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 jointly accomplish major tasks through eight-point reform measures introduced in 2014 and the progress of the fifteen-point reform from 2015 to 2018, as manifested through more hard work and better performance of students and teachers. Results of the sub-sector progress and AOP 2018 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 for the formulation of the 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 2017-2018, MoEYS made the following major achievements: 2. PROGRESS 2.1. OVERALL ACHIEVEMENTS OF EDUCATION, YOUTH AND SPORTS 2.1.1. PROGRESS OF JOINT MONITORING INDICATORS MoEYS has achieved policies, strategies, programs, and clusters of priority activities through the following Joint Monitoring Indicators: Table 1: Progress of Joint Monitoring Indicators Results Actual Actual Target Actual Status 2017-2018 Result Indicators 2015-16 2017-18 2018-19 2018-19 Outcome 2014-2018: Completion rate in basic education is increased along with improved learning outcomes 1.

Enrolment in lower 2.1. Gross enrolment rate in secondary education lower secondary education is 53.8% 59.2% 54.6% 59.1% is increased, while increased from 53.8% in 2015- dropout is reduced. 16 to 54.6% in 2017-18 2.2. Dropout rate is decreased 19.2% 15.4% 17.5% 15.8% from 19.2% 2014-15 to 17.5% in 2016-17 (2014-15) (2016-17) (2016-17) (2017-18) Note: Achieved Likely to Achieve Unlikely to Achieve Table 1 presents the following positive trends: (1) Primary promotion rate is increasing; (2) Lower secondary gross enrolment rate is significantly increasing; and (3) Lower secondary dropout rate is decreasing. Primary promotion rate has risen steadily from 87% in 2015-2016 to 89.4% in 2018-2019. Reforms of early grade reading and math have driven a significant increase of promotion rate between 2015-2016 and 2018- 2019: From 83.5% to 85.3%, from 87.1% to 88.6% and from 87.0% to 89.7% for grade 1, grade 2 and 3 respectively. 1 Unofficial Translation Enrolment rate in lower secondary education has increased from 57.6% in 2016-2017 to 59.1% in 2018- 2019. These results are attributed to: 1) Increase of education facilities in terms of quantity and quality; 2) Reinforcement of early grade reading and math in primary education; 3) Provision of scholarship to poor students in primary and secondary education; 4) Implementation of dropout prevention program; 5) Inspection reinforcement; 6) Implementation of Teacher Policy Action Plan. 2.1.2 PROGRESS OF CORE BREAKTHROUGH INDICATORS MoEYS has achieved policies, strategies, programs, and clusters of priority activities through the following Core Breakthrough Indicators: Table 2: Progress of Core Breakthrough Indicators Status Target Actual Target Core Breakthrough Indicators 2017-18 2018-19 2018-19 2019-20 Policy Area 1: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all 1.
