The nature of progress I Mixed improvements in international test scores Significant increases in lower secondary enrolment and completion Improving socio-economic position Considerable commitment to education and quality reforms developmentprogress.org @dev_progress
The nature of progress II developmentprogress.org @dev_progress
The nature of progress III developmentprogress.org @dev_progress
The nature of progress IV developmentprogress.org @dev_progress
Drivers of progress I Strengthening the teaching force Curriculum and pedagogy reforms Supporting decentralisation and school-based management Increased budget and targeted support to address inequities developmentprogress.org @dev_progress Flickr photo/World Bank Photo Collection
Drivers of progress II: Increased budget developmentprogress.org @dev_progress
Challenges I Equity and low absolute learning levels Financial sustainability and cost-effectiveness Education to employment transition Early childhood care and education developmentprogress.org @dev_progress Flickr photo/World Bank Photo Collection
Challenges II: Equity developmentprogress.org @dev_progress
Challenges III: Absolute learning outcomes PISA Benchmarks 25% Mathematics 50% Reading 40% Science developmentprogress.org @dev_progress
Challenges IV: Financial sustainability 9% of the total education budget spent on teacher certification and allowances 50% of BSM benefits go to those in the richest 60% developmentprogress.org @dev_progress Flickr photo/World Bank Photo Collection
Conclusions Prioritising teacher upgrading alongside curriculum and pedagogy reforms are key strategies for improving teaching quality and student learning Decentralizing power to local governments, school administrators, and parents has important potential to build local involvement and support for improving education outcomes. Strong high-level commitments to prioritize education, supported by large spending increases, can open space for reforms – but increased funds alone are unlikely to automatically translate into gains in education quality. developmentprogress.org @dev_progress UN photo/Gonzalez Farran
