USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The United States Agency for International Development–Prioritizing Reform, Innovation, and Opportunities for Reaching Indonesia’s Teachers, Administrators, and Students (USAID PRIORITAS) project began in May 2012 with the aim of achieving expanded access to quality basic education (IR1). The intermediate results (IRs) that the project aims to achieve are as follows:

• strengthened instruction in schools in targeted districts (IR1-1)

• improved education management and governance in targeted schools (IR1-2)

• strengthened coordination between all levels of the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and education institutions (IR1-3).

This report covers the period from January through March 2017 (quarter 20 of the project).

Key Accomplishments and Activities in Quarter 20

USAID PRIORITAS achieved the following during quarter 20:

Leveled Reading Book Program

• By the end of March 2017, the project completed training of teachers and principals for 12,002 non-partner schools in 90 districts in seven provinces and for 113 schools in Papua and West Papua. A total of 48,905 teachers, principals, and supervisors were trained in using the books. The training was facilitated by 672 district facilitators and was followed by mentoring, which has now been completed in all nine provinces.

• At least 12 partner districts have allocated funds from the district budget (APBD) or government allocated school operational assistance funds (BOS) for disseminating the reading program. Several District Education Offices have instructed schools to use BOS funds for financing teacher training and procuring leveled reading books.

• The use of “Big Books” in learning reading through the leveled reading book program has inspired teachers in several districts to develop their own, locally appropriate, Big Books.

Papua Program

• The Yayasan Kristen Wamena (Wamena Christian Foundation [YKW]) program in Jayawijaya finished in December 2016 at the end of quarter 19, and the grant was closed early in quarter 20.

• The results of student tests in reading and mathematics indicate that considerable improvement was made compared with the previous year in grades 1 and 2 in all the tests.

• Yayasan Sosial Untuk Masyarakat Terpencil (Social Foundation for Isolated Communities [YASUMAT]) completed training and mentoring of teachers in all 63 partner schools in seven clusters, to support them in using the Papua Contextual Textbooks (BPKP) and the leveled reading books.

• A showcase meeting by YASUMAT was held in Dekai and attended by teachers, school principals, religious leaders, the secretary of the district education office, and members of the local parliament; the showcase included displays of students’ and teachers’ work and presentations showing the impact of the USAID-funded program on schools, teachers, and students.

• An endline monitoring survey was implemented in 14 schools in seven clusters; the results of this survey will be reported in the next quarterly report.

2 USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017

West Papua Program

• The program finished at the end of February 2017.

• During quarter 20, a meeting was held with senior local government officials, including the district head and the head of the education office in South Manokwari, to report on the USAID PRIORITAS activities and to discuss the government’s follow-up action.

• A final meeting with the district training facilitators took place to make plans for continued mentoring of teachers and other activities after the end of the project program.

• Of the 16 project partner schools in South Manokwari (10 schools) and Manokwari (six TTI partner schools), final school monitoring indicated that eight schools demonstrated very good progress in teaching and learning and school management, six schools showed some progress, and only two schools failed to show progress.

Strengthened Instruction in Schools: Teacher Training Institute Development

• Teacher Training Institute (TTI) lecturers completed Teacher Training Module 4, focusing on literacy, mathematics, and science (primary and junior secondary level).

• A key persons meeting was conducted to finalize the materials for the Improved Teacher Practicum Training module. During the two-day meeting, three TTI Facilitators and two short-term technical assistance (STTA) consultants completed all eight units (including PowerPoint presentations, training booklets, and worksheets).

• All provinces held a final meeting for project partner universities and other stakeholders, including consortia university partners, project TTI facilitators, lab and partner schools, and district education office representatives to share experiences and reinforce the sustainability of program activities after the project ends.

• Representatives from the USAID Progam to Extend Scholarships and Training to Achieve Sustainable Impacts (PRESTASI) met with USAID PRIORITAS project staff to discuss opportunities for a follow-up program for lecturers of project partner universities. It was agreed that Classroom Action Research (CAR) was a popular and worthwhile area of capacity building that would be beneficial to partner universities. Design of a follow-on program, to be implemented by PRESTASI, has already started.

Strengthened Instruction in Schools: Whole School Development

• Training in Module 4 and Mentoring for 296 district facilitators from 50 partner districts took place in seven project provinces during quarter 20. The activity consisted of two discrete parts: (1) training in Module 4, focusing on subject content and teaching methodologies, took place over two days and was delivered by trainers from the TTIs, who had helped to prepare the module; and (2) training in Mentoring, over a period of 1.5 days, was delivered by district training facilitators, who had been trained previously at a training-of-trainers session held in September 2016.

• The rollout of the Module 4 and Mentoring training to the remaining facilitators in the partner districts was completed in 31 districts during quarter 20.

National Literacy Awards

• The Ministry of Education and Culture (MOEC) invited the heads of 19 USAID PRIORITAS partner districts, with good examples of literacy programs, to take part in an event at MOEC on March 20, 2017, at which each district was awarded a certificate of appreciation signed by the Minister of Education.

USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017 3

Governance, Management, and Linkages

• During quarter 20, the project (Provincial Specialists assisted by District Coordinators) began identifying the allocations for dissemination of good practices in each district’s budget (APBD) for 2017.

• USAID PRIORITAS was invited to participate in MOEC’s annual National Consultation Meeting in January 2017.

• USAID PRIORITAS took part in a meeting in February 2017, called by MOEC’s Expert Staff on Central and Regional Relations, to discuss the development of region-based education indicators. The purpose of the meeting was to boost the quality of education in the regions.

• A study to assess the supply and demand for new teachers in coming years was completed and discussed with the Ministry for Research, Technology and Higher Education (MORHE) in March 2017.

• Copies of the USAID PRIORITAS book, Good Practices in Teacher Management, was distributed to 525 Heads of District Education Offices and 34 Heads of Provincial Education Offices, as well as to several officials from MOEC’s Directorate General of Personnel.

Technical Coordination

• A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between USAID and MOEC, which formalizes the relationship between the two institutions, was signed in February–March by the USAID Mission Director, Erin McKee, and the Director General of Primary and Secondary Education, Hamid Muhammad, Ph.D.

• Coordination has continued at provincial and district levels through ongoing technical workshops and routine meetings.

Communications

• The sixteenth edition of the USAID PRIORITAS national newsletter, PRIORITAS PENDIDIKAN, was published in quarter 20.

• The project website promotes project outcomes such as training modules; videos; newsletters; research studies; good practices; and inspiring stories from teachers, school principals, supervisors, and Regional Education Offices. The number of hits to the website decreased from 6,466,031 in quarter 19 to 4,739,086 in quarter 20, but the number of unique visitors rose from 177,377 to 219,025.

• A total of 1,354 news items were published in the mass media. The media covered reading programs, continuing professional development (CPD), teacher deployment, school-based management, teaching and learning, teacher training institutes, and the reading program.

• The project communication team produced 17 videos during quarter 20, to support training and advocacy.

• Two “good practices” books were produced during quarter 20: (1) Good Practices Book on Teacher Governance; and (2) Good Practices Book on Teacher Training and Integration between TTIs and Schools.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)

• Endline monitoring of TTI partner schools was conducted in a total monitoring sample of 80 schools: 48 primary and 32 junior-secondary (3 primary and 2 junior-secondary schools per TTI).

4 USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017

The monitoring included classroom observation, interviews with school principals and committee members, and student assessments in Bahasa Indonesia, mathematics, and science.

• An endline Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) was conducted in the same sample of 80 schools. Results of the monitoring and EGRA will be available during the next quarter.

