44000-P180688 World Bank <narrative xml:lang="EN">Strengthening the Resilience of Ecuadorian Schools Project</narrative> The objective of the Project is to improve the learning conditions and increase the resilience of the Ecuadorian education system. The proposed Project seeks to strengthen the safety, resilience, and quality of school infrastructure across education levels to address Ecuador's high vulnerability to climate risks, as well as to make it inclusive, climate and seismic resilient, energy-efficient, healthy, and learning-centered. It will also support activities to boost students readiness for learning through teacher training on pedagogical models and competency-based curricula in ECE and their implementation, as well as improvements of the structural quality, equipment, and resources in ECE classrooms. To further support student readiness, it will support the creation of library networks for basic education in marginalized rural areas, and complementary technical activities to assess and inform the implementation of activities to equip ECE and basic education students to learn. To ensure that these interventions are adequately implemented, the Project will also support project management activities. In line with Ecuador's high vulnerability to climate-induced risks, a Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) will also be included to allow for rapid reallocation of project funds in the event of an eligible natural disaster or crisis.
