School Management to Develop and Sustain Community-wide Collaboration for Educational Development

■ JICA “School for All” project developed a package of interventions that strengthens the capacity of the School Management Committee (SMC) stepwise for educational development. SMC is the foundation for developing and sustaining community-wide collaboration, involving different local actors. ■The package of interventions is an effective policy option for the governments of low- and lowermiddle-income countries and their partners to address global issues in educational development, such as the learning crisis and out-of-school children. ■ The package of interventions should be extended to address various educational needs, such as preventing dropout of pupils, and the impact of the interventions should be verified for scaling up.
