USAID/Honduras’s education activities emphasize the institutionalization of academic standards, standardized testing, and improved instruction in early-grade reading and writing. Other activities (1) support an alternative education system that enrolls out-of-school youth and adults and (2) assist the Honduran Government in drafting a new law that introduces important education reforms and increases accountability in the education sector. Funding for FY 2007 and 2008 totaled approximately $13.8 million.

This audit will determine whether USAID/Honduras’s educational activities succeeded in improving primary school education, helping out-of-school youths and adults further their education, and assisting the Honduran Government with its education reforms. It will also determine whether USAID/Honduras’s reporting on its education activities provided stakeholders with complete and accurate information on the progress of the activities and the results achieved.
