Font size:
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through its Secondary Education Activity, and with support from the Ministry of Education and Science are the organizers of the nation-wide School Board Training. From July 2 through August 22, 2008 approximately 1,300 school board members will meet and attend training in order to strengthen school governance and improve education though building school-community relationships.
“By involving more parents and community members in school governance, School Boards contribute to the public discourse on education. The voice of School Board members are a genuine voice, the voice of the community that strengthens commitment and care for the well-being and personal growth of Macedonian students,” said USAID Mission Director Patricia Rader at the Opening Ceremony.
School boards provide a vital forum for parents and other members of school community to contribute to school improvement, school management and student learning outcomes. Through a series of nation-wide trainings, school board members will learn about their new roles and responsibilities and be empowered to make positive contributions in support of students throughout Macedonia.
USAID Secondary Education Activity (SEA) implements activities to prepare youth for employment in 71 secondary vocational education schools throughout Macedonia. In order to sustain results beyond project completion, SEA works closely with governmental and other stakeholders in project implementation. Specifically, SEA works closely with students and student organizations (MASSUM), teachers, school administrators, school boards, and officials from the local and central Ministry of Education and Science (MOES).