• The final monitoring data from the schools in the Cohort 1, 2, and 3 partner districts have been processed and analyzed. The following present some general analysis results:

o The overall trend in the three cohorts shows that steady improvement has taken place in all 13 school-related indicators in the three cohorts. The biggest improvement occurred from baseline to midline. A more modest improvement has taken place from midline to endline, but not as impressive as the increase from baseline to midline.

o The biggest improvement was noted for the teaching and learning indicators, while a modest but steady increase took place for the school leadership, management, and governance indicators.

o Although improvement was noted among comparison schools, their level of improvement was not as high and consistent as in the partner schools.

o The achievements of schools in Cohort 3 districts have been outstanding. The Cohort 3 achievement within two years (2014–2016) at endline was very close (even higher in some cases) to the Cohort 1 achievement in four years (2012–2016) and Cohort 2 achievement in three years (2013–2016). That the Cohort 3 districts applied to join the project may have contributed to that outstanding performance.

Dissemination

• During quarter 20, dissemination training activities took place in seven provinces, including training in using leveled reading books for nonpartner schools. A total of 17,042 participants from 4,230 schools took part in the training. This was supported by 406,267 USD of local funding from district, MORA, or school budgets, and 104,903 USD of project funding. Since the start of the project, 232,679 participants from 34,715 schools have taken part in training, benefiting over 8.2 million students. This training has been supported by 8.05 million USD of GOI and school funding and 1.63 million USD of project funding.

• Penilaian Kemampuan Membaca Kelas Awal (EGRA) tahap akhir telah dilakukan di sekolah sampel yang sama. Hasil dari monitoring dan EGRA akan tersedia pada triwulan berikutnya.

• Data monitoring akhir dari sekolah di kohor 1, 2 dan 3 kabupaten mitra telah diproses dan dianalisa. Berikut ini adalah beberapa hasil umum:

- Trend keseluruhan di tiga kohor menunjukkan peningkatan yang stabil di semua 13 indikator terkait sekolah di ketiga kohor. Peningkatan terbesar terjadi antara tahap awal (baseline) ke tahap menengah (midline). Peningkatan yang lebih kecil juga terjadi antara tahap menengah ke tahap akhir, tapi tidak sebesar peningkatan dari tahap awal ke tahap menengah.

- Peningkatan terbesar terdapat pada indikator pembelajaran sementara peningkatan yang kecil tapi stabil terjadi pada indikator kepemimpinan sekolah, manajemen dan tata kelola.

- Terdapat peningkatan pada sekolah pembanding, tapi tingkat kenaikannya tidak setinggi dan tidak sekonsisten peningkatan pada sekolah mitra.

- Pencapaian sekolah di kabupaten Kohor 3 mengagumkan. Dalam dua tahun (2014-2016), pencapaian Kohor 3 dalam tahap akhir sangat dekat (bahkan lebih tinggi di beberapa kasus) dengan pencapaian Kohor 1 dalam empat tahun (2012-2016) dan Kohor 2 dalam tiga tahun (2013-2016). Bahwa kabupaten Kohor 3 meminta untuk bergabung dalam proyek mungkin berkontribusi terhadap kinerja mengagumkan ini.

Diseminasi

• Selama triwulan 20, kegiatan pelatihan diseminasi dilakukan di tujuh provinsi, termasuk pelatihan tentang penggunaan buku bacaan berjenjang untuk sekolah non-mitra. Sebanyak 17.042 peserta dari 4.230 sekolah ikut serta dalam pelatihan. Kegiatan ini didukung oleh pembiayaan lokal sebesar USD 406.267 juta dari kabupaten, Kemenag dan BOS, dan dana proyek sebesar USD 104.903. Terhitung dari awal proyek, sebanyak 232.679 peserta dari 34.715 sekolah telah mengikuti pelatihan, memberikan manfaat bagi lebih dari 8,2 juta siswa. Pelatihan ini telah didukung dengan dana Pemerintah Indonesia dan BOS sebesar USD 8,05 juta dan dana proyek sebesar USD 1,63 juta.

1 READING BOOK PROGRAM, GRANTS, AND PARTNERSHIPS

1.1 Leveled Reading Book Program

Reading is a key skill without which students have very limited access to learning. Improving reading on a global scale is also a high priority of USAID. Activities to improve student skills in reading across the curriculum have been integrated into many aspects of the USAID PRIORITAS program. Among others, the project has worked with MOEC, MORA, provinces, districts and TTIs to:

• Develop a reading culture program in project partner districts and schools and provide reading books in partner schools to encourage the program;

• Adapt and develop kits of leveled reading books, working with Yayasan Literasi Anak Indonesia (Indonesian Children’s Literacy Foundation [YLAI]), for the early grade classes;

• Develop training materials to support using the leveled readers; and

• Provide approximately 13,000 kits to project partner and nonpartner schools along with training for teachers and school principals in their use.

The main program was completed during quarter 20, with a small amount of training and mentoring taking place, and the termination of leases on storage facilities for the books. The sections below include a number of stories demonstrating the impact of the program.

1.1.1 Book Storage and Distribution

In January 2017, the leases of the four warehouses in Semarang, Surabaya, Medan, and Makassar, where the leveled reading books had been stored, were terminated. By the end of March 2017, a total of 12,076 out of 12,100 sets of Leveled Reading Books (99.8%) had been distributed to target schools and district facilitators (to support training). The remaining 24 sets of books for Grade 1 EGRA comparison schools will be distributed in May 2017. (For further details on book distribution and recipients, please refer to section 1.3 Book Distribution in the quarter 19 report.)

1.1.2 Training and Mentoring of Teachers and Principals at Cluster Level

By end of March 2017, training of teachers and principals had taken place for 12,002 non-partner schools in 90 districts in seven provinces, and for 113 schools in Papua and West Papua. A total of 46,089 teachers, principals, and supervisors had been trained in using the books. The training was facilitated by 672 district facilitators; of which 32% are male and 68% are female. The training was followed by mentoring, which has now been completed in all nine provinces.

1.1.3 Dissemination of the Leveled Reading Book Program

A number of partner districts have allocated funds from the district budget (APBD) or government allocated school operational funds (BOS) for disseminating the reading program. Several District Education Offices have instructed schools to use BOS funds for financing teacher training and procuring leveled reading books. Districts that have set aside funds to support the reading program include the following:

• Lumajang District, East Java, has conducted training for primary school teachers. A total of 1,705 teachers (69% female and 31% male) from 425 primary schools (336 Sekolah Dasar [SD] and 89 Madrasah Ibtidaiyah [MI]) were trained in March 2017. The total allocations of funds were 515.5 million Indonesian rupiah (IDR) from the 2017 district budget.

• The Batu Education Office, East Java, provided 270 million IDR from the 2017 district budget to provide leveled reading books to 40 primary schools and conduct training for teachers in those schools.

• Mojokerto District, East Java, funded training for 1,230 teachers from 410 primary schools (private and public schools) funded by the 2017 district budget. The government of Mojokerto District will continue to provide 2,050 million IDR per year for 2017–2021 for disseminating the reading program.

• Medan City and the District of Toba Samosir in North Sumatra ordered schools to allocate BOS funding for dissemination of the reading program this year (2017). It will continue the program for a further four years, supported by district budget funding.

• Aceh Tamiang District Government, Aceh Province, provided 2016 district budget funds for training for early grade teachers, school principals, and supervisors from 48 schools. Mentoring of teachers started in March 2017.

• Bireun District, Aceh Province, provided 600 million IDR from the 2016 district budget for providing books and teacher training. The training is scheduled to start in early May 2017.

• North Aceh District, Aceh Province, has allocated a total of 120 million IDR for teacher training. The training will be conducted in June 2017.

• District budget and BOS funding have also been provided for teacher training in the district of Lebak and in Tangerang City in Banten and the districts of Bekasi and Karawang in West Java.

