The firm fielded an evaluation team to assess the progress of the project in meeting its objectives to develop an effective university program for Mayan-speaking students.
The evaluation determined
- the extent to which the project was contributing to promoting a positive self-image among the indigenous students
- the degree to which the project was creating an attitude of mutual cultural enrichment among indigenous and non-indigenous students
- the success of the project in recruiting indigenous students, especially women
- the success of the project in meeting the career aspirations of the indigenous students
The team made recommendations for technical assistance needed to reinforce weak aspects.
