Alert
Vacancy
Note: This is a consultancy assignment.
Background:
The Mission has been supporting development of inclusive schools in BiH, among others, through the implementation of the Index for Inclusion (IfI) with the ultimate aim of creation of schools which are acceptable and accessible to all. The IfI methodology has been accepted by education authorities as a tool for self-assessment and inclusive development of schools. As part of the Mission’s efforts to further promote inclusive school development planning, the 2019 Education Project foresees the application of the Guidelines for School Inclusivity Assessment, jointly developed by representatives from all MoEs and PIs, in selected administrative units. The aim of this initiative is to identify achieved inclusive changes at school level and further promote good practices. This process will imply the engagement of the responsible MoE and PI in terms of collecting and analysing of the feedback from schools in a form of a questionnaire provided as integral part of the Guidelines. In addition, each school is periodically conducting school self-assessment based on inputs received from students, parents, teachers and other representatives of the local community, as stipulated in the Index for Inclusion methodology. In order to do this in a participatory manner, the schools deliver questionnaires to as many as possible members of the aforementioned stakeholders to learn about their views. In order to assist schools in improving the current method of survey and data collection and analysis, the Mission plans to assist the relevant MoE and PI with providing additional skills and knowledge to perform the entire process in a more efficient and effective manner. This will be achieved by translating the questionnaires into online survey forms and providing one-day training in electronic survey and data collection tools to selected members from the MoE/PI and school development teams. Additional value of this initiative will be that the trainees will be able to use the improved skills in this field also for other future projects and initiatives. The Trainer shall report to the HDD Director through National Programme Officer, Education, and at the second instance to the National Chief, Education.
Objective:
The aim of the training will be to present free electronic online survey and data collection tools to the trainees and lead them through the process of their application in a manner adjusted to the relevant questionnaires. Taking into consideration the nature of the training, the Trainer will develop the structure of the training in co-operation with the National Programme Officers, Education. In addition, the Trainer will be asked to, prior to the training, get familiar with the basic concepts of inclusive school development planning and translate the six questionnaires into online survey forms, in cooperation with the National Programme Officers, Education. This will result in a ready-made survey tool for schools to apply during the self-assessment process, as well as when mapping concrete changes in school inclusivity. This initiative is meant to be piloted in West Herzegovina Canton, upon the request by the MoE, with possibility to be expanded to other administrative units as deemed appropriate. The planned event will take place on 25 April in Siroki Brijeg, with all preparatory work being completed on the previous day.