1.1.4 Developing Big Books

The use of “Big Books” in learning reading through the leveled reading book program has inspired teachers in different districts to develop their own locally nuanced Big Books. Some Big Book details include the following:

• Five school clusters in Sragen District, Central Java, have developed 15 Big Books;

• Eight school clusters in Karanganyar District, Central Java, have developed 28 Big Books;

• A teacher at SDN 2 Trigonco in Situbondo District, East Java, developed a number of Big Books that have been printed and distributed to several other schools in the district.

• Teachers in Indramayu and Cirebon have also developed several Big Books.

1.1.5 Impact of the Reading Program

This report section includes several short reports from the field about the impact of the leveled reading book program.

A simple survey conducted by the project District Coordinator and Program Assistant, together with a school supervisor in Aceh Tamiang District, Aceh Province, showed that after five months using leveled reading books, the reading ability of 70% of grade 1 students, who had not attended kindergarten, showed considerable improvement.

In Tasikmalaya, West Java, an Acehnese girl who attends SD Al Ruzhan Manonjaya could not read at the end of grade 1 and had very low self-confidence. In grade 2, facilitated by her teacher using guided reading, the student’s skills and confidence improved. She was even able to demonstrate her reading skills in front of the class.

In South Sulawesi, early grade teachers showed their creativity. They developed a method using Catatan Harian Siswa (CAHASI) or student diary. The innovative use of CAHASI aims to build literacy skills and to familiarize students with critical thinking. Teachers’ observations show that students’ reading skills and attitudes toward reading have changed in a positive way. Students involved in CAHASI now love reading, help their friends with reading difficulties, and can read more fluently.

Papua and West Papua

In Papua and West Papua, leveled books are playing an important role in improving reading. “We use the Papua Contextual books to teach early grade students. For slow learners, we use leveled

reading books,” notes a grade 1 teacher. A grade 2 student in SD Inpres 62 Gaya Baru, Manokwari Selatan, exclaims, “Now I can read. I can tell the stories I read in front of the class.”

Teachers in West Papua have also developed Big Books to use in their lessons, as can be seen in the adjacent photograph.

1.2 United States-Indonesia TTI Partnership

RTI International contracted Florida State University (FSU) to assist the State University of Semarang (UNNES) in embedding training in how to teach literacy, and reading in particular, in its pre-service teacher training courses. As a result of technical support provided during 2015 and 2016, UNNES lecturers have developed and field-tested 12 modules to support the implementation of a research-based course of effective early literacy instructional practices for pre-service teachers. A list of course modules is provided in Table 1.

1.3 Papua and West Papua

1.3.1 West Papua Update

The program in West Papua finished at the end of February 2017. During January and February, several activities took place to prepare for closing the program. These activities included the following:

• A meeting with senior local government officials, including the district head and the head of the education office in South Manokwari, to report on USAID PRIORITAS activities and to discuss follow-up action by the government. The local government promised to continue to support district training facilitators in their training and mentoring of teachers to improve the quality of teaching and learning.

• A final meeting with the district training facilitators took place on January 27, 2017, to make plans for continued mentoring of teachers and other activities after the end of the program.

Monitoring took place prior to the end of the program and will be reported in detail in the final report about the West Papua program, which is currently being prepared. The monitoring indicates that of the 16 project partner schools in South Manokwari (10 schools) and Manokwari (six TTI partner schools), eight schools demonstrated very good progress in teaching and learning and school management, six schools showed some progress, and only two schools failed to show progress.

Project equipment and materials were handed over to the district education office and SMA1 Ransiki on February 17, 2017, in compliance with USAID approval of project equipment disposal.

1.3.2 West Papua Program Review

USAID PRIORITAS conducted the pilot program in West Papua over a period of 18 months, commencing mid-2015. The pilot program aimed to improve the quality of basic education at the primary level in the newly established district of South Manokwari, in collaboration with the TTI, STKIP Muhammadiyah, Manokwari. A comprehensive review conducted this quarter found that the pilot was remarkably successful in achieving changes in partner schools in the district. This change is attributed in large part to the strong support and “championship” of the program by the Head of the District Education Office.

As a result of the project intervention and district support, partner schools in South Manokwari are now fully staffed and have been refurbished with additional classrooms constructed to accommodate the students enrolled. Attendance has improved, both for teachers and students, and changes have been made to classroom learning and school management.

Many problems remain, including the quality of teachers, school supervision and district management, school leadership, and community participation. An Early Grades Reading Assessment (EGRA) conducted in September 2015 and again in November 2016, showed that the level of literacy among West Papuan children is extremely low compared to other Indonesian provinces. The children scored around 80% lower on most sub-tasks than their peers in other provinces. The exception was the

contextual textbooks (BPKP), following teacher training supported by the project.

14 USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017

listening sub-task, on which the children scored much higher, underscoring the fact that West Papua has a strong culture of oral literacy culture and a weak culture of written literacy.

The results also indicated a substantial improvement in literacy among grade 3 students, which can reasonably be attributed to changes in classroom practice, school management, and district-level teacher management, brought about by the pilot intervention. Also of interest is that the level of improvement was greater for boys than for girls. While the girls had scored higher on average than the boys in both years, the gap was less evident in 2016 than in 2015.

Initial training in active learning and school-based management took place for the 10 partner schools in South Manokwari in November 2015. The leveled reader program was introduced to these same schools in April–June 2016. Both of these training events were followed up with a series of mentoring visits, in which facilitators worked with teachers and supported the implementation of good practices in their schools. Training for teachers in the use of the Papua Contextual Textbooks (BPKP) was conducted in October 2016.

Between the baseline EGRA conducted in September 2015 and the endline EGRA conducted in November 2016, the teachers in these schools thus had time to learn and adopt new practices in teaching and learning, with a major focus on literacy. School and class management had also improved, resulting in better attendance of both teachers and students , and more attention was paid to individual students, including boys, who may have been somewhat overlooked by teachers in the past.

Aside from the direct impact of USAID PRIORITAS’ training, mentoring, and provision of books, the work with the district, with the strong support of the Head of the District Education Office, clearly had an impact. Most significant in this context is having enough teachers in the schools. Prior to the USAID PRIORITAS pilot, many of the schools were understaffed, attendance was poor, and classrooms were often unattended. The District Education Office Head prioritized staffing of the project partner schools to ensure that the pilot was fully supported, that every school had a full complement of teachers, and that every class was staffed.

The study found that the likelihood of ongoing dissemination and sustainability of project outcomes is high, especially in the district, where commitment is strong in the local government. Lessons learned and recommendations for the future are summarized in a report on this review, to be submitted to USAID in the coming quarter.

1.3.3 Papua Update

a) Yayasan Kristen Wamena (Wamena Christian Foundation—YKW) in Jayawijaya District

The YKW program in Jayawijaya finished in December 2016 at the end of quarter 19, and the grant was closed early in quarter 20. The results of the monitoring of YKW partner schools have been received and are summarized below.

The general results of monitoring in YKW partner schools are shown in Table 2. Section A confirms that the number of

trainers and teachers trained were at least in line with the proposals on which the grants were based. Section B records the distribution and use of the BPKP and shows that the vast majority of schools and teachers were using the books and teaching aids aligned with expectations. School attendance also increased in line with targets as shown in Section C of Table 2. Section D sums up student progress in reading, writing, and mathematics during the grants period. These performance improvements are provided in more detail in Table 3, further below.

* The number of teachers trained includes teachers from classes other than grades 1 and 2, as well as some dissemination schools.

b) Impact on Student Performance

YKW designed tests to measure student performance in reading, writing, and basic number operations in mathematics: four tests are for reading and writing and three tests for mathematics. Details of the tests are provided in Annex 2. These tests have been used both by YKW and YASUMAT to measure student progress.

