A. Scope and identify the status of available education data
B. Assess the available school education data across ministries/agencies
C. Develop contextual knowledge of data and evidence use practices
Location and Duration
· The indicative duration is expected to be 4 months - March to June 2023 or less.
· The assignment will be mostly completed at the contractor’s premises, and it is expected that the contractor is
based in Thailand. The contractor will be responsible for acquiring resources and facilities required for its completion, including any travel arrangements.
· The inception report should provide a clear rationale for online and in-person meetings for consultations to be organized at the national/regional/ or provincial when necessary. The cost of travels needs to be included in the proposal.
· If safety concerns are present due to COVID-19 restrictions, the FGDs and KII will be conducted virtually, and a contingency plan should be in place.
