Numeracy and Learning Institution or Organisation

Education Quality for Inclusive Prosperity (EQUIP) The 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 senio r 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.

Background

A significant proportion of learners in Grades 9 –12 continue to experience difficulties in meeting expected proficiency levels in numeracy. Gaps in foundational and functional numeracy can affect learners’ ability to engage successfully with the secondary curriculum, apply mathematical concepts in real-world situations, and transition effectively to higher education, technical and vocational training, and employment.

Strengthening numeracy at the secondary level is therefore critical not only to improving academic achievement, but also to developing learners’ capacity to solve problems, interpret and use information, make informed decisions, manage every day and workplace situations, and participate meaningfully in further education, training, employment, and lifelong learning.

In response to this need, the EQUIP Program seeks to strengthen the foundational and 21st century skills of learners in Grades 9 –12 through evidence -based, learner-centred, and context -responsive approaches. EQUIP is therefore seeking an experienced Philippine-based institution/organisation with demonstrated expertise in numeracy education, mathematics education, curriculum development, teacher professional development, and school -based instructional support to provide technical assistance in the design, development, and implementation of numeracy interventions in selected EQUIP pilot schools.

Objective of the Engagement

The overall objective of the consultancy is to support EQUIP in designing and implementing an evidence-based Numeracy Skills Development Package for Grades 9 –12, with emphasis on

DT GLOBAL | www.dt-global.com strengthening functional numeracy, improving classroom practice, and building the capacity of teachers and schools to identify and address learner numeracy needs.

Specifically, the institutional partner will:

• strengthen teachers’ knowledge and pedagogical practices for teaching and developing

numeracy across learning areas;

• support schools in using available learner assessment data to identify numeracy needs and

target appropriate interventions;

• develop practical, differentiated, and context -responsive numeracy intervention resources for

Grades 9–12 learners;

• promote the integration and application of numeracy in authentic academic, everyday-life, and

workplace contexts;

• provide school-based technical assistance, coaching, and implementation support; and
• contribute to the generation of evidence and lessons to inform refinement, replication, and

potential scale-up of effective numeracy interventions.

Scope of Services

In collaboration with the EQUIP technical team, the selected institution /organisation will provide technical expertise in the design, development, capacity building, implementation support, monitoring, and documentation of evidence-based numeracy interventions for Grades 9–12 learners.

The engagement is expected to cover the following areas:

A. Professional Development, Training Design and Capacity Building In close collaboration with EQUIP’s Australian technical partner, the institution shall:

• implement the design of a professional development framework for strengthening numeracy

instruction and intervention;

• develop a comprehensive teacher training package, including training curriculum, facilitator’s

guide, participant materials, presentation decks, workshop activities, practice-based exercises, and implementation resources;

• incorporate evidence-based approaches to numeracy instruction and assessment;
• facilitate participatory teacher training, workshops, learning sessions, and other professional

development activities;

• provide technical support to teachers in adapting numeracy strategies and resources to

different learning areas and learner needs; and

• provide post-training technical support to reinforce application and sustained use of the

approaches

B. Development of Numeracy Intervention Resources

The institution shall develop practical and adaptable resources for the Numeracy Intervention

Toolkit, including:

• practical strategies for developing functional numeracy in academic, everyday-life, and

workplace contexts;

• differentiated lesson and activity exemplars;
• learner intervention and practice materials;
• formative and diagnostic assessment tools;
• learner progress monitoring tools;
• teacher guides and instructional resources;
• school-level implementation and intervention planning guides; and
• other resources identified through consultation with EQUIP and partner schools.