The tests were administered by YKW to a total sample of 360 students in 12 schools in Jayawijaya District. The tests were given to the same sample of students at an interval of approximately one year, by which time the students had graduated to the next grade. For example, the baseline grade 1 tests in 2014 were administered while the students were in grade 1, while the endline test in 2015 took place when the students had graduated to grade 2.

16 USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017

The results for the YKW partner schools in Jayawijaya District are shown in Table 3.

Note: B1-4 refer to the numbers of the reading tests, and M1-3 to the numbers of the mathematics tests, which are explained in more detail in Annex 2.

It is not surprising that the students showed progress on all the tests over the period of approximately a year. Because the tests were given to the same cohort of students, and there was no control group against which to compare their results, it is not immediately evident whether the students showed better than average progress as a result of the YKW interventions. However, if the results of the endline test of the grades 1 and 2 students, when they reached grades 2, and 3 respectively are compared with the baseline scores of the grades 2 and 3 students, there are clear signs of progress. On every test, the endline scores of grade 1 students were well above the baseline scores of grade 2 students in the same schools. The same applies to grades 2 and 3 students. The endline scores of the grade 2 students, when they had reached grade 3, are considerably higher than the baseline scores of grade 3 students from the previous year before project interventions.

c) Yayasan Untuk Masyarakat Terpencil (Foundation for Remote Communities—YASUMAT) Activities in Yahukimo District.

The YASUMAT grants period was extended at no extra cost until March 31, 2017, due to unavoidable delays in implementing the planned program. Activities implemented during quarter 20 thus included the following:

• Training of 56 teachers from 23 schools in three clusters in using the leveled reading books distributed by the project;

• Mentoring of teachers in all 63 partner schools in seven clusters to support them in using the BPKP and the leveled reading books;

• Holding a showcase meeting in Dekai on March 2, 2017, attended by teachers, school principals, religious leaders, the secretary of the District Education Office, and members of the local parliament; the showcase included displays of students’ and teachers’ work and presentations showing the impact of the USAID-funded program on the schools, teachers, and students.

• Implementing an endline monitoring survey in 14 schools in seven clusters, the results of which will be reported in the next quarterly report.

The above activities are described in more detail in the provincial report section in Annex 1.

2.2 Key Persons Meeting: Finalizing Materials for Improved Teacher Practicum Training

The National Training of Improved Teacher Practicum workshop was conducted in July 2016, followed by Provincial Teacher Lab and Partner School Practicum Trainings during quarters 18 and 19. Partner universities worked with their lab and partner schools to introduce materials that provide a focus for improved practicum experiences, particularly encouraging the closer collaboration of the university lecturers and supervising teachers in delivering the practicum program.

During the training, lecturers and teachers gave feedback and valuable input related to improving the quality of the materials. A key persons meeting was conducted on January 18–19, 2017, at the USAID PRIORITAS office to accommodate relevant feedback and to finalize the materials for the Improved Teacher Practicum Training Module. During the two-day meeting, three TTI facilitators and two STTA consultants completed all eight units (including PowerPoint presentations, training booklets, and worksheets). The unit topics are as follows:

Unit 1. Reflective Journal Unit 2. Conference Unit 3. School Observation Unit 4. Guided Teaching Unit 5. Independent Teaching Unit 6. Preparation and Real Teaching Unit 7. Teacher Practicum (PPL) Evaluation Unit 8. Follow-Up Plan

The final version of the materials has been distributed to the relevant project partners and stakeholders.

2.3 Meeting of TTI Partners: Universities, Consortia Partners, Facilitators, and Lab and Partner Schools

During quarter 20, all provinces held a final meeting for project partner universities and all stakeholders, including consortia university partners, project TTI facilitators, lab and partner schools, and district education office representatives. The Teaching and Learning Advisor attended all meetings. The meetings were held on the following dates as noted in Table 4.

Table 4: Meeting of TTI Partners: Universities, Consortia Partners, Facilitators, and Lab and Partner Schools

The meetings were well attended, with over 100 participants at most events. Partner universities and consortia were represented by their rectors, where possible; vice rectors; and other senior staff. Representatives from lab and partner schools and from district education offices, both MOEC and MORA, were in attendance. All available project TTI facilitators were also in attendance. The objectives of the meetings were

20 USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017

• to share the good practices from schools, TTI, and consortia partners;

• to facilitate and continue to strengthen the professional relationships between the project TTIs, the consortia partners, and lab schools; and

• to discuss sustainability of program activities after the project ends.

The meetings generally followed the same agenda. The opening ceremony included an overview of the project program and activities completed over the past four-and-a-half years, presented by project staff.

The next session included a sharing of experiences by each of the project partners: lecturers, consortia partner universities, lab school teachers, and student teachers. These sessions used videos and presentations to share some of the many activities and teaching and learning events that took place over the lifetime of the project. The lecturers shared their

progress in making learning more student centered in their lecture program delivery and the impact that project materials have made on lecture program design. A number of lecturers described the collaboration and learning, which was experienced by all members of the Classroom Action Research (CAR) team, and how the process had complemented and improved understanding both for lecturers and teachers. Lecturers and teachers discussed the usefulness of the Practicum materials in assisting both parties to provide an improved program for student-teacher preparation.

It was most pleasing to see partner universities adopting and adapting training and materials related to improved reading programs. In East Java, UIN Sunan Ampel has developed their own set of leveled readers, comprising seven levels andcontaining seven titles in each level, based on the leveled reading materials introduced by the project. UIN Sunan Ampel has also developed an Android application for the mobile telephone, “Ayo Membaca,” to assist teachers in tracking books read by

students and to provide information related to reading assessment. This university has also developed a complete 16-week PPL program (teacher preparation program) based on information gained by lecturers during their visit to Michigan State University as part of the PRESTASI program.

A number of provinces held demonstration lessons in active learning by student teachers, and some included examples of active learning from lab and partner school teachers and students. Senior university staff were invited to comment on the model lessons.

USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017 21

All provinces included time for group discussions related to sustainability of activities after project closure.

Several partner universities signed letters of commitment, partnership, and MOUs with their consortia and lab and partner schools during the meeting. In Central Java, for example, a partnership agreement was signed between the District Education Office and the Education faculty to extend the collaboration beyond the USAID PRIORITAS program. Also, the lab and partner schools of UIN Walisongo

signed a collaboration with the Science and Technology faculty and Teacher Training faculty of the university to continue the programs.

Ideas for sustainability were discussed in various groups: among partners and consortia members, Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan ([LPTK)] or Institute of Teachers’ Education) facilitators, and principals and teachers from lab schools, university partners, and district education offices.

The groups discussed what was important, achievable, and affordable to sustain activities, and each drew up action plans accordingly. A number of LPTKs wish to establish a small center of coordination in their university to manage activities with lab and partner schools and district education requests for in-service teacher training. All partners wished to continue the successful mentoring program between the university and their lab and partner schools, using the existing KKG/ MGMP programs, funded by BOS and TTI budgets. Continuing collaborative classroom-based action research was mentioned by partners, and a number wished to develop further the notion

of being a service provider to district education offices. Two university partners discussed forming alumni associations, and in Central Java, the group has already created a social media group and appointed a coordinator.

During the meeting, a book of best practices in teaching and learning for LPTK was presented to the partners and consortia, as well as certificates of appreciation for all partners, consortia, facilitators, and lab schools.

All meetings closed with appreciation expressed to USAID by rectors and vice-rectors for their participation in the USAID PRIORITAS program, and all are hoping for some type of follow-on project to continue to strengthen the quality of pre-service teacher education in their institutions and across Indonesia.

