Presentation OutlineA description of the activity Achievements

Key lessons learntSlide3

A description of the ActivityIt’s a program & policy of scaling up Life Skill based

ASRH in Swazi Secondary Schools through a structured process of a curriculum.Aims

at helping learners at secondary school level of education to gain comprehensive knowledge and life skills in order to create

behaviour

change to better deal with everyday challenges including HIV

The LSE based

ASRH sessions

are highly interactive

.

The teacher is a facilitator allowing horizontal and vertical

interactions guided by lesson plan.Slide4

Description continuedIt is an innovation that does not closely follow the usual way of implementing a new curriculum. This was necessitated by the emergency situation imposed by the HIV pandemic.

The piloting of a subject in school is usually done in stages (one class per year) & the piloting of the LSE curriculum is being done at the same time for all five levels and the roll out to 100 secondary schools in the country will be done in 2015. Subject

in schools are designed and delivered to learners according to the levels. Slide5

AchievementsMeeting for senior management that resulted in further commitment for the strengthening of LSE/CSE & ASRHRThe creation of the LSE subject panel

The creation of technical working groups that worked diligently on developing the LSE syllabus and teachers handbook. Capacity building of curriculum designers on developing age appropriate, relevant and culturally sensitive CSE curriculum and scripted lesson plans following the international guidelinesSlide6

AchievementsPiloting of LSE/CSE & ASRHR in 25 Swazi Secondary schools. Pilot and evaluation report to inform scaling up

The presentation and approval of the handbook by panel & CCC ( to be presented on Nov 27)The development of Cabinet P

aper that will demonstrate country’s commitment to the ESA CSE Ministerial Commitment

Establishment of the CSE/ASRHR TWG-

multisectoral

and has UN family members, NGOsSlide7

ChallengesTraining alone is not enough and requires further coaching and ongoing mentoring and support for successThere is no implementation framework for the Education Sector PolicyCSE & ASRHR seen as subordinate to more ‘cognitive’ subjectsSlide8

Challenges cont…..Teacher and curriculum overloadClass sizeReduction in educational funding translates into difficulty in securing resources to establish curricula, train teachers and provide materialsWeak systems for monitoring and evaluation/supervision

Teacher competence in delivery of subject matter and comfort levelSlide9

Opportunities/Emerging IssuesThere is a education sector policy which calls for action around these issuesThere is an opportunity to measure these interventions as we have an EMIS unit that is ready to incorporate these issues.

This activity, while it maybe placed under one CSTL pillar but it has components that address more than one CSTL pillar.Slide10

Key Lessons LearntConsiderations of local settings is important and using positive social norms to push the agenda

Involvement of parents through dialogues can ensure effective implementation.

Effective

training first has to have an impact on the teachers themselves, helping them examine their own attitudes toward sexuality, gender and behaviours regarding HIV prevention, understand the content they are teaching, learn participatory teaching

skillsSlide11

Key Lessons LearntLSE based ASRH curriculum needs the support of national ministries, school management, and local communities

Choose an intervention/approach that can be scaled up within existing systemsClarify the aims of scaling up and the roles of different players and ensure local/national ownership/lead roleDisseminate data on the effectiveness of pilot programmes before scaling upSlide12
