The Excellence in Classroom Education at the Local Level (EXCELL) project is designed to address priority needs for education in El Salvador and to improve student performance in 250 rural schools.
Through this initiative, EQUIP1 works with USAID/El Salvador to assist the Government of El Salvador Ministry of Education (MINED) to develop and improve its ability to implement effective educational policy; improve the effectiveness of school principals to manage schools and improve pedagogical practices; and enhance analytical capacity in educational research.
The project's strategy is to create excellence in rural schools primarily by strengthening the practice of school principals. The expectation is that better prepared principals will be better able to mentor teachers, which will lead to increased educational quality in the classroom. The project assists rural school principals in understanding and implementing practices that are recognized to enhance student learning.
