The vision of STEPS II has been articulated very clearly by the Egyptian Ministry of Education (MOE). STEPS II will support the MOE in achieving comprehensive quality education in Egypt. STEPS II will support the efforts of the MOE by promoting school-based improvement through all its activities. It will use the school as the unit of change. The success of STEPS II will ultimately be measured on the basis of how it has contributed to the MOE's vision of improved schools as expressed in the national standards. The overall approach of STEPS II is comprehensive and systemic, linking interventions at the school to all levels of the education system. Local and national level primary education personnel are identifying mechanisms for mobilizing school leaders and communities around education reform. The anticipated result of STEPS II is an enhanced basic education system at the school, idara, moderaya and national levels that actively supports the implementation of the national standards.
