The purpose of this stream is to develop/utilise tools, instruments, and processes that feed into sector-wide data gathering, monitoring and evaluation, as well as to build the capacity of TICZA members with regard to monitoring and evaluation. This stream will also demonstrate an economic case for extended teacher internships, taking into account both quantitative (e.g., graduation, placement, retention/promotion rates in the teaching profession) and qualitative (e.g., attitudes and values that advance the teaching profession) benefits of extended teacher internships.
