The following report is the first of a
 two-stage video study to examine teaching practices and
 activities in Indonesian classrooms. The first stage is
 linked to results of the 2007 Trends in International
 Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) where 100 of the 150
 classes that participated in the TIMSS examination also
 participated in this additional video study component. The
 second stage will also involve 100 classes that will
 participate in the 2011 exam. The second phase will follow
 the same methodology, allowing for comparison across years,
 but will also involve more in-depth analysis of the links
 between teaching practices and student outcomes and how
 teaching practices are influenced by teachers' belief
 systems and subject content knowledge. Indonesia has been a
 committed participant in the TIMSS, Program for
 International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Progress in
 International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) international
 standardized student examinations for many years and is one
 of the few non-OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation
 and Development) countries to participate so fully.
 Indonesian student performance in these examinations has
 been relatively low, even when taking socio-economic levels
 into account. For example, for mathematics Indonesia ranked
 36th out of 48 participating countries in TIMSS 2007, and
 its score of 397 was more than one standard deviation below
 the international average (Mullis et al, 2008). The results
 have been useful in providing an indication of
 Indonesia's relative standing in student achievement
 and its progress over time, but the real challenge is to
 take the next step and translate the results into an
 understanding of the factors leading to the test scores and
 what might be done to enhance student achievement in Indonesia.Date

Private Non-State Sector Engagement in the Provision of Educational Services at the Primary and Secondary Levels in South Asia : An Analytical Review of Its Role in School Enrollment and Student AchievementDahal, Mahesh; Nguyen, Quynh (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2014-06)Private (non-state) sector engagement in
 the provision of educational services at the primary and
 secondary levels in South Asia has recently undergone
 remarkable growth. This type of education comes in various
 forms, such as schools financed and managed by the private
 sector, schools financed by the government and managed by
 the private sector, private school vouchers, and tutoring
 outside the classroom. According to recent household survey
 data, almost one-third of school-goers aged 6 to 18 years in
 South Asia go to private schools, with a high concentration
 in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Data for India,
 Nepal, and Pakistan show that on average, private schools
 perform at least as well as government schools on student
 test scores, after controlling for socioeconomic factors,
 and they do so at significantly lower costs to society.
 However, student achievement varies greatly across schools
 of each type, with many weak private schools as well as
 strong government schools. Substantial, albeit indirect,
 evidence points to teacher behavior and accountability as an
 important driver of the effectiveness of private schools. In
 the long run, however, many factors may play important roles
 in sustaining the private sector's advantage. Another
 risk is that overall poor quality in a large government
 sector may set a low benchmark for the private sector. The
 findings cast doubt on the effectiveness of government
 regulations for private schools, given weak institutional
 capacity. Public-private partnerships with effective
 accountability mechanisms could leverage both equity and
 efficiency. Finally, it appears important to understand and
 customize teaching to the child's individual level.

Strategies for Sustainable Financing of Secondary Education in Sub-Saharan Africa : Appendix 4 - Costs and Financing of Secondary Education in Ghana, A Situational AnalysisLewin, Keith M. (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008)This thematic study discusses strategies for sustainable financing of secondary education in Sub-Saharan Africa. The report provides insight into options for financing the expansion of secondary education and training in Africa. This comes with a hefty price tag and points to the need to undertake fundamental reforms swiftly. This publication messages are clear: secondary education and training in Sub-Saharan Africa faces the challenge of improved efficiency and improved quality simultaneously with a fast growing demand. Sustainable financing will also require more effective public-private partnerships, because governments have many priorities and do not have a lot of room for significant additional public funding of post-primary systems. Educational reforms are needed to expand enrollment in secondary schooling in affordable ways. These reforms will contribute to poverty reduction by increasing the levels of knowledge, skills, and capability; diminishing inequalities in access that limit social mobility and skew income distribution; and contributing to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that relate to education.

Rwanda - Education Country Status Report : Toward Quality Enhancement and Achievement of Universal Nine Year Basic Education - An Education System in Transition; A Nation in TransitionWorld Bank (World Bank, 2012-03-19)The Republic of Rwanda is a relatively
 small country located in Central Africa with a population of
 approximately 10 million people, making it one of the more
 densely populated countries in the world. The current
 government is taking positive steps to helps the country
 emerge from its tragic past, and aims to promote
 reconciliation and unity among all Rwandese and forbids any
 political activity or discrimination based on race,
 ethnicity, or relation. The government's effort to
 deliver basic public services to its population, including
 education, also follow the spirit of inclusiveness and aims
 to diminish gender, socioeconomic and geographic
 disparities. Rwanda's development agenda is entering a
 new phase as it transitions from post-genocide recovery to
 producing a population that is regionally and globally
 competitive and economically and socially secure. The
 education sector plays a significant role in fulfilling the
 national agenda. This Country Status Report (CSR) takes
 stock of recent progress and identifies a new generation of
 challenges facing the education sector, particularly in the
 context of ongoing decentralization and the
 government's recent initiative to extend basic
 education to nine years of schooling.
