Improving the Quality of Education For All:
Quality Indicators for Students, Schools, and School Systems

The 2005 Global Monitoring Report for EFA highlighted poor student performance in many primary education systems that have expanded under EFA.  The EFA-Fast Track Initiative has formed a Quality of Learning Outcomes Task Team and a recent evaluation took the World Bank to task for insufficient attention to learning. This focus on learning outcomes has led to a new demand for quality indicators at the primary school level.  Two two-hour workshops will introduce participants to some of these school and learning quality indicators and will provide an opportunity to discuss their application in their own settings.  The first hour of each workshop will feature a panel of experts, each describing a different indicator.  During the second hour, workshop participants can join small group discussions about the application of each indicator.
