USAID Education Strategy 2011 Technical Notes

The technical notes for Goal 1 of the 2011-2015 Education Strategy provide a recommended approach for counting students toward the quantitative goal of 100 million students with improved reading skills by 2015. This guidance serves as a starting point for missions. Throughout the strategy implementation process, the Office of Education and Regional Bureaus stand ready to provide additional assistance.

The technical notes for Goal 2 of the Education Strategy provide additional substantive material for use in planning or realigning Goal 2 portfolios. These notes focus on trends and challenges, promising approaches for strengthening tertiary education, and workforce development.

This guidance is designed to help missions programming under Goal 3 to calculate the number of learners with increased access to education in crisis and conflict environments.
