Presentation

Evaluation of the Incremental Places Determination System for Regular Basic Education implemented by the Expenditure Quality Improvement Circle of the Ministry of Education (MINEDU) Budget Unit, as a response to the concern of ensuring availability of teachers according to the Peruvian educational system priorities.  This system aims at providing new job openings in schools (whether for increasing coverage, due to excessive teaching load or to meet specialties requirements) though rationalizing the use of human and financial resources in terms of personnel hiring.

The evaluation seeks to answer two types of questions. First, it will try to analyze the system results, if there is really the need to increase openings, if this need is being covered, if these jobs are being properly distributed according to MINEDU criteria, etc. Second, regarding processes, if activities are devoted to complying with optimizing the use of resources, if the relations between actors are adequate, if there are any concerns along the process, etc.
