This document proposes a new system to enhance the quality of primary education in India. It discusses issues with the current system like low reading levels and performance differences between private and public schools. The new system establishes Regional Awareness Committees and Checking Committees at the village, block and district levels. Volunteers will collect data which is analyzed in reports to the higher committees to identify issues and solutions to improve education quality, access, and learning outcomes in primary schools. The system aims to increase awareness, accountability and reduce teacher workload through community involvement.

IIEP-UNESCO Strategic Debate: the impact of inequalities on learning achievementIIEP-UNESCO
Towards progressive universalism: the impact of inequalities on learning achievement.
IIEP Strategic Debate - May 2017
Speaker: Pauline Rose, Director, Research for Equitable Access and Learning (REAL) Centre, University of Cambridge
Moderator: Suzanne Grant Lewis (Director IIEP)
Drawing on analysis of available large-scale datasets, this session will show how inequalities in learning between the rich and poor and, amongst the poor by gender, widen substantially over the primary school cycle. It will also identify that children with disabilities are most likely to be left behind. The evidence further demonstrates that access to higher education for children from poor households is strongly dependent on their learning in the early years. Analysis will be presented showing that, where children from poor backgrounds have the same opportunities as those from rich backgrounds, learning gaps narrow significantly. It will further identify the importance of changing the way in which public resources are allocated, to achieve ‘progressive universalism’. The Debate will conclude by identifying ways in which data collection could be improved in resource-poor environments to enable better monitoring of education SDGs related to learning, with a focus on tracking progress for the most disadvantaged groups.

Moving Toward Sustainability: Kansas City Teacher ResidencyJeremy Knight
Kansas City Teacher Residency (KCTR) is a teacher residency program that recruits, certifies, and develops teachers in the Kansas city region. Launched in 2016, by Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, KCTR has established a high-quality and diverse teacher preparatory program for Kansas City. In late 2018, Bellwether partnered with KCTR and Kauffman Foundation to redesign KCTR's program model to bring it in line with peer benchmarks and ensure long-term impact and sustainability. Over six months, Bellwether, in collaboration with KCTR's senior leadership team, Board, and key advisers, developed and began to implement a plan to put KCTR on a path to organizational and financial sustainability (initial changes significantly reduced the ongoing fundraising need). Key priorities identified in the plan included strengthening partnerships (with schools and university), optimizing KCTR expenditures, exploring new earned-revenue opportunities, and gradually growing the number of residents to full-scale. With the new plan, KCTR is prepared to continue the growth of impact while doing so in a sustainable manner, to ultimately fuel Kansas City with passionate, effective, and diverse educators.
In October 2012, School Improvement Network surveyed educators from across the nation to find out the use and effects of technology in classrooms. 6,929 educators from all 50 states shared how technology is being used in their classroom and how it’s affecting students. Among the findings, 48% of educators say they allow students to bring and use technology devices in their classroom, and 80% of educators believe technology in the classroom increases student performance. One in 3 educators email students as part of their learning platform, and of those, 75% say it affects their homework return rate.
We conducted a survey in March 2013 to find out how schools and districts were affected by school closures and budget shortfalls.

Local school board members are a key link between school districts and communities. They represent public concerns around testing and can hold district officials accountable. Given the critical role that local school boards play, Achieve and the National School Boards Association have developed “Assessment 101” resources for school board members. This professional development module is designed to:
· outline the critical role school boards play in supporting high quality assessment systems;
· introduce school board members to key assessment concepts and issues;
· provide an introduction to the Student Assessment Inventory for School Districts as a process to streamline testing and support limited, high-quality assessments for all students.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
