Schools, colleges and training providers spend large budgets on teaching, yet many cannot show whether learners are gaining skills or whether a programme deserves renewed funding. Five days equip you to close that gap with a results system built around learning outcomes. You develop a theory of change and logical framework for an education intervention, choose indicators for enrolment, attendance, retention, completion and transition, and plan baseline, midline and endline studies. Learning assessment sessions cover reading and numeracy tools, classroom observation and tracer studies for vocational graduates.
You then design data collection in KoboToolbox, analyse results in Excel and apply the OECD-DAC criteria to judge relevance, effectiveness and sustainability. Reporting sessions turn findings into dashboards, learning briefs and donor reports that school boards, ministries and funders can act on. The programme suits M&E officers, education programme managers, teacher trainers, NGO staff, ministry planners and quality managers in training institutions. It runs as classroom sessions in major African cities, online or in-house, and closes with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can produce a costed M&E plan for an education or training programme.
Education investments in Africa are under pressure to prove results. Governments, development partners and private sponsors increasingly ask for evidence that children are learning and that trainees move into work, rather than counts of classrooms built or workshops held. Programmes without a credible monitoring and evaluation system struggle to defend their budgets, correct course early or learn from what works.
The Monitoring and Evaluation for Education and Training Programs Training Course walks participants through the whole results cycle for education settings. It starts with problem analysis, theories of change and logical frameworks, then moves to indicator selection, targets and baselines for access, quality, equity and learning. Participants plan data collection with sampling, questionnaires, classroom observation and learning assessments, then clean and analyse the data and interpret it honestly, including its limits. The programme closes with evaluation design, ethical practice with children and learners, and communication of findings to different audiences.
Every topic is practised on education cases such as a school feeding scheme, a teacher professional development programme and a youth skills initiative. Participants finish with a draft M&E plan and reporting template that they can take straight into their own organisations.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
