries said that this workshop was timely in their efforts to revisiting their plans or developing new ones. UNESCO Kingston will continue providing technical assistance for these countries and building institutional capacities in order for them to develop or adjust their existing plans in light of the EFA philosophy. In this respect, those regional specialists so far trained can act as the

5


resources persons. ED/EPS can avail itself to provide additional support to this Office, if requested.

Sharing similar situations, the Caribbean countries are also keen to approach their

educational development in the regional context of CARICOM. UNESCO Kingston is planning to arrange a Conference of the Ministers of Education of the region in December 2003. This meeting would be a forum for advocacy as well as for sharing experience in the planning and implementation for EFA. It was suggested that ADG/ED attend this meeting.

Another key area for support in this region is setting up an appropriate data and

information system. While providing the ongoing support for education indicators and monitoring, additional support could also be provided for institutionalising such a mechanism by assisting in setting up a sound education management information system (EMIS).

Appendix 4: Report on Inter-agency Meeting Meeting to review plans for support in EFA Planning in 2003 May 12, 2003, Sam Lords Castle Resort, Barbados Meeting Participants: Gwang-Chol Chang UNESCO Division of Education Policies and Strategies (ED/EPS) Michael Morrissey, UNESCO Office for the Caribbean Soyini Barrington, UNESCO Office for the Caribbean Marcellus Albertin, DFID Caribbean Emanuela di Gropello, The World Bank Meeting held between UNESCO Caribbean, UNESCO ED/EPS, DFID Caribbean and the World Bank aimed at reviewing UNESCO’s plans for supporting countries in 2003 for EFA accomplishment in the Caribbean. Below summarizes some of the key points of the meeting. Technical Support in EFA Planning utilizing policy simulation tool

- Marcellus Albertin, (Education Programme Manager DFIDC) agreed to support OECS countries and the British Overseas Territories (a total of nine countries), in the adaptation of the model within national contexts.

- Esther Chitolie-Joseph, Head Data Management, St. Lucia was proposed by DFIDC and UNESCO to support DFIDC in selected OECS countries. UNESCO Caribbean agreed to fund her involvement.

- DFIDC agreed to dialogue with Permanent Secretaries, MOEs, to plan technical assistance missions in the Eastern Caribbean countries.

Pilot testing of EMIS development software (EMIS Builder)

- UNESCO ED/EPS informed the meeting of another generic software that was under development by the division to support countries in establishing an EMIS system. This software is available currently in French and should be translated into English by October 2003. It will be eventually offered to interested countries at no cost.

- It was proposed that the English version of the software be piloted tested in a Caribbean country (St. Lucia) in the last quarter of 2003.

- DFIDC and The World Bank expressed interest in being involved in this process (The WB spearheaded similar initiative in the region, but results were not sustained).

- UNESCO Caribbean proposed to support the piloting, including funding ED/EPS participation to launch it in St. Lucia later in 2003.

Support in National Consultation for EFA Planning

- UNESCO Caribbean proposed support for countries in the national consultative/ endorsement process required for EFA Planning. This involved (i) development of prototype outlining the phases in this process, incorporating experiences of countries

9


e.g. Trinidad, Suriname, Belize that have received UNESCO funding to support similar initiative, and (ii) organizing a meeting of Chief Education Officers in June/July 2003 to spearhead national activities.

- The World Bank expressed interest and suggested sharing of experience by the Fast Track Team in developing the model for country-level dialogue.

Preparation of Regional EFA Assessment Report

- UNESCO Caribbean proposed to conduct an assessment of the status of regional education.

- A publication will be prepared in draft by December 2003, that includes: • country-profile reports • the readiness of Caribbean countries to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic within

the education sector • reports on the outcome of activities that are currently being undertaken (Have

national plans been revised to achieve EFA subsequent to capacity building activities by UNESCO and other agencies?)

• extracts from the Global Monitoring Report 2003 (that focuses on gender) • recommendations for action in 2004-2005

- The World Bank expressed interest as a possible partner for co-financing publications etc.

- It was proposed that the final version of the report would be published in 2004 after the Ministerial meeting.

Ministerial Consultation and Establishment of Regional Monitoring System

- UNESCO Caribbean proposed a meeting in December 2003 of Ministers of Education to review progress made towards EFA – culminating activities for 2003.

- The draft publication assessing the Caribbean education status will be circulated to Ministers, and will be the basis for discussions.

- Discussions on establishing a more comprehensive CARICOM monitoring mechanism could be part of the exercise.

- St. Lucia’s education minister was suggested by the meeting as a leader in the region, potentially to host/co-chair such a meeting. (It was mentioned that the next meeting of OECS education ministers is scheduled for June and he has encouraged participation of ministers of the wider Caribbean to discuss common issues facing the region).

- It was proposed that UNESCO’s ADG/ED be invited to attend. Follow-up Required by UNESCO Caribbean Technical Support in EFA Planning utilizing policy simulation tool

- Dialogue with Marcellus Albertin, DFIDC on follow-up support to countries (workplan for the OECS, timeframe, financial support for participation of Esther Chitolie-Joseph, MOE St. Lucia etc.)

10


Pilot testing of EMIS development software (EMIS Builder)

- Follow-up with UNESCO ED/EPS (on expected date of completion of English version

of software, exploring an earlier date (August/September) for piloting than proposed; availability of resource person(s) to facilitate piloting exercise)

- Follow-up with MOE St. Lucia (on agreement to be the piloting country) - Follow-up with DFIDC, the World Bank and other interested agencies (possible

participation/partnership) Support in National Consultation for EFA Planning

Some conclusions that could be derived from the ratings:

- The overall topic of this workshop and presentations/discussions on the various aspects of policy simulation were found to be very relevant and helpful to participants.

- The practical exercises on the structuring of the model were sufficient. The ratings on the other aspects suggests that there was not sufficient time during the five-day workshop to emphasize more on practical exercises in baseline data input, policy assumptions and projection results.

- The case study presented on St. Lucia’s adaptation of the model was found to be useful. In the case of presentation on Grenada, it was not as effective. (It is to be noted that presenter had some unexpected circumstance that prevented preparation of presentation on topic agreed).

- The presentation sensitizing participants to the need for an education sector response to HIV/AIDS was found to be very useful.

- Most participants indicated that further support is necessary to fully adapt the model within national contexts.

Some of the general comments/observations received from participants:

The Policy Simulation Model - The tool, when completely adapted within national contexts will support refinement of

national education plans, provide a holistic view of education system, supports financial negotiations and will support effective management and monitoring of the sector.

- Encourages quality data collection and forces policy-makers to quantify their decisions and to assess the subsequent consequences.

- Most participants commented that additional support would be required to make the software fully operational at the national level. Follow-up is also required for the recognition of this tool and its advantages at higher levels in the ministries of education.

- Input should have been provided from countries in the region to reflect common characteristics in the software. This would have made the tool more “user-friendly” especially for Statisticians and Planners without the Excel skills required to adapt the model.

Organization of the workshop (Presentations etc.) - The workshop was well organized and executed. The presentations were very good and

provided an understanding of the methodology and use of the tool to meet national needs.

- More literature on the operation of the software should have been provided. - Hard copies of the main aspects of the software should have been available for

participants during demonstrations.
