Job Profile

SESIL (Strengthening Education Systems for Improved Learning), is a four-year education programme designed to improve the quality and equity of measurable learning outcomes at lower primary level in Uganda.

SESIL will do this by strengthening the systems needed to manage and raise the performance of four key drivers of learning outcomes: teachers, schools, districts, and assessment and examinations.

Working with the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES), with funding provided by the UKs Department of International Development, and manged by Cambridge Education, SESIL will support the realisation of two of the MoES’ three strategic objectives as outlined in its Education Sector Plan (ESSP) 2017/18 – 2019/20, specifically:

Strategic Objective 2:

Enhanced quality and relevant education and training

Strategic Objective 3:

Efficient and effective delivery of education and sports.

Expected results are:

An increase in proficiency in literacy and numeracy scores at primary grade 3 level

An increase in the number of girls and boys completing the first four grades of primary school.

The programme will work with and through the MoES, other central agencies, and with local governments in around 20 districts in West Nile and in the Eastern Region of Uganda.

Initially SESIL will work in five districts in each region, increasing to ten (or more) in the second year.

Managing for results (M4R), lies at the heart of SESIL’s approach.
M4R involves working with stakeholders across the education system to identify and understand what currently prevents elements within the system from working efficiently.
And, once identified, to come up with solutions to address these inefficiencies.

SESIL will deliver a range of interventions to support districts to improve learning for all children through better managing for results.

The interventions are made up of inter-connected and mutually dependent activities which, in combination, will strengthen district education systems in a lasting and sustainable way.

The main areas of development will involve four main groups of stakeholders: district managers, school leaders and teachers, as well as parents and communities