2.4 Meeting with USAID PRESTASI

During quarter 20, USAID PRESTASI Chief of Party, Randall Martin, and three staff met with project staff to discuss opportunities for a follow-up program for lecturers of project partner universities. It was agreed that CAR was a popular and worthwhile area of capacity building that would be beneficial to partner universities. The USAID PRIORITAS CAR program was successful, not only for promoting collaboration between lecturers and teachers, but also for improving the quality of CAR findings, improving the CAR cycle, data analysis, and learning innovations. Because of time limitations, the project activity did not support scientific writing skills and the development of academic journal articles, which is a necessary part of the research. Lecturers wish to improve their personal journal writing capacity, as well as support both student teachers and teachers, who must produce academic research papers required as part of their course and for accreditation. CAR is very important for TTI lecturers, and collaboration with the Directorate of Learning–MORHE is needed for effectiveness and sustainability of the program. Since the Director of Learning–MORHE also participated in the University Connect program at Michigan State University, such collaboration will be mutually beneficial. On completion of the Scientific Writing Training program of USAID PRESTASI, the Directorate of Learning–MORHE is expected to adopt it and disseminate to other non-partner TTIs. This follow-up program will be proposed to USAID for review.

3 STRENGTHENED INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS: WHOLE-SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT

To support the improvement of in-service teacher training, USAID PRIORITAS works with TTIs, districts, and district facilitators drawn from the ranks of teachers, principals, and supervisors, to develop their capacity to deliver training to teachers, initially in clusters of project partner schools. The focus is on cluster-based training (teacher working groups, known as KKG and MGMP) and whole-school development. Activities include module development, training of trainers (TOT) at the national and provincial level, school-level training delivered to clusters of schools, and in-school mentoring (known in Bahasa Indonesia as “pendampingan”) to support schools and teachers in implementing the results of the class-based training.

3.1 Provincial Training of Trainers in Module 4 and Mentoring

Training of district facilitators in Module 4 and Mentoring took place in all provinces during quarter 20. The activity consisted of two discrete parts:

1. Training in Module 4 focusing on subject content and teaching methodologies took place over two days and was delivered by trainers from the TTIs, who had helped to prepare the module.

2. Training in Mentoring, delivered by district training facilitators who had been trained previously in September 2016 in Yogyakarta, took place over one-and-a-half days.

The training was conducted with district facilitators from 50 partner districts in seven provinces. Participants included three district facilitators for primary school level (Primary Literacy, Primary Science, Primary Math), and three district facilitators for junior-secondary school level (Junior-Secondary Literacy, Junior-Secondary Math, Junior-Secondary Science), from each of the districts represented. Table 5 shows the dates and number of participants in the training for each province.

a) Training in Module 4

The objective of this training activity was to strengthen the capacity of facilitators in concepts and content in the subject areas of Primary Literacy, Primary Math, Primary Science, Junior Secondary Literacy, Junior Secondary Math, and Junior Secondary Science. During the training, participants were divided into six groups corresponding to the six subject areas. Each group explored and clarified several misconceptions in concepts and skills that have been applied by teachers in the classroom. The titles of the training units can be found in Section 2.1 above.

During the training, participants in the Primary Literacy group were introduced to new reading skills and strategies such as phonemic awareness, read aloud techniques, keeping running records of student progress, and text levelling. The skill of phonemic awareness, an important skill necessary in learning to read, has not previously been a focus in Indonesian literacy development. The participants found this skill challenging. Many of the participants struggled to focus on, and make the sounds of the letters, as the traditional method of teaching reading in Indonesia moves quickly from naming letters to syllabification. The inability of students to hear and identify the sounds of the language was also shown

USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017 25

in below average scores on EGRA tests. As shown during the workshop and on EGRA test scores, the concept of phonemic awareness is one that requires further development for teachers and students.

The general feedback from participants was that the materials were very important and met their needs. Participants identified their preference for the more focused approach to content and application, rather than general pedagogy issues, expressing the wish for more of this type of training. They expressed the hope that following projects will train teachers in content as well as in effective teaching and learning strategies.

b) Training in Mentoring for District Facilitators

The participants in the training in Mentoring for district facilitators were the same as those for Module 4. The training aimed to increase the mentoring skills of the district and TTI training facilitators, on whom the program relies for its sustainability and further development at district level. The participants were divided into two groups: for primary schools and junior secondary schools.

The training focused primarily on classroom observation. On the first day of the training, the participants watched and discussed videos of teaching and learning. The primary school level participants watched a total of eight videos and analyzed six of them (a thematic video; and social studies, science, and Bahasa; and 2 videos on literacy). The junior secondary school participants analyzed 4 videos (math, science, and 2 videos on Bahasa Indonesia). They also watched a further two videos on English and social studies without discussing them.

Participants identified and discussed good practices in the lessons they observed, as well as those practices that need improving in various teaching areas, including:

• The lesson introduction

• Classroom management

• Questioning and task assignment

• Students’ written work.

At the end of day one, the participants practiced giving feedback to teachers during mentoring, to improve the teaching and learning processes.

On the second day of mentoring training, the participants observed real teaching in a project partner school, to practice in a real situation observing and identifying good practices and practices that needed improving, as well as discussing how to address any issues they found.

The training was very positively received by the participants, who were better able to identify good practices and areas for improvement in the videos, where lessons had been compressed and focused, rather than in the classroom, where one can become more easily distracted by unimportant details.

3.2 District Training of District Facilitators in Module 4 and Mentoring

Following the provincial TOT, which was attended by only three participants from primary schools and three participants from junior secondary schools in each district, the participants were to share the training with other district facilitators and teachers. This sharing has been taking place in most cases through a series of district facilitator meetings. However, in some districts, the junior secondary school training has been delivered directly through the teachers working groups (MGMP).

Table 7 shows the status of the Module 4 and Mentoring training in the 50 USAID PRIORITAS partner districts. The activities were completed in March 2017 in 31 districts and will be completed in the remaining 11 districts in April 2017.

3.3 Implementation of Module 4 at School and Cluster Level

Both Module 4, which consisted of a large number of units, and the videos used in the Mentoring training, were designed to be used as a unit or a video at a time during teachers’ working group meetings (KKG and MGMP) over a period of months. District facilitators are also encouraged to make their own videos of lessons to use as discussion material in teachers working group meetings.

3.4 Other District Level Activities

Other district level activities continuing with project support during quarter 20 include:

• Mentoring of teachers in a few districts through the KKG and MGMP to follow up on Module 3 training; and

• Dissemination of project teacher and school principal training to additional non-project schools (reported in more detail in Section 5).

3.5 National Literacy Awards for USAID PRIORITAS Districts

To support the literacy program being implemented by MOEC and at the request of the ministry, USAID PRIORITAS selected 19 of its partner districts with good examples of literacy programs and provided MOEC with details of each district’s program. The National School Literacy Organisation formed by the ministry assessed the 19 districts and ranked 10 of them as “very good” and the remaining nine districts as “good.”

MOEC then invited the Heads of the 19 districts and the Heads of their Education Offices to Jakarta to take part in an event at MOEC on March 20, 2017, at which each district was awarded a certificate

28 USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017

of appreciation signed by the Minister of Education. Table 8 shows the list of districts receiving the award.

The award event was hosted by the Director-General of Basic and Secondary Education, Hamid Muhammad Ph.D., who made a speech at the ceremony praising the achievements of the districts and their schools and hoping that these achievements would serve as an example and motivation to other districts and schools. He then presented the awards to the districts classed as “very good.” The USAID Education Office Director, Dr. Peter Cronin, made a speech on behalf of USAID in which he expressed appreciation of the excellent cooperation between the Government of Indonesia (GOI), USAID, and the project. He also presented the awards to the districts classed as “good.”

