  1. EDUC 513- Seminar: issues A Class Presentation on Program Monitoring in Education in Nepal By Yukta Narayan Aryal M.Phil in Educational Leadership 26th October 2010

  2. Program Monitoring Educational Program monitoring involves the regular and systematic examination of educational programs, their implementation and administration.

  3. Program Monitoring Cont. • It collects data about various educational programs during program implementation to ensure that the program is being run smoothly and achieving its objectives as per the plan. • Supposed to give effective and efficient outcomes.

  4. Program Monitoring Cont…. • Monitoring is a continuous function that aims fundamentally to provide managers and the major stakeholders with regular feedback and early indication of gradual progress. • It guides the actual performances according to the pre determined standards and tools.

  5. Why Monitoring? • To be accountable to Higher authority, legal provisions, peer professionals as well as to be responsible to all the stakeholders. • To assess how the targeted beneficiaries are provided the services, products or outcomes. • To know whether they are timely, adequate, qualitative, procedural…….? • To provide information and make them participate.

  6. Current Monitoring practice in Nepal • Monitoring, Evaluation and Supervision Division under MOE. • Monitoring section prepares monitoring action plan, provides support to overcome difficulties and problems in course of time. • monitors overall programs of ministry and coordinates with other bodies under. • Mon. & Eva. Section in the MoE collects monthly, trimester and annual progress report from the central level organizations. Educational informations: A glimpse 2009 (MOE)

  7. Current Practice Contd.. • Mon. & Sup. Section in DOE monitors district level program implementation progress, collects monthly, trimester and annual progress report, compile them and submit to the ministry. • In district level SSs, RPs , DEOs, etc. are the monitoring bodies. • In school PTAs and SMCs are responsible for both monitoring and supervision.

  8. Monitoring in SSR • The SSR aims to significantly improve efficiency aiming to meet EFA and MDG goals • aims to ensure equitable access to quality education including all the disadvantaged group, girls, poor people deprived from the main stream education. • Coordination with local authority, NGOs/ INGOs, civil society and Schools, SMC, HT etc. • DOE plays facilitating & RC plays instructional monitoring role.

  9. BPEP monitoring system tools • Monitoring of community level activities- by SMC, VDC,RC, HT • Monitoring of other level in the district- by DEO, SS • District Level Monitoring- RED • Monitoring of all levels by DOE • Policy Level Monitoring by MOE Eg. Srijana School at Naudanda, Kaski- has PTA-21 members- elected, monitors development activities, school activities, separate construction, scholarship…monitoring body – making fruitful contribution. (Wagley, M.P, 2003)

  10. EFA Global Monitoring Report • Current monitoring exercises don’t adequately track budget decision making process. • The no. of out of school children is declining but not fast enough- still around 70m out of school and estimated 56m in 2015 of school going age. • Vocational education failing to target to the most acute disadvantages.

  11. EFA Global Monitoring • Critical challenge to ensure all children and good quality education. • Well design school feeding, scholarship and incentives provide significant nutritional & educational benefits in long term.

  12. Difficulties in Monitoring • It is too costly (from the central level) • It is not timely • It is not so behavioral • Lack of good governance ( Not proper actions are taken- discouraging even to the honest people.

  13. Causes of difficulties in monitoring • Geo- political • Insufficiency of remuneration • Lack of Control Mechanism • Political Intervention • Functional delay

  14. Some Issues: Shall we ponder together? • Monitoring is not prioritized as planning and implementation- needs to be given high priority for both monitoring and implementation, SMC,PTA, DEO, RED and all the bodies should be equally responsible. • Monitoring Section in DOE seems to fail to build a proper network to its lower level bodies. • SMC, PTA, HT etc should be provided more information and need to ask: are they ready to hold them successfully?

  15. Issues……. • Programs should be made public, the procedural part (tools) for implementation their impact through awareness raising programs. • Monitoring and reporting should be made transparent.

  16. Issues Cont.. • Inline Monitoring- monitoring code is embedded into the application. • Outline Monitoring: monitor seems in parallel to application.
