There are three components to the project, the first component being expansion and rehabilitation of school infrastructure. This component consists of the following: i) expansion of the full-time school model through: (a) the construction, transformation and/or rehabilitation of approximately forty (40) schools located primarily in disadvantaged locations and selected in accordance with the criteria set forth in the operational manual; and (b) the acquisition of equipment and education materials for the full-time schools mentioned in (a) herein; and ii) carrying out of preventive and corrective maintenance activities in full-time schools. The second component is the strengthening of learning systems. This component will help achieve the Project Development Objective (PDO) through strengthening systems for improved learning and instruction, in the classroom and beyond. The establishment of a new entity within Preschool and Primary Education Council (CEIP) to provide systematic and permanent in-service teacher training to the entire teaching body in preschool and primary grades, as well as school directors and inspectors, will lead to a more efficient operation of teacher training by National Administration for Public Education (ANEP).

The project will reach approximately 10,000 direct beneficiaries, who reside mainly in marginal urban areas. The primary beneficiaries will be students, teachers and principals that are converted from existing Escuelas de Tiempo Completo (ETC), and the students and their families living in areas of high urbanization where new schools will be built. Adverse environmental effects of the Project, if any, will be minor and localized. The potential environmental impacts of the construction generally can be direct or indirect. While a direct impact may change the topography of the land for the implementation of a project, the indirect impacts are the changes that are induced into the environment, population, the use of land and environmental resources. Potential adverse impacts include: Air pollution, air emissions (eg. Dust, odors, toxic fumes) and increased noise; Soil contamination due to poor management of construction waste and effluents; Loss or alteration of soil chemical and physical characteristics, its use and generation of erosion of instability; Sedimentation of water surfaces; Contamination of water sources and surface. Mostrar menos -

La salvaguarda ambiental OP 4.01 incluía: i) construcción de escuelas nuevas; ii) construcción de aulas nuevas en las escuelas existentes, y iii) rehabilitación de salones de clases. Los riesgos primarios considerados en la Evaluación Ambiental, estaban asociados con el periodo de construcción e incluían: i) un incremento en la polución de aire y nivel de ruido; ii) disposición de los residuos de construcción; iii) interrupción potencial o limitación en los accesos a viviendas y negocios cercanos al lugar en donde se construían y/o rehabilitaran las escuelas; iv) incremento potencial de accidentes; y v) potenciales molestias durante la construcción (por ejemplo ruidos, polvo, residuos). Una evaluación de la implementación del Plan de Mitigación Ambiental en los sitios en donde las escuelas fueron construidas o renovadas ha mostrado que los impactos ambientales podían mitigarse y fueron mitigados a través de la ejecución apropiada y satisfactoria del PMA." Mostrar menos -
