INTRODUCTION Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport has reached the final phase of Education Strategic Plan (ESP) 2014- 2018, which is aligned with the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP), 2014-2018 of the Royal Government of the 5th Legislature of the National Assembly. Policies, strategies, programs and clusters of priority activities of MOEYS have been achieved to prepare for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. Monitoring and evaluation framework has defined responsibilities of the national and sub-national levels to efficiently monitor and evaluate sub-sectoral performance. Annual Education Congress has provided all stakeholders with the opportunities to review work progress and challenges and to set directions for the year ahead. Sub-sectoral achievements and implementation of Annual Operational Plans (AOP) 2017 have been validated to provide basis for the review and setting of activities and targets. Sub-sector progress and AOP 2017 progress reviews are incorporated into the Congress Report to serve as the basis for the review of activities and targets of key performance indicators. Education Congress Report reflects progress, challenges and overall recommendations for MOEYS as a whole and for the seven sub- sectors including early childhood education, primary education, secondary and technical education, higher education, non-formal education, youth development and physical education and sport. Outcomes of the Education Congress will be essential as the basis for the formulation of Budget Strategic Plan and Annual Operational Plan. Quality of Education Congress has also been enhanced through more simplified, analytical and result- oriented consolidated reporting approach. In 2016-2017, MOEYS made the following major achievements: 2. PROGRESS 2.1. OVERALL ACHIEVEMENTS OF EDUCATION, YOUTH AND SPORTS 2.1.1.
