Pre-Service Teacher Education in Jordan (PRESTIJ))

The US Agency for International Development Jordan is seeking proposals for a five-year Pre-Service Teacher Education in Jordan contract to support increasing the sustainable supply of certified Grade 4-10 teachers. Offerors must propose interventions at four universities to expand pre-service teacher education using modules from the Queen Rania Teacher Academy. Evaluation will consider an offeror's capability to develop a teacher supply and demand model, conduct nationwide marketing campaigns, and provide technical assistance to universities. Proposals are due by July 18, 2019.

There is no set-aside designation. The contract aims to increase the number of quality teachers through implementing pre-service teacher education modules over five years with a total estimated cost range of $15-20 million to be performed in Jordan. Key deliverables include sustainability roadmaps for each university and the Jordanian government.
