The Unit plays an important role in facilitating and supporting continuous improvement in the Ministry of Education through Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The M&E Unit utilises the Results-Based Management (RBM) approach to M&E.
Monitoring is a systematic collection of data on specific indicators in order to ascertain the achievement of objectives and the appropriate use of financial resources, while Evaluation is an objective analysis of current or completed policies, programmes or projects, to determine their relevance, efficiency, outcomes and sustainability, based on reliable and credible information.
The Unit was established in 2013 and its main purpose is to assist in developing a sustainable monitoring and evaluation system that can provide a consistent flow of information on the progress and performance of the Ministry’s initiatives to inform policy development, review, budgeting and decision making.
