Tenders are invited for RTIA-W1/TCD / National Expert - Survey of Teachers on Their Perceptions, Motivations and Training Needs. Closing Date: 8 Oct 2025 Type: Consultancy RECRUITMENT OF NATIONAL EXPERTS - SCOPE OF THE MISSION Following the request for technical assistance sent by Chad to the RTIA in January 2025, two experts from the Facility went to NDjamena in April 2025 to co-develop the Country Action Plan (PAP) with representatives of the various departments of the Ministry of National Education and Civic Promotion (MENPC). At the end of this mission, the thematic areas and major activities were defined and confirmed: two actions concern the governance of the teaching profession (in the field of human resources) and one concerns continuing teacher training. The expert recruitment process begins directly after the validation of the PAP by the MENPC and the management of the Facility. 1.1 MAIN OBJECTIVES The proposed technical assistance program focuses on governance and the professional development of teachers, and aims to support the MENPC in its decentralization process (implementation of the 2024 organic law on the distribution of powers between the State and autonomous communities). Regarding continuing education, the decentralization process, with increased responsibility for Academies and Delegations, requires an update of the master plan for continuing education for teachers from preschool to secondary school, with particular attention paid to transitions between cycles. The TA, based on an inventory of continuing education and a survey on teachers perceptions, motivations and training needs, will propose an updated operating framework for continuing education, including a master plan and strategies for developing continuing education plans aimed at harmonizing planning processes in different provinces. The TA will thus contribute directly and indirectly to the following sectoral objectives and indicators of the PNET (Chad National Teaching Policy) 2024-2030: Strategic objective 2 : Improve the qualification and equitable management of teachers Expected effect 2 : continuing teacher training is strengthened and better structured IP 1: Percentage of teachers benefiting from continuing peer training (Educational Animation Sectors - SAP or Communities of Practice - CAP) IP2: Percentage of teachers benefiting from open distance learning (ODL) IP3: Percentage of teachers who have benefited from a visit for local supervision carried out by an educational supervisor over the last 12 months (Breakdown by gender) IP4: Proportion of teachers with the minimum qualifications required by level of study. Specific objectives This action constitutes the first step in the process of updating the master plan for continuing teacher training. A team of three experts will be recruited to conduct a survey of preschool, primary, middle, and secondary school teachers in three provinces of Chad. Each expert will work in one province. The survey will aim to better understand how teachers perceive their training opportunities (number, format, quality, relevance, etc.); the training needs they have identified; and their level of motivation to pursue training. The experts will work together on the methodology and tools used for the survey. They will then conduct the survey simultaneously in all three provinces. Each recruited expert will work in one province. 1.2 METHODOLOGY & GENERAL APPROACH The general approach and methodology described below are indicative and non-exclusive. Each expert will have to develop the methodology they intend to use in their application. General approach: The national expert will work closely with the relevant MENPC departments and services, both centrally and locally. Compliance with ethical rules during the collection of information is essential: written consent of participants, respect for confidentiality, integrity, moderation, fairness, rigor, and respect for dignity. Methodology: To carry out the inventory, the recruited expert must: Study the main political documents of the Chadian education system (in particular the sectoral strategy and the teaching policy. Participate in a scoping meeting with the MENPC focal points and the Facility. Following this meeting, the expert, together with the two other recruited experts, will propose a brief note describing the work to be carried out, including the methodology and an updated schedule taking into account the days of the field mission and the drafting of the report. This note will precisely describe the strategy that the expert intends to implement to collect the information, taking into account constraints related to distances and the security situation. Communicate with decentralized departments and provincial focal points to identify participants and obtain authorization to access educational establishments. Coordination : The three experts in charge of the investigation will have to develop the format of the report together, in order to guarantee the consistency of the approaches and the presentation of the contents . Throughout the inventory process, the expert is expected to have technical discussions with the Facility. The deliverables will be validated by the MENPC and the Facility. 1.3 STAKEHOLDERS The DFIC (Directorate of Initial and Continuing Education) and the MENPCs Primary and Secondary Education Directorates are the key partners to support the survey work. The Territorial Directorates and the Academies will be the stakeholders at the decentralized level. 1.4 MAIN DELIVERABLES The main deliverables for this expert work are as follows: Methodological note / inception report (no more than 2-3 pages) developed jointly by the three experts Development of tools based on the methodology envisaged (questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, FGD, etc.) Presentation of the first results of the survey (at the end of the field mission) to the MENPC (PowerPoint) Report on the results of the survey including: Teachers perceptions of their current training opportunities Motivating (or non-motivating) factors for training Obstacles encountered in training Training needs they identified Desired training formats (frequency, type, certification, etc.). The deliverables will be sent to the Facility and the MENPC for validation. PowerPoint presentations for the restitution of the initial results will also be shared. 2.
