Abstract

Monitoring and evaluation is increasingly becoming an important tool in programme management in the school system. It tracks not only what is being done in a programme but also brings to light whether the programme is making a difference or not. Using data from monitoring and evaluation activities keeps the school system better positioned to appreciate the impact, efficiency and quality of school programmes and the need for future improvements. Through regular monitoring and evaluation visits data are generated to guide, predict and compare outputs with inputs in order to assess the worth of the school programmes or projects. This article looked at the concepts of monitoring and evaluation, data and data management, quality assurance, and the strategies for monitoring and evaluation of school-based data for school use towards quality assurance in the school system.
