MONITORING AND EVALUATION<br />
Gedaid foundation develops monitoring and evaluation indicators using findings from the baseline survey and this use it to track the impact of the reading project on the children and teachers. All the individual school children who cannot read and those with special needs in reading are documented. Teachers skills on teaching reading are assessed prior to training. We also undertake post training assessment of the teachers. Our success are measured against the indicators we develop from the field before the project. For every school term, the monitoring and evaluation officer produces a report which are discussed with the officers of the selected schools and our partners.<br />
