PROJECT BENEFITS, IMPACTS AND RISKS

Project beneficiaries

189. Project beneficiaries can be categorized as those who stand to gain directly and immediately from the Project interventions, and those who benefit in a less direct, but nonetheless substantial, manner.

190. Direct beneficiaries. These include: (i) academic staff and management of the NIE and the 24 TTCs through activities under component 2; (ii) approximately 8,500 teacher trainees studying on pre-service teacher training programs over 5 years attending training courses at the TTCs through activities designed to improve preservice courses under component 2; (iii) approximately 14,400 current lower and upper secondary teachers benefiting from in-service training; (iv) 300 upper secondary schools benefiting from technical assistance in school management, school networking and school improvement planning; (v) staff of MOEYS including provincial and district offices teams trained to strengthen their capacity to plan, manage, administer, and regulate the system.

191. At the teacher training institutions (RTTC, PTTC) level (component 2), (i) 30 TTCs will have learning centers constructed or upgraded, have library books and learning center equipment; and (ii) 600 teacher trainees will benefit from accommodation in dormitories construction (1 block) and rehabilitation (6 blocks).

192. At the secondary school level (component 3), (i) 30 secondary schools will have learning centers constructed and equipped with learning resources and equipment; (ii) 4,000 disadvantaged students will receive scholarships to study at USS; (iii) 350,000 USS students will be provided with textbooks and approximately 7,000 USS teachers will be provided with teacher's guides.

193. Indirect benefits include: (i) management information systems will be more functional and internal system efficiency improved; (ii) students in lower secondary and upper secondary schools, both currently and in the future, will be taught by better trained and motivated teachers and hence lower repetition and dropout rates and will have more relevant and employable attitudes, skills and knowledge; (iii) employers and potential employers will have staff with more relevant and employable attitudes, skills and knowledge which will reduce the need for costly initial training of recruits and/or greater returns from what they undertake; (iv) higher education institutions will have better prepared applicants.

194. Benefits of the reforms and quality improvements in primary, lower secondary and upper secondary teacher training will also extend to a population of school students that is currently around 3.4 million.

Economic analysis

195. The Project will have substantial benefits for the education sector, particularly for secondary education subsector. Investments made under the Project have significant benefits to the community. Major economic benefits of the Project will include: (i) improved efficiency of infrastructure and personnel and in allocation of resources; (ii) enhanced secondary school graduates in terms of numbers and productivity. Specific economic benefits will include (i) improved system costeffectiveness by increasing capacity utilization of teacher training institutions, secondary schools, (ii) reducing the unit cost and strengthening the management in teacher training and secondary education; (iii) increase in the number of secondary school graduates who will participate in the labor market; (iv) raised academic standards of beneficiaries will help improve the alignment between graduate skills and the market; (v) increased earning capacity and spending ability of low-income groups which will help reduce poverty; and (vi) anticipated cumulative savings of about 0.5 percent of annual recurrent costs of secondary education. An economic analysis is attached as Appendix 21.

Sustainability

196. The Project will address financing issues. It has been designed so that recurrent costs will be minimized for the Government and community. The improvement of the quality support systems under the Project is intended to reduce wastage, improve the internal efficiency of secondary education and reduce the cost of producing a graduate in Cambodia, particularly in the disadvantaged areas and areas dominated by ethnic minority groups. The incremental recurrent project costs arise largely from increased access to secondary schooling through enhanced quality and relevance. The costs of construction of learning centers and dormitories at TTCs and secondary schools have been minimized by using efficient designs and maximizing the utilization of locally available resources and materials. Although new construction and renovation of TTCs and secondary school facilities are being financed, sustainability is being ensured by the Government and local community’s commitment to contribute to the cost of operation and maintenance (O&M).

197. Total incremental recurrent costs will be maintained at minimal levels after the Project implementation period and increases are contained through allocation of existing resources. The recurrent costs to be paid by the Government after the Project are estimated to be less than US$1.47 million per annum and include incremental staff remuneration, O&M of civil works and equipment, O&M of vehicles and PMU/TUs operations. With PMU/TUs operations being terminated after the Project comes to an end, the recurrent costs will be further reduced and the Project will be more affordable to the Government and local community in Cambodia. In this regard, risks that negatively affect sustainability of the Project outcomes and activities are considered minimal. A fiscal impact and sustainability analysis is included in Appendix 21.

Impact and risks

198. The targets and indicators included in the impact and outcome rows of the Design and Monitoring Framework summarize the anticipated impact the project at the macro-level of the project design (Appendix 1). There will be an improved transition and completion rates in upper secondary schools and a corresponding improved level of knowledge and skills of secondary school students by 2018. To achieve this impact the outputs will contribute to an outcome that will see: transition rates to upper secondary schools in remote areas rise; increased access of female trainees from rural areas/ethnic minorities to TTC increases; 14400 under-qualified secondary teachers trained; curriculum and assessment reforms successfully implemented; facilities in schools and TTCs upgraded and upper secondary students having subject textbooks according to the agreed ratio of 1:2.

199. The risks and assumption included in the impact and outcome rows of the Design and Monitoring Framework identify a number of conditions and threats to the implementation of the project. It is assumed that secondary education and equity is accorded a high priority by Government, MOEYS will provide the required level of inputs and resources and that capacity can be built to assist the education system in absorbing a wide-ranging reform process. However there are some risks: resource constraints may hinder implementation, teachers may be insufficiently motivated to implement reforms and access to education by females and people in remote areas may be constrained by traditional and cultural barriers.

6.0 SUMMARY

200. The first three sections of this report have set out the context of the proposed project, looking at the objectives of TA-4823, the national context and aspects of the education system. An account of the review of issues and opportunities followed which concluded that investment in a number of areas to support education system management, teacher professional development and strengthening secondary education was feasible. The proposed project has been described and summarized in a Design and Monitoring Framework which includes a summary of required inputs. Three special features are integrated into the three components: ICT, capacity building and broad interventions related to gender, poverty and ethnic minority representation. The sections on the project investment plan, the financing plan and project benefits supported by technical annexes describe the cost of the inputs in detail. Project benefits supported by an economic analysis, a sustainability section and a summary of the impacts and risks completes the feasibility report.
