The OECD School Resources Review aims to help countries make resource decisions that support quality, equity and efficiency in school education. The Review provides country-specific and comparative analysis on the use of financial, physical and human resources in school systems. It offers policy advice on how to govern, distribute and manage resources so that they contribute to achieving countries’ educational objectives. More information on the project and its publications can be found at: http://www.oecd.org/education/school-resources-review/.

The Funding of School Education - Connecting Resources and LearningEduSkills OECD
Launch Seminar, 26 June 2017, Brussels with Deborah Nusche & Thomas Radinger, OECD, Directorate for Education and Skills
School systems have limited financial resources with which to pursue their objectives and the design of school funding policies plays a key role in ensuring that resources are directed to where they can make the most difference. As OECD school systems have become more complex and characterised by multi-level governance, a growing set of actors are increasingly involved in financial decision-making. This requires designing funding allocation models that are aligned to a school system’s governance structures, linking budget planning procedures at different levels to shared educational goals and evaluating the use of school funding to hold decision makers accountable and ensure that resources are used effectively and equitably.

Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence: Into the Future. Report presentationBeatriz Pont
Students in Scotland (UK) engage in learning through Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), which aims to provide them with a holistic, coherent, and future-oriented approach to learning between the ages of 3 and 18. CfE offers an inspiring and widely supported philosophy of education. Schools design their own curriculum based on a common framework which allows for effective curricular practices. In 2020, Scotland invited the OECD to assess the implementation of CfE in primary and secondary schools to understand how school curricula have been designed and implemented in recent years. This report analyses the progress made with CfE since 2015, building upon several months of observations in Scotland, the existing literature and experiences from other OECD countries. The OECD analysis and recommendations aim to support Scotland as it further enhances CfE to achieve its potential for the present and future of its learners. Just as Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence was among the pioneers of 21st century learning, its most recent developments hold valuable lessons for other education systems and their own curriculum policies.
Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence: Into the futureEduSkills OECD
Scotland (United Kingdom) pioneered the approach to 21st-century curricula when it first conceived its Curriculum for Excellence (CfE). Rolled out in schools since 2010, CfE aims to provide students with a holistic, coherent, and future-oriented approach to learning between the ages of 3 and 18. In 2020, Scotland invited the OECD to assess the implementation of CfE in primary and secondary schools in order to understand the design and development of school curricula since 2015, aiming to uncover valuable lessons for other education systems and their own curriculum policies.
Supporting schools with better human resource policiesEduSkills OECD
The staff working in schools are the most important resource for today’s education systems, both educationally and financially. This report aims to provide guidance for the design of human resource policies that strengthen, recognise and preserve the positive impact that teachers, school leaders and other school staff have on their students. It offers an in-depth analysis of how human resource policies can make the best use of available resources to create supportive working environments and build both individual and collective professional capacity in schools. This includes the design of entry requirements, career structures, salary schedules and working time arrangements to attract, retain and motivate high-quality staff; the effective and equitable matching of staff with schools through fair and transparent staff funding and recruitment; and informed investments in professional learning, from initial preparation to continuing development. Throughout its analysis, the report looks at implementation challenges and considers under which conditions human resource policy reforms are most likely to have the desired effects on schools and their staff. This report is the third in a series of thematic comparative reports bringing together findings from the OECD School Resources Review.

What is the important data that is not being recorded in comparative internat...Frederic Fovet
There have been giant steps made in the last decade with regards to the ways data on student performance is collected, analyzed and used for school improvement (Breakspear, 2014; Rozgonjuk et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2020). Much of the impact of the analysis of this data lies in the fact that it has allowed for large international comparative studies that yield important conclusions on the effectiveness of teaching practices, curriculum, and modes of assessment (Dickinson, 2019; OECD 2000-2015). The PISA framework and annual PISA results have in particular allowed for revealing reflections, at international level, in relation to the objectives, ethos and performance of national educational structures (Krieg, 2019; Patrinos & Angrist, 2018).
International comparative studies carried out on the data collected for the purpose of these large surveys, however, have yet to examine learner diversity or educational system’s ability to develop, grow and sustain inclusive practices in schools (Krammer et al., 2021). As a result, a significant gap exists in the quantitative data that is emerging from international comparative studies (Ainscow, 2015; Booth & Ainscow, 2002; Poulsen & Hewson, 2014).
This presentation will (i) examine the limitations of international, comparative standardized data on the issues of learner diversity and inclusive practices, (ii) explore the quantitative tools that do exist but are currently under-utilized in terms of data mining, (iii) examine the challenges and opportunities which lie ahead in relation to the development of sustainable quantitative tools that might allow for comparative analysis of the various ways national education systems tackle the task of differentiating education.

OECD School Resources Review - Responsive School SystemsEduSkills OECD
This report on Responsive School Systems is the second in a series of thematic comparative reports bringing together findings from the OECD’s School Resources Review. Evolving educational objectives, changing student needs and demographic developments require school systems to be highly responsive to new patterns of demand and adapt their provision accordingly. The organisation of school facilities, sectors and programmes plays a key role in doing so and in providing students with a high-quality education where they need it. The report aims to assist governments in organising school infrastructures and services to achieve their education policy objectives and to ensure that resources are used effectively and equitably. It offers a systematic analysis of the governance of school networks, their adaption to demographic changes and student needs in urban, rural and remote areas, as well as the vertical and horizontal co-ordination of education services to improve students’ transitions. This report was co-funded by the European Commission.

Curriculum alignment and progression between early childhood education and ca...EduSkills OECD
Curriculum plays an important role in ensuring continuity and progression from early childhood education and care (ECEC) to primary education. The alignment of curricula and standards across these settings shapes children’s early experiences with education systems, with implications for children’s relationships and engagement in both ECEC and primary school, as well as longer-term learning and well-being outcomes. Governments can achieve curricular continuity in various ways, ranging from high-level alignment of goals across multiple curriculum documents to full integration of the curriculum into a single document that covers both ECEC and primary school. The broader contexts of education systems, such as organisation and governance, the training of staff and teachers who work in these settings, matter for curricular continuity – and an integrated curriculum alone does not guarantee a continuous experience for children.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

School funding
Context and motivation
10. • The overall level of funding matters, but allocation
mechanisms play a key role in connecting resources to learning
• Well-designed school funding policies are crucial to achieve
quality, efficiency and equity objectives in school education
• Equity and efficiency can go hand in hand in the allocation of
resources

Distributing school funding
How to distribute funding across schools and students?
16. • Almost all participating countries have developed
approaches for needs-based funding but evidence on
impact is scarce
• With greater discretion given to schools over use of
funds, there is greater need for adequate
accountability (incl. by school boards) and capacity for
self-evaluation
• Budget transparency will help make inequities in
resource allocation apparent but important to consider
administrative burdens placed on schools
16
Managing school funding
How to monitor effective/equitable use?
17. • System accountability for progress in meeting the
needs of target groups is equally important
• Bringing together information on funding, processes
and outcomes can help communicate goals of
investments in the school system and build consensus
about fiscal efforts for schooling
• Mobilising knowledge generated through research,
evaluation and monitoring will enhance budget planning /
quality of decision making
