OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE POST
Background and Objective
The Jordan Ministry of Education (MoE) has requested support from UNESCO and its International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) for the development of an Education Sector Analysis (ESA), to be conducted from July 2024 to March 2025. The financial support for the exercise will be provided by Canada, Italy, Norway, and Switzerland within the framework of the System Strengthening Programme (SSP) with Jordan’s Ministry of Education. This will be the first comprehensive ESA conducted in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, following the internationally recognized and widely used UNESCO/IIEP methodology . The exercise aims to provide a joint evidence-based comprehensive analysis of the whole Jordanian education sector, from kindergarten to higher education. It is designed to highlight the main strengths as well as key challenges in allocating and using resources efficiently. The purpose is to guide the design and implementation of national education and training policies and accompanying resources. It also offers relevant analytical information for the dialogue between the Government and the key actors involved in education sector policy dialogue, including international development partners, national stakeholders, and civil society organizations.
PURPOSE OF ASSIGNMENT
The ESA will be a national document, prepared and validated by the Government of Jordan. The development of the ESA is led by the Ministry of Education’s Directorate of Educational Planning and Research, in close coordination with the Development Coordination Unit (DCU) and supported by the development partners under the overall coordination of the Policy, Planning and Coordination Committee (PPCC). As a member of the UNESCO-IIEP team, the overall purpose of this consultancy is to provide technical support to the Jordan Ministry of Education’s development of the ESA. The IIEP consultant will, under IIEP’s leadership and in close collaboration with MoE actors, guide the data collection process, participate in the data analysis and contribute to the drafting of the national report. In particular, the IIEP team is seeking consultancy support for the development of chapter 2 (school coverage), chapter 4 (quality), chapter 5 (equity) and chapter 6 (ECED).
Long Description
Chapter 1: Demographic, economic and public finance context
This chapter analyses the overall national context, including but not limited to, socio-demographic, macroeconomic contexts affecting the education sector. Specifically, it outlines the country’s development context, including poverty and literacy levels. It studies trends in GDP, GDP per capita, and spending on education over the last decade. The chapter will also pay attention to crisis and risks, including the effects of climate change on the education sector.
Chapter 2: School enrolment, internal efficiency, and out-of-school children
Following a description of the current structure of the education and training system, this chapter analyses the evolution of the number of children enrolled and school coverage by level of education over the last decade. An analysis of enrolment profiles and school life expectancy is also carried out. Internal efficiency and the children out of school are studied, through dropouts, grade repetition, and transitions between levels.
Chapter 3: Financing and costs of education
The chapter traces trends in the volume and structure of public spending on education, in particular current expenditures, distinguishing between expenditure by level of education and by type: intra-sectoral breakdown, unit cost of schooling by level of education, type of expenditure by level of education, level of teacher remuneration by level of education and by status, etc. The chapter also analyses household spending on education when applicable, as well as the cost of school infrastructure.
Long Description
Chapter 4: Education quality and Management of the education and training system
This chapter analyses learning outcomes and the school and training institution environment and how these resources translate to better learning outcomes. The analysis of learning assessments will not only highlight national achievements but also encompass specific demographic groups (boys vs girls, children with disabilities vs children without disabilities, urban vs rural, children from disadvantaged vs children from affluent backgrounds, etc.). The chapter will also examine teacher management including the analysis of the consistency in their postings, as well as the management of other resources and learning time.
Chapter 5: Equity, inclusion, and diversity
This chapter addresses various dimensions of inequality, spanning gender and regional disparities, as well as other forms of inequality linked to the ten vulnerable groups of the Jordan Declaration on Inclusion and Diversity in Education. The chapter also examines equity from the angle of the distribution of public resources. The planned Right to Education Review will inform the ESA.
Chapter 6: Early childhood education and development
This chapter analyses the different aspects of early childhood education and development (ECED) in all their key dimensions, with a particular focus on education. It covers the national ECED context and governance arrangements, reviews the different ECED service delivery options, assess the level of access for different groups of children and discusses possible reasons for the existing disparities. Finally, the chapter assesses the quality of ECED services, the impact on children’s development and primary education and present the impact of the subsector.
Chapter 7: Technical and Vocational Education and Training, higher education, and their external efficiency
This chapter will provide an analysis of the technical and vocational education and training subsector, together with an analysis of higher education. Specifically, the analysis will provide information on numbers of learners enrolled, coverage, management, governance, and the financing of the subsectors. The external efficiency is mainly assessed through the links to the labour market. By examining the school-to-work transition period, the quality of jobs, and their alignment with the profiles of school leavers, this chapter provides insights into the relevance of the curriculum in the education and training system. The social and environmental impact of education is also examined.
