RED 1

Mr. Bakary Ceesay

Regional education directorates will continue to be headed by regional directors. They will be engaged in education policy dialogue and take full responsibility for the planning and implementation of educational programmes in the regions. The directors at this level will, in the interim, be answerable to the Permanent Secretary pending the handover of the education service to the local government authorities. Given the anticipated responsibilities of the regional directorates in relation to the decentralisation 34 process, the directorates will continue to be strengthened within the context of government’s decentralisation programme and will become absorbed into the local government structure at the divisional levels. The role of the MoBSE Headquarters will become largely to monitor and evaluate policy implementation across the system in the regions for quality assurance.
