Support for Malawi’s National Maths Curriculum Reform

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) anticipates running a competitive procurement for a programme to continue our support for Malawi’s National Maths Curriculum Reform. The UK has supported the Government of Malawi over the last five years to develop a new maths curriculum that can be implemented through a structured pedagogy approach that uses workbooks to guide lessons. This is now being rolled out at national scale in every primary school in Malawi alongside reforms supported by other development partners which all aim to tackle the crisis in foundational learning. FCDO anticipates continuing our support to complete the scale-up of this reform across the first four grades of primary school and embedding the change in how maths is taught over the next five years, as well as Technical Assistance to support foundational learning systems strengthening reforms under Ministry of Education leadership. This is component 1 of a new Education Business Case called “Maziko A Maphunziro”
