A major initiative for strengthening and assuring the quality of the education system is been conducted by the Quality Assurance Department (QAD). The main role of QAD is to monitor the quality of education and ensure that a higher standard of education system is developed and maintained across the Maldives.

Currently QAD is conducting School Reviews across the country to determine the areas of improvement and immediate attention. However there is no systemic mechanism by which these findings can be shared with the stakeholders and an annual analytical report needs to be developed on the findings of the School Reviews.

The EOI requested by Ministry’s Advertisement No. (IUL)461-AS/1/2017/15 dated 30^th August 2017 has been cancelled due to insufficient number of complete bids, thus, the Quality Assurance Department (QAD) re-invites eligible specialist/ local individual consultant for the development of an analytical report on the key findings of School Reports from 2016 and 2017.
