Archando-Callao, Rodrigo S. | Faiz, Asif
The overall objective of the project is to support technology development for industrialization through increasing the supply of well-trained science and technology (S&T) manpower. To address the main issues in engineering and science education, the project's specific objectives are to : a) improve institutional mechanisms and criteria for funding and monitoring engineering and science education; b) strengthen colleges of engineering and science; c) improve science and math instruction in secondary schools; and d) increase institutional capacities to plan and coordinate S&T manpower development programs. The project will have a policy action plan and six investment components : 1) engineering education including funds for faculty development and initial costs for university-industry linkages; 2) science education and research including funds for expert services and laboratory equipment; 3) management of technology including funding for books and journals; 4) library networks which will include renovation and expansion of current facilities; 5) secondary school science and math in-service teacher training; and 6) S&T manpower planning and monitoring.
