Title
Investigating the Activity Levels of School Quality Assurance Officers in Sierra Leone
Abstract
Since the launch of the Free Quality School Education (FQSE) Programme in 2018, the Sierra Leone Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE) has prioritised the use of data for decision-making across several education reform programmes. Part of this vision has been to build systems to measure school quality through School Quality Assurance Officers (SQAOs) using data collection and feedback. This system includes using tools for teacher management, lesson observations, school improvement, and attendance monitoring. This report presents findings from qualitative research conducted in three districts in Sierra Leone. The aim is to provide the MBSSE and other partners with insights to understand the variation in and what is needed to maximise SQAO activity levels, increase principal engagement with digital tools, and support and promote quality visits to schools.
