Abstract

This is a performance evaluation of the three-year (June 2009-July 2012) $5.7 million Georgia Education Management Project (EMP). The purpose of evaluation is: (1) to examine whether the EMP project was effective in achieving its results in terms of introducing the new formula for school financing, developing the Education Management Information System (EMIS) for the Ministry of Education and Science (MES); and (2) establishing the first Master of Education (M.Ed.) program in a Georgian university. The evaluation should look at what changes were brought by the project's results for the target institutions (schools, the MES, etc.); whether the project has affected behavior of policy makers (in terms of using the EMIS data) and master's program graduates and project trainees (in terms of using the skills and knowledge obtained.)
