The main changes to the Project and rationale are as follows: • changes to the scope of Project activities in line to the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC)’s strategy of expanding the Professional Development Program for In-Service Teachers or PADEP/D (Programa Académico de Desarrollo Profesional para Docentes), which will be financed with Loan proceeds; • a revision to the indicators and targets in the Results Framework and Monitoring (RFM) table to: (i) ensure that all aspects of the Project Development Objective (PDO) are measured; (ii) reflect changes to the scope of Project activities; (iii) reflect the extended implementation period; and (iv) reflect updated data collection for actuals for years 2007-2011; • a revision of Project costs consistent with the changes to the scope of Project activities and to reflect cost-savings from activities whose targets have already been achieved or are on track to be achieved; Public Disclosure Copy • a reallocation of Loan proceeds among disbursement categories to reflect changes to the scope of Project activities and Project costs; • a revision of the implementation arrangements to modify the personnel responsible for the implementation of the Project, as a result of which the Project Manager position would be eliminated since the general oversight of the Project activities left under the extended implementation period would be carried out by the Project Administration Manager; • a request by MINEDUC to utilize the latest version of the Consultant and Procurement Guidelines dated January 2011; • an extension of the closing date, with a corresponding modification to the implementation schedule, for a period of 23 months (from December 31, 2013 to November 30, 2015), in order to: i) scale up over 2014 and 2015 MINEDUC’s professional in-service teacher training program, ii) continue supporting the lower secondary education flexible modalities supported under the Project; iii) finance scholarships for lower secondary education cohorts in 2014 and 2015; and iv) complete the training for school councils in 2014 to ensure grants from Project funds are distributed to school councils to help finance their school development plans.
