The document discusses market mechanisms that have been introduced into education systems in OECD countries over the past two decades. These mechanisms include increased school autonomy, competition between schools through parental choice, and formula funding based on student enrollment or outcomes. While proponents argue these could improve quality, efficiency and innovation, critics argue they could increase inequality, segregation, and failing schools. Empirical research has found the effects of market mechanisms on educational outcomes to be small and inconsistent. Parental choices are best predicted by school composition and reputation rather than performance indicators alone. Competition only has effects when a minimum threshold is reached, and schools often respond through cooperation rather than quality improvements. In conclusion, there are no general conclusions as the impact depends on context and
The document discusses user needs assessment and profiling methods used by national statistical institutes. It found that 29 countries participated in a survey, with 20 providing information on their techniques. These included direct feedback methods, surveys, web feedback, personas, monitoring communications, and user research. The most popular methods were direct feedback techniques and monitoring communications. Effective user needs assessment relies on understanding users, building relationships through communication, and managing expectations. The document raises questions about how Australia and Denmark developed similar personas and how countries implement best practices.

Programmatic Politics and Voter Preferences: The 2017 Election in Kulon Progo...UniversitasGadjahMada
Vote buying and patronage distribution have become widespread in Indonesian elections. Yet, it is also evident that some candidates use programmatic strategies to compete. Drawing on the case of the 2017 election in Kulon Progo district, Yogyakarta Special Region, and using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this article seeks to explain why the incumbent opted out of vote buying and similar clientelistic strategies and why voters supported his programmatic approach. We show that the incumbent prepared vote buying as a fallback strategy but did not activate it. He was able to make this choice because he faced little competition and had invested politically in programmatic policies, though he was also assisted by his ability to manipulate his proximity with the Yogyakarta Sultanate for electoral purposes. This article shows that Indonesian voters can be highly appreciative of programmatic approaches, rather than simply being the “ballot-sellers” they are often assumed to be in the literature on money politics and patronage. In this case, moreover, programmatic success produced a less competitive election that in turn created the possibility for the incumbent candidate to opt out of clientelism.
