While Armenia has made progress in achieving nearly universal enrollment in primary and middle school, pre-school enrollment (for children ages 3-6) is currently only 65%. In addition, improvements in quality of education have not yet led to improved student performance. Poor infrastructure in high schools is unsafe for students and hampers learning.
This project will improve the quality of education at all levels by focusing on efficiency, equity and the development of new academic programs, especially programs targeting young children in underserved groups or regions in Armenia. It supports rehabilitation of high school facilities and provision of learning resources.
