The Ministry of Education; Science and Technology (MoEST); through the School Education Sector Plan (SESP) 2022/23¨C2031/32; has prioritized foundational learning and recovery from learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the SESP; to mitigate the learning loss resulting from COVID-19 and to institutionalize best practices for recovery and accelerated learning in schools; MoEST developed and approved the Recovery and Accelerated Learning (ReAL) plan (2023-2028). The ReAL Plan was prepared with numerous rounds of consultations/discussions and sharing with various stakeholders; including Center for Education and Human Resource Development (CEHRD); Curriculum Development Center (CDC); Education Review Office (ERO); representatives from NARMIN; MUAN; Local Governments; provincial governments; provincial education training centers; Local Education Development Partner Group. The ReAL Plan is accompanied by its standard operating procedures and guideline (SOPG) to guide and suport all 753 Local Governments (LGs) and schools implement learning recovery activities. Regular budget is also provisied by CERHD for its implementation in all 753 LGs.[1] In addition to the regular budget for all 753 LGs; intensive support is provided to 250 select LGs[2]; with an objective of implementing a more focused and intensive program and activities. By FY 2024/25; third year of SESP; intensive recovery acitvities have been implemented in 250 LGs including diagnostic assessments; targeted interventions; and end-line assessments to address learning loss.This evaluation will assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the ReAL plan in improving student learning outcomes and identify areas for improvement and synergy.2. Objective To assess the effectiveness; relevance; and implementation fidelity of the ReAL Plan in addressing recovery from learning loss and improving foundational learning outcomes; and to provide practical actionable recommendations for enhancing its impact and integration.
