In collaboration with the Partnership for Educational Revitalization in the Americas (PREAL) a consortium of organizations including the Center for Research in Education and Human Development (CIEDHUMANO) of the Pontifical Catholic University (PUCMM), the Faculty for Latin American Social Sciences (FLACSO-DR), and Action for Basic Education (EDUCA) developed an initiative to help improve ongoing efforts of education decentralization and school management in the Dominican Republic. PREAL and its partners implemented the “Quality School Management Model in the Dominican Republic” project from 2008 to 2010, which focused on training school leaders to be effective protagonists in the process of improving the quality of education in their own schools and districts, and aligning these efforts with national policy and initiatives.
