The Sierra Leone Secondary Education Improvement Programme II (SSEIP II) is a five-year programme funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to support the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE) to improve learning outcomes for students at secondary level and to increase the enrolment, retention and well-being of girls and children with disabilities in school. Part of the programme includes exploring the use of different digital tools for School Quality Assurance Officers (SQAOs), including tools for remote visits. In December 2022, the EdTech Hub collaborated with the Government of Sierra Leone and implementing partners of the Leh Wi Lan programme (continued under SSEIP II) to better understand what factors affect the variability in the activity levels of SQAOs and the level of engagement with digital tools by school principals. Based on the findings of this research, the SSEIP II project will look at supporting the MBSSE to formalise remote supervision options for the SQAOs, particularly for those with remote clusters. As part of this work, this report focuses on recommendations for how SQAOs can conduct remote school visits, particularly for schools in hard-to-reach areas.An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org/
