-   Supporting the Ministry of Education and the Jaffna University in developing a diploma course for teachers specialising in counselling children with learning difficulties resulting from exposure to traumatic experiences during the civil war in Sri Lanka

-   Supporting the establishment of the counselling teachers in schools,

-   Supporting the Education Office of the North East Province in rehabilitating Basic Education after the civil war.

In cooperation with the BESP units in charge of the above activities, the BESP M+E units develop monitoring instruments and approaches to keep track of the implementation of the activities and of their effect.  Dimensions of monitoring are

-   Quantity (indicators are numbers of training conducted and of trainers and teachers trained in relation to target figures, numbers of materials developed in relation to target figures)

-   Quality (indicators are satisfaction of participants (feed-back from participants and provincial education personnel), knowledge and skills gained during training (pre- and post tests before and after training),

-   Impact (indicators are teacher performance, appearance of the school, interaction between teachers, pupils and the community, learning achievement of children taught by trained teachers (studies before training, studies after training for comparison are planned).

Contributing to the development of the monitoring and evaluation system of the  Ministry of Education on national and provincial level is a further commitment of the BESP and its M+E Unit. This task is in planning stage and has to be tackled within the present working phase which closes mid 2005.