A primary school student from SD Allakuang, Sidrap, South Sulawesi, and two junior secondary school students from Lumajang, East Java, gave presentations about the literacy programs in their schools. The presentations were very well received by the participants in the event. Representatives of seven districts, mainly District Heads, one from each partner province, then joined a panel to explain about the literacy program in their districts.

4 GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT, AND LINKAGES The focus of the Governance and Management program in quarter 20 was to support the dissemination and sustainability of project interventions and outcomes through:

1. Monitoring the implementation of district and MORA policies and plans relating to the dissemination and sustainability of good practices developed under USAID PRIORITAS; and

2. Policy dialogue and advocacy at national and sub-national levels.

During this quarter, the project monitored the development of budgeted annual plans, based on five-year strategic plans (renstra) prepared the previous year. These plans focus on dissemination and sustainability of USAID PRIORITAS programs in annual district and MORA budgets. At the same time, the project continued to advocate for dissemination and sustainability of good practices at the district level.

A number of policy studies were completed this quarter. USAID PRIORITAS also took part in key planning and policy discussions at the national level. Each of these is discussed below.

4.1 Policy Implementation in Districts

Support for districts and for MORA with the Teacher Deployment Program and planning for CPD finished in 2016. Monitoring the development of policy implementation continues. To date, 48 district regulations have been promulgated as a result of USAID PRIORITAS interventions: 33 regulations about teacher deployment in partner districts, seven regulations about CPD, and eight regulations about literacy and reading culture. These include the following new regulations:

• Blora Bupati Decree No. 25, 2016, on the Implementation of Continuing Professional Development for Teachers in Blora Region.

• Purbalingga Bupati Regulation No. 2, 2016, on Mentoring and Continuing Professional Development for Teachers and Education Personnel.

• Aceh Tamiang Bupati Decree No. 5, 2016, on Mentoring and Continuing Professional Development for Teachers and Education Personnel.

• Aceh Tamiang Bupati Regulation No. 6, 2016, concerning restructuring and equal distribution of teachers in Aceh Tamiang District.

4.2 Budgeting for Dissemination in District Budgets (APBD 2017)

As a follow-up to the workshop on dissemination of good practices conducted in quarter 18, project partner districts, which had held elections in 2015, prepared indicative budgets for the five principal USAID PRIORITAS programs: active learning, school-based management, teacher management (including teacher deployment and CPD), literacy/reading culture, and inclusive education. The indicative budget for the 2017–2021 period in these 37 districts amounted to 1.13 trillion IDR (approximately 87 million USD).

During quarter 20, the project (Provincial Specialists assisted by District Coordinators) began identifying the allocations for dissemination of good practices in each district’s budget (APBD) for 2017. Budget allocations for districts in Central Java and Banten are reported in Table 9 below; other provinces’ budgets are still in process.

During the previous quarter, USAID PRIORITAS completed a program of support for MORA to plan and budget for dissemination training to reach all madrasah in partner districts. This support included workshops at national and provincial levels and follow-up mentoring at the district level. The national level workshop was fully funded by MORA. Monitoring of MORA 2017 budget allocations in each district for dissemination of USAID PRIORITAS programs also began this quarter. Table 10 below, shows the 2017 allocations for districts in Banten Province.

4.3 National Consultation Meeting, Ministry for Education and Culture, 2017

USAID PRIORITAS was invited to participate in MOEC’s annual National Consultation Meeting, known as “Rembuk Nasional,” on January 26–27, 2017. The Rembuk Nasional is a meeting held annually in January to formulate plans and a policy agenda for the coming year (for implementation of the annual work plan, which had been prepared in the previous year). USAID PRIORITAS representatives took part in two types of activities: an education exhibition and a commission meeting.

USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017 31

a) Education Exhibition

USAID PRIORITAS books on good practices in active learning, school-based management, and teacher management were on display at the exhibition, as well as training modules and various guidebooks.

Copies of the USAID PRIORITAS book, Good Practices in Teacher Management, was distributed to 525 Heads of District Education Offices and 34 Heads of Provincial Education Offices, as well as to several officials from MOEC’s Directorate General of Personnel.

Other good practice books (Active Learning and School-Based Management), along with training modules and guidelines, were handed out at the close of the meeting, as only a limited number were available.

b) Commission Meetings

The proceedings of the Rembuk Nasional were divided into three commissions as noted below.

Commission 1: Improvement of Educational Equity Services, with sub-themes:

• Improving Implementation of the Smart Indonesia Program (Program Indonesia Pintar or PIP) • Developing Education and Culture for the Remote Areas

Commission 2: Quality, Relevance, and Competitiveness, with the sub-themes:

• Implementation of the 2013 Curriculum • Strengthening Character Education • Improving Indonesia’s Competitiveness through Vocational Education and Training • Quality Improvement and Management of Teachers and Education Personnel • Strengthening the Assessment System

Commission 3: Strengthening the Governance of Education and Culture, with sub-themes:

• Strengthening the Central and Regional Synergy in the Implementation of Law No.23/2014 on Education and Culture

• Institutional Strengthening and Governance of Education.

A representative of USAID PRIORITAS took part in the Commission 2 sessions on Quality Improvement and Management of Teachers and Education Personnel and gave important input based on the experience, outcomes, and lessons learned from USAID PRIORITAS.

4.4 Development of Region-Based Technical Education Standards

USAID PRIORITAS took part in a meeting on February 21, 2017, called by MOEC’s Expert Staff on Central and Regional Relations, to discuss the development of region-based education indicators. The purpose of the meeting was to boost the quality of education in the regions, to address the quality gap between the schools within regions and between regions, as well as the diversity of local characteristics in different areas.

As part of the formal planning process for the education sector, each level of government (central, provincial, and district) prepares five-year strategic plans that include indicators for the success of each program. It is important that the indicators in these plans are well aligned between each level, to ensure coordination of policy and programs and, thereby, overall efficiency and effectiveness within the education system. A substantial misalignment would suggest a poorly coordinated policy and planning framework, with resulting inefficiencies and ineffectiveness in policy implementation. Meanwhile, it is expected that districts and provinces will include some indicators specific to their context, reflecting local needs and priorities.

32 USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017

USAID PRIORITAS mapped the indicators for education in 37 partner districts that had held local elections in 2015. The results of the mapping revealed three items of interest:

1. A significant variation originally existed in the alignment of MOEC’s national indicators with district indicators. This variation ranged from between 15% to 77%, with an average of 32% (meaning about one-third of district indicators were aligned with national indicators).

2. Following the USAID PRIORITAS workshop in these districts, the indicator alignment increased to an average of 55%, with a range of 25% to 85% (as in Figure 2 below).

3. Some districts have produced region-specific indicators, such as illiteracy levels, provision of local scholarships, and transition rates from primary to secondary education.

The USAID PRIORITAS experience in mapping and improving the alignment of planning indicators between districts and the center proved very valuable as input to MOEC’s effort to develop region-based education indicators and education standards.

Figure.2: Alignment of Planning Indicators between Districts and MOEC, 2015–2019

4.5 Policy Studies

Several policy studies are being conducted during the final project period. These add to earlier studies conducted, which included Collaborative District Capacity Assessments (2012, 2013, and 2014), a study on the Role of the Province in Education Management (2012), a study of Teacher Deployment in Cohort 1 Districts (2015), and a study of the USAID PRIORITAS Teacher Deployment and Teacher Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programs (2016).

USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017 33

The aim of these studies is to obtain maximum value from the outcomes of USAID PRIORITAS interventions, to identify lessons learned and policy implications to support better-targeted GOI, USAID, and other donor programs in the future. Studies completed this quarter include the following:

1. A review of the USAID PRIORITAS TTI interventions to identify early impacts, lessons learned, and policy implications was completed this quarter and discussed with USAID and project personnel at the national team meeting in February.

