How can you make a difference?

UNICEF Uzbekistan, with the Ministry of Preschool and School Education (MOPSE), has renovated fifty (50) model schools and equipped them with ICT equipment, STEM kits, furniture, solar panel systems and inclusive learning and assistive devices under the ISHONCH 2030 Project (Vision 2030 - Empowering Education in Uzbekistan: Leveraging ICT and Digital Learning for High-Quality and Inclusive Education). The accessibility standards applied in the schools have been incorporated into the national building norm ShNK 2.07.02-24, providing a model for wider replication across the education system.

The purpose of this assignment is to assess and document the post-handover functionality, utilization, accessibility, and sustainability of the investments made under the ISHONCH 2030 Project. Through the specified deliverables, the consultant will examine whether the supplied equipment is operational and effectively used for teaching and learning; whether accessibility features and inclusive infrastructure remain functional, maintained, and accessible to learners; whether outstanding issues related to contractors and suppliers have been resolved; and what institutional, technical, and financial measures are required for MOPSE to sustain, replicate, and scale the model schools approach. The assignment will also generate technical recommendations and supply-related inputs to inform future education sector procurement, concept notes, and project proposals aimed at expanding equitable, inclusive, and technology-enabled learning environments in Uzbekistan
