Expression Of Interest - Literacy Consultant

Program Background

Education Quality for Inclusive Prosperity (EQUIP) is a critical component of Australia’s strategic partnership with the Philippines. It builds on over 30 years of investment by the Government of Australia into the Philippines’ education sector and supports the Philippine government’s commitment to improve the global competitiveness of the Philippine education and labour market. EQUIP reflects the collective interest of Australia and the Philippines to foster a robust and adaptive education system where learners and graduates can thrive in an increasingly digitalised economy.

EQUIP aims to support the Philippines’ inclusive economic growth ambitions by ensuring the labour force is well equipped with skills relevant to meet the needs of the country’s rapidly transforming economy. EQUIP aims to promote skills development in senior high school and enable a smooth transition to the labour force, whether immediately upon leaving school or after further education. It will also support Philippine Government agencies improve its policies and practices to support relevant skills pathways for senior secondary school learners.

The Role

The EQUIP Program seeks to strengthen foundational learning among learners in Grade 9 to Grade 12 by improving literacy, numeracy, 21st century skills, career guidance, and school-to-work transitions.

Baseline data from the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI), classroom assessments, and other learner performance data indicate that many learners continue to experience challenges in reading comprehension, functional literacy, and language proficiency, affecting their success across learning areas and their readiness for higher education, training, and employment.

To support pilot schools, the Program will engage a pool of Literacy Consultants to contribute to the design and to deliver a comprehensive teacher professional development program and provide technical assistance in developing and implementing school-based literacy interventions.

In collaboration with the Program technical team, the Literacy consultant will provide technical inputs and expertise in the design, development, and implementation of evidence-based intervention strategies, resources, tools, and capacity-building program for teachers aimed at strengthening the literacy competencies among Grades 9-12 learners and supporting the effective literacy interventions in EQUIP pilot schools.