2. A study to assess the supply and demand for new teachers in coming years was completed and discussed with MORHE on March 20, 2017.

3. A review of the pilot program in West Papua was also completed this quarter.

Final reports on these three studies will be submitted to USAID in the coming quarter. Each of these is discussed below.

4.5.1 A Review of the USAID PRIORITAS TTI Program

This substantial TTI Program review was completed in the previous quarter. The study investigated the TTI program, bringing together and analyzing existing project documents and M&E reports, and providing data on facilitators and participants,\. information on TTI partnerships with districts and other agencies; and the advice and comments of TTI specialists, consultants, and counterparts.

A presentation on the review was given to USAID and project personnel at the national team meeting in February. Key outcomes, lessons learned, and recommendations for the future were discussed. Through discussion with field staff, it became evident that the number of training participants had been somewhat underreported. This problem arose due to inconsistent designation of activities and training events in field offices. As a result, a thorough review of the training data was conducted. According to the latest updated project data, USAID PRIORITAS has trained a total of 3,180 participants in the TTI program. This includes 1,431 lecturers from partner TTIs; a further 268 facilitators, who are lecturers from the same partner TTIs; 947 lecturers from consortia TTIs; and 52 non-academic staff (mainly trainers from MOEC’s teacher-training centers, known as LPMP, and supervising teachers from lab and partner schools). Including the facilitators, a total of 1,699 lecturers were thus trained from the 16 partner TTIs. This total does not include the approximately 2,000 lecturers and others trained in TTI-funded and co-funded dissemination activities.

The final report is being edited and will be submitted next quarter. The report outlines the objective of the program and the project’s response. It describes the context, focusing on the current state of teacher training in Indonesia, including challenges, and discusses project outcomes, impact, issues, and lessons learned, with recommendations for the future.

4.5.2 Teacher Supply and Demand Study

USAID PRIORITAS completed the Teacher Deployment program, known as Penataan dan Pemerataan Guru (PPG) in 50 districts in 2015. Thus, the project has mapped teacher deployment in around 15% of primary and junior-secondary schools in Indonesia. As a result of this analysis, it became clear that a substantial oversupply of teachers exists in Indonesia. However, a disparity exists between the supply of primary and the supply of secondary level teachers, with an undersupply in the former and an oversupply in the latter.

34 USAID PRIORITAS – Quarterly Report No. 20, January–March 2017

Improved incomes for teachers as a result of the teacher certification program have made teaching a more desirable profession, and there is increased demand for places in teacher training institutes (TTI). Partly as a result of this, recent years have seen an increase in the number of small independent TTIs. According to MORHE, many of these are of poor quality.

In response to a request from MORHE’s Director General of Institutions (Dirjen Kelembagaan), USAID PRIORITAS undertook a small study to determine (1) the demand for new primary school teachers over the coming years, and (2) the supply of new primary school teachers over the coming years, given current conditions.

The Supply and Demand study considered current teacher numbers and deployment, population trends (predicted growth in student enrollments), current and trending average class size in different provinces and districts, and attrition through teacher retirements over the coming years. To determine trends in supply, the study looked at current and projected enrollments in Primary School Teacher Education Department (PGSD) programs across the country, along with completion rates. The study found that, based on these trends, an undersupply of teachers is expected for primary schools over the coming eight years. Results were disaggregated by region. Although efforts to improve the efficiency of teacher deployment can somewhat mitigate the undersupply, it will still be evident. Undersupply mitigation efforts include merging small schools, creating multi-grade classes, and redeploying subject teachers that are surplus to current requirements.

This Supply and Demand study was completed during quarter 20 and results were presented to MORHE’s Director of Higher Education—Institutional Development (Direktur Pengembangan Kelembagaan Pendidikan Tinggi) on March 20, 2017. The response was very enthusiastic. The results of this study will enable MORHE to determine numbers of new primary school teachers required and to regulate TTIs accordingly. The Director indicated that he will use the study findings as a basis for policy (particularly limiting approvals for new TTIs in Java in the immediate future) and, further, that he intends to commission a follow-up study, fully-funded by MORHE, using the same methodology to assess supply of, and demand for, subject-based teachers in junior- and senior-secondary schools (SMP, SMA, and SMK).

5 DISSEMINATION OF SCHOOL LEVEL PROGRAMS Table 11 shows that during quarter 20, dissemination in seven provinces involved 17,042 participants (mainly teachers). As in the previous quarters, the dissemination involved more female (59.2%) than male teachers (40.8%). These participants came from 4,230 schools, with the largest number coming from West Java, Central Java, and East Java. The table also shows that the average number of participants per school is 4.0.

The project is continuing to work on an accurate head-count of the number of schools participating in project activities. In Table 12, the number noted in column 4 (No. of Schools) is the temporary result of this head count. This number is expected to decline in the future, since the cases of one school recorded with two different spellings are still being identified.

Table 13 shows that during quarter 20, the local contribution (mainly from district or school budget) was 406,267 USD (79.5%) and USAID PRIORITAS contributed 104,903 USD (20.5%).

6 COORDINATION WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF INDONESIA (GOI)

Coordination with national level ministries, especially MOEC, MORA, and MORHE, has been ongoing during quarter 20.

6.1 Memorandum of Assistance

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between USAID and MOEC, which formalizes the relationship between the two institutions, was signed in February–March by the USAID Mission Director, Erin McKee, and the Director General of Primary and Secondary Education, Hamid Muhammad Ph.D. This MOU replaces the former Assistance Agreement between USAID and the Coordinating Ministry for People’s Welfare (MENKO KESRA/PMK) and supports the legal basis for project activities in the country.

6.2 MOEC Consultation Meetings

As reported in Sections 4.3 and 4.4, USAID PRIORITAS took part in two MOEC consultation meetings at the ministry’s invitation. These meetings were as follows:

1. USAID PRIORITAS was invited to participated in MOEC’s annual National Consultation Meeting, known as “Rembuk Nasional,” on January 26–27, 2017. The Rembuk Nasional is a meeting held annually in January to formulate plans and a policy agenda for the coming year (for implementation of the annual work plan, which was prepared in the previous year).

2. USAID PRIORITAS took part in a meeting on February 21, 2017, called by MOEC’s Expert Staff on Central and Regional Relations, to discuss the development of region-based education indicators. The purpose of the meeting was to boost the quality of education in the regions, to address the quality gap between the schools within regions and between regions, as well as the diversity of local characteristics in different areas.

6.3 General Coordination Activities

Meanwhile, coordination continued at the provincial and district levels through ongoing technical workshops and routine meetings. This coordination is now routine and frequent at all levels of government. The extensive and widespread nature of coordination is reflected in detailed reports included in Annex 3.

8 MONITORING AND EVALUATION During quarter 20, the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) team has implemented two main activities:

1. Conducted the third round of monitoring in the TTI lab and partner schools; and

2. Prepared the final report of school monitoring in Cohort 1, Cohort 2, and Cohort 3 districts.

8.1 Conducting Third Round of Monitoring of the Lab and Partner Schools

The project is working together with 16 TTIs in the seven provinces, excluding Papua, in building the capacity to provide better quality of instruction. A part of the joint undertaking is to include 144 TTI partner schools (nine per TTI: six primary and three junior-secondary) in the project intervention.

Beginning in 2014, the first baseline monitoring was conducted in a sample of five schools (three primary and two junior-secondary schools from each of the 16 TTIs). The total monitoring sample for 16 TTIs consisted of 80 schools: 48 primary schools and 32 junior-secondary schools. The second monitoring round was conducted in 2015, and the third monitoring round (final or endline) was conducted in February–March 2017. The monitoring methodology is the same as was applied for the school monitoring in the 50 USAID PRIORITAS partner districts in terms of aspects covered, instruments used for data collection, and analysis methods applied.

