Budget support will give the EU an entry point for dialogue, to contribute to payroll management and related teacher management reforms across the sector, including for secondary education. The Action will accompany teacher management reforms, incentivising the recruitment and deployment of qualified teachers, especially female teachers, in subjects that are currently under-staffed, for schools which lack qualified teachers.
