| Summary: | This study argues that in order to
improve education quality, it is crucial to monitor each
policy domain that makes up the whole. To help
government's identify best practice policies, the World
Bank created a framework to benchmark education system
policies across the world. The framework is called system
assessment and Benchmarking for Education Results (SABER).
This study presents the first, pilot application of SABER in
14 economies in East Asia-a region where improving the
quality of education remains the key challenge. It outlines
the SABER framework for eight education policy domains;
affording cross-country comparisons, in combination with
evidence on which program work. Under each domain, the
latest empirical evidence on how these policies and
practices relate to education quality is presented, along
with the indicators used to measure them. The report
concludes that the key to a successful education system is
not just success in any one domain, but an overall alignment
of policies in many aspects of the education system. |