In 2017, the data collection was carried out by 82 enumerators, comprising school supervisors, principals, and teachers. Most of these 82 were also enumerators for data collection in the sample schools of partner districts. Only in Aceh were six enumerators selected from among the project’s provincial staff, and another six were new graduates from the TTI in Banda Aceh. (Table 18).

The monitoring data are being processed and analyzed, and the summary results of the three monitoring rounds (2014, 2015, and 2017) in TTI partner schools (baseline, midline, and endline) will be reported in May 2017.

8.2 Preparing the Final Report of School Monitoring in Cohort 1, Cohort 2, and Cohort 3 Districts

The final school level monitoring was conducted from September to December 2016. The monitoring covered all 638 samples of partner and comparison schools in 50 partner districts (Table 24).

Table 24: Total Number of Schools Monitored in 2016.

Cohort 3 49 0 49

Grand Total 341 297 638

The monitoring data has been processed and analyzed. Table 25 presents the preliminary results of the baseline, midline, and endline of the school monitoring. Some general results are noted as follows:

• The overall trend in the three cohorts shows that steady improvements were taking place for all 13 school-related indicators in the three cohorts. The biggest improvement took place from baseline to midline. Modest improvement was still taking place from midline to endline, but not as impressive as the improvement from baseline to midline had been.

• The biggest improvement was in the teaching and learning indicators (1R1, 1R2, 1R3, 1R6), while modest but steady increase took place for school leadership, management, and governance indicators (1R16, 2R1, 2R2).

• Although improvement was noted among comparison schools, their level of improvement was neither as high nor as steady as in the partner schools.

• The achievements of schools in Cohort 3 districts have been outstanding. The Cohort 3 achievement within two years (2014–2016) at endline was very close (even higher in some cases) to the Cohort 1 achievement in four years (2012–2016) and Cohort 2 achievement in three years (2013–2016). That the Cohort 3 districts applied and voluntarily joined the project may have contributed to that outstanding performance.

9 EXTERNAL USAID PRIORITAS IMPACT EVALUATION USAID has contracted Management Systems International (MSI) to conduct a final impact evaluation of the USAID PRIORITAS project. The evaluation team started work in March 2017 and is expected to complete a report on their evaluation by June 2017.

Project staff had a meeting with a number of members of MSI staff and the evaluation team and with USAID in February 2017 to discuss preparations for the evaluation. Following this meeting, USAID PRIORITAS shared relevant reports and other documents with the evaluation team.

Further meetings between project staff and the evaluation team were held in early March to (1) brief the team on project activities; and (2) support their preparations for field data collection.

The evaluation team have been visiting project sites in four provinces (North Sumatra, Central Java, East Java, and South Sulawesi) during the latter part of March 2017. The visits will be completed in early April. Project staff at provincial and district levels have been supporting the evaluation team in arranging and implementing their field data collection.

On their return from their field visits, it is expected that the MSI evaluation team will hold further meetings with project staff from the Jakarta office to discuss their findings and obtain further information.

10 OTHER ACTIVITIES

10.1 USAID Mission Director and US Consul in Surabaya Visit South Sulawesi

On January 26, 2017, USAID Indonesia Mission Director, Erin McKee, and American Consul General in Surabaya, Heather Variava, visited USAID PRIORITAS partner schools in Makassar and Maros, South Sulawesi, to see the impact of the USAID PRIORITAS program following almost five years of working with local governments, TTIs, and schools. "It's wonderful to see how excited the children in these schools are about what they're learning, and how proud their teachers are to use the new skills they've learned! The many improvements at these schools, and our other USAID partner schools, show that implementing active learning and school-based management has created better quality education for thousands of students,” USAID Mission Director McKee said.

The Consul General and the Mission Director observed classes, talked to teachers and administrators, and met several members of the school committees who are actively involved in classroom support for teachers. “The communities around the schools are actively involved in classes to help teachers deliver better teaching. These schools have shown strong commitment to improving the quality of teaching, and their results demonstrate their success,” Consul General Variava said.

The American Consul General in Surabaya, Heather Variava, invites students

from MIN Maros Baru to do guided reading using leveled reading books.

USAID Indonesia Mission Director, Erin McKee, invites students at SDN Gunung Sari 1 Makassar to read together using a big book that makes students more enthusiastic about learning to read. She also watched a student teacher from the State University of Makassar engaging in teaching

practice in the classroom.

11.1 Project Coordination and Planning Meeting

A project planning and coordination meeting was held in Yogyakarta on February 7–9, 2017. Most staff who would be remaining with the project from March onwards attended the meeting. The USAID Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), the Vice President of the International Education section of RTI International, and the RTI Project Administrator also attended the meeting. The main business of the meeting included

• discussing and preparing for remaining project activities; and

• making preparations for project closeout.

A staff development session was also held to support staff in their search for future employment following the end of the project.

11.2 Project Closeout Preparation

Preparations for project closeout have already started, and by the end of quarter 20, the project staff will have been reduced by over 50% compared with the previous quarter, as detailed in the next section of this report.

A Project Closeout Plan was sent to USAID in February 2017, covering the technical and operational closeout of the project. Project activities are planned to end in May 2017, and all provincial project offices are planned to be closed by July 2017. The Jakarta office will close in September 2017.

A plan for disposal of project equipment and materials in Papua, West Papua, and Bali (Yayasan Literasi Anak Indonesia – YLAI) was submitted to USAID and approved in February 2017. The equipment and materials have already been disposed of to the approved recipients.

The project is currently working on a disposal plan for equipment and materials in the other seven project provinces and Jakarta. This plan is expected to be submitted for approval to USAID in early April 2017.

A meeting with the provincial coordinator and office managers from the seven remaining project provinces will be held on April 5–6, 2017, to discuss further the technical and operational closeout of the project.

11.3 Project Staffing

USAID PRIORITAS has released 168 staff, transferred two staff in the period January to March 2017, and hired one person on a short term technical assistance (STTA) contract. One staff member passed away in January 2017. Staff exit processes have proceeded smoothly and severance pay has been paid, based on government regulation, to those staff entitled to it.

To prepare the staff after finishing their work with USAID PRIORITAS, the HR team conducted CV writing and interview training for all current USAID PRIORITAS staff during the national staff meeting at Yogyakarta in February.

kesempatan ini, Kabid Dikdas berkomitmen untuk terus melanjutkan program PRIORITAS di Kota Cimahi.

Sosialisasi Sekolah Model LPMP – USAID PRIORITAS Jawa Barat diundang oleh LPMP Provinsi Jawa Barat untuk mengikuti kegiatan ini yang dilaksanakan pada tanggal 16-18 Maret 2017 bertempat di LPMP Provinsi Jawa Barat. Peserta berjumlah 92 orang yang terdiri dari unsur dinas pendidikan se-Jawa Barat (Kabid SD/SMP, Kasi Kurikulum/Kelembagaan, Pengawas), Pengawas Balai (SMA/SMK), USAID PRIORITAS, GIZ, STKIP, dan UPI. Beberapa hal yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan ini adalah (1) LPMP hanya menyentuh penjaminan 8 standar, tidak masuk pada tataran teknis (penyediaan modul-modul pelatihan) sehingga memberikan kebebasan bagi fasda di daerah untuk mengambil materi dari sumber manapun termasuk materi-materi USAID PRIORITAS; (2) LPMP tidak menentukan instrumen Monev khusus sehingga sekolah dan fasilitator dapat mengembangkan instrumen sendiri termasuk instrumen PRIORITAS.
