Community Participation in How Is My School Doing Project

In early 2017 the Ministry of Education (or MINERD, for its Spanish acronym) launched the "How is My School Doing" initiative (Cómo Va Mi Escuela or CVME, for its Spanish acronym), which aims at improving accountability relationships at the community level and address governance challenges that affect learning environments and outcomes. The intervention consists of introducing a participatory-based monitoring approach to be piloted in primary and lower secondary schools through a citizen scorecard. CVME also seeks to establish a measurement system to monitor progress levels towards goals set by school communities themselves in a rigorous manner. This project will support the piloting and institutionalization of CMVE approach to improve education management and, ultimately, education quality.
