  7. Policy An explicit or implicit decision which may set out directives for guiding future decisions, initiate or retard action, or guide implementation of previous decisions Strategy Multi-Program or Plan Program or Project Issue or Task

  8. Steps to Policy Making • Formulate Policy • Assess Alternatives (Ex-Ante) • Make the Decision • Implement • Evaluate Impact • Make Adjustments • New Policy Cycle

  9. Implementation Trumps Outcomes

  10. The Eightfold Path • Define the Problem • Assemble some Evidence • Construct the Alternatives • Select the Criteria • Project the Outcomes • Confront the Tradeoffs • Decide • Tell your Story

  11. DFID Strategy 2010-2015 • We will focus on a clear and simple vision: quality basic education for all. This strategy outlines three strategic • priorities that will help us realise this vision: • (1) access to a basic cycle of primary and lower secondary education, particularly in fragile and conflict affected states; • (2) quality of teaching and learning, particularly for basic literacy and numeracy; • (3) skills so that young people benefit from opportunities, jobs and growth.

  12. Rationale for education • Why? • What are the needs? • Why should they be addressed? • What are the obstacles/barriers?

  13. Small group discussion • In small groups discuss the particular strategies proposed to enhance access. • What is being proposed? • How coherent is it with the diagnosis of needs? • Can you evaluate the recommendations in terms of effectiveness, costs and feasibility of implementation for a particular country?

  14. Why is Research not Used? • Characteristics of Education Research that influence use • Characteristics of Policy Formation that influence demand for research • Context and Politics of the situation
