Internal capacities enhanced
Piloted in 4 districts- awareness and capacity enhanced

MfDR under implementation (RBB, capacity building)
• Other initiatives e.g. performance contracts
Primary Education in Nepal
Reforms
Context
• Education budget as share of public
budget: 17%
•
•
Efforts made to improve
educational governance
Community mgmt of schools
• Primary edu budget as share of edu
budget- 60%; as share of GDP- 2.22%
•
Increased public investment in
education
• Primary education free by law
•
Per capita funding to schools
•
Moving towards universal
completion of basic education
(grade 1-8)
•
Capacity devt at different levels
•
Shift from project approach to
SWAp
• Primary NER: 89.1% (GPI: 0.98)
• Home to school distance (half an hour
walk): 91% hhs
• High repetition & dropout rates– 29%
repetition; 15% drop out in grade1
• Survival rate in Grade 5- 81.1 %
• Focus on results

Poverty Monitoring and Analysis
System (PMAS)
(A national level Results-based M&E system)
Why Poverty Monitoring and Analysis
System (PMAS)?
• PMAS aims to– support the implementation of the national plan
– coordinate monitoring the national plan and
tracking the MDGs
– communicate results as feedback into policy
making process
– make central M&E system results-based

Results based education M&E
• Logic models in educational planning, programming
and design of projects
• Business plan and MTEF in the education sector
• Linkages between national and sectoral monitoring
• Education M&E in National Poverty Monitoring &
Analysis System (PMAS)
• SWAp in primary level has contributed to harmonize
M&E system
Results based education M&E …
• Streamlined and strengthened survey systemsSeparate education modules in;
– Nepal Living Standards Survey (5 yrs)
– Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (5 yrs)
– Nepal Labour Force Survey (5 yrs)
• Periodic reviews inviting multiple actors/ stakeholders
• Formative research institutionalized in school
education
• Learning achievement tests introduced
• Focused on capacity building
EMIS and Flash Report System
• The EMIS gathers school level educational
performance data from all schools twice a year
– Flash I- snapshot of data at the beginning of the school year
– Flash II- focuses on end of school year data
• The national flash report is prepared based on district
flash reports
• The reports cover enrolment, pass rates, repetition &
survival rates, training status of teachers, supply of
textbooks and learning materials
• Te reports also show participation of SMCs/ PTAs in
various activities of schools
M&E of School Sector Reform Plan
(SSRP)
M&E in SSRP
• The SSRP is the school sector SWAp in Nepal which is funded by
more than 10 devt partners in addition to government funding
• The M&E aims to improve education services through informed
decisions tracking achievements at each level of service delivery
• M&E functions based on performance indicators include;
– Assessing compliance with acts and regulations
– Measuring progress against milestones and targets
– Evaluating the impact of policies/strategies
• Utilizes a decentralized monitoring system, use flash reports data,
social audit, and provisions an external evaluation of outcomes
• Education Review Office conducts external audits of agencies
based on norms and standards and submits annual reports to the
Education Policy Committee

Lessons learnt
• SWAp contributory to institutionalize MfDR
• Participatory design of M&E system crucial
• Commitment and capacity key to success- focus
lower levels and retain talents in the M&E function
• Link incentives with credible M&E/ MIS data
• Triangulation of methods/tools for data reliability
• Strengthen the system rather re-inventing it
• Make multi-party review meetings results- based
• Produce data what is needed and usable
Challenges/ Issues
• Make the system functional and effective
• Cascading results approaches to lower levels– capacity issues,
– cost incurred
• Data issues
– frequency and reliability (survey vs. MIS)
– disaggregated data- diverse social groups
• Harmonize TA funding for capacity development
• Frequent changes in leadership and key staff
• Use of M&E data in managerial decision making
Discussion
• Promote country level capacities monitoring
education MDGs and EFA agenda through
regional capacity building initiatives
• Use of VLN of COP- MfDR to further build
capacities through exchanging ideas
