  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • Transforming Secondary Education in Pakistan Using Flipped Classrooms
    Transforming Secondary Education in Pakistan Using Flipped Classrooms EDKASA (pronounced ed-kasa) leverages rapid speed of internet penetration in Pakistan to make quality teachers accessible for secondary education. Using a flipped classroom model, EDKASA plans to deploy 500 franchises to distribute its ‘live teaching web-streams’ reaching 20,000 secondary students by 2020. The Challenge Improving secondary education outcomes has a direct impact on poverty reduction. UNESCO reports that the global poverty rate can be halved if all adults completed secondary education1. Pakistan has more than 15 million out of school secondary students1. A major reason for this is insufficient number of secondary schools – only 1 in 9 government schools is a secondary school2. In addition, of those who do attend secondary schools, more than half do not graduate1. The widespread availability of internet in Pakistan can potentially transform secondary education outcomes. 90% of the population will have access to 3G/4G internet by 20203. However, ownership of internet enabled devices is expected to significantly lag behind due to low disposable income. Hence, any education delivery solution that wants to leverage internet needs to be designed for a low-resource setting. The EDKASA Solution EDKASA is an edtech startup based in Lahore, Pakistan that connects students with ‘Rock Star’ teachers using its live, interactive virtual classroom platform. EDKASA wants to expand into the secondary education segment using a franchise-based model that makes EDKASA’s live web-streams accessible without having to own an internet-enabled device. EDKASA envisions deploying a network of low-cost franchises that will create flipped classrooms to distribute EDKASA’s live teaching web-streams at physical locations.

  • A Plan to Expand Preschool in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act February 19, 2015
    A Plan to Expand Preschool in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act February 19, 2015 Today, more than half of children from low-income families start school behind without the foundational skills that set them up to learn and be successful in kindergarten and beyond. Knowing this, states and cities as diverse as Oklahoma, Georgia, New York City, Boston, San Antonio, and Washington, D.C., have taken steps to expand access to preschool. Research from these early-adopter states and districts shows that low-income children can gain an average of four months of additional learning. In the highest quality programs, they gain 6 to 12 months, significantly narrowing the school readiness gap.1 For this reason, preschool is a popular policy across diverse and bipartisan stakeholders. Leaders in the business, military, and law enforcement have spoken in favor of further public investments in preschool. And Republican and Democratic governors have been outspoken proponents of expanding access to preschool. While Congress considers changes to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, or ESEA, it has an opportunity to make a big difference in the lives of low-income children by making high-quality preschool a reality for those who don’t currently have access. The goal of ESEA is to ensure that all students, particularly disadvantaged students, have access to good education. Incorporating early learning in ESEA is critical to achieving this goal, as many of the poorest children do not have access to high-quality early child- hood programs. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) identified early childhood education as a key priority for ESEA reauthorization, and House Democrats led by Rep.

  • I. Education Accommodation Plans Preschool, Elementary and Secondary Education
    I. Education accommodation plans As required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, The U.S. Department of Education has certain regulations, which are divided between Preschool, Elementary and Secondary Education, and Postsecondary Education. Preschool, Elementary and Secondary Education: Children with disabilities are entitled to a “free appropriate public education” regardless of the nature or extent of the disability. A child has a “disability” under Section 504 if he or she is substantially limited in a major life activity. Under the 2008 amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act – which uses the same definition of “disability” – bowel and digestive functions are major life activities. In addition, under the amendments, an episodic illness is disabling when in remission if it would be disabling when active. Thus, IBD constitutes a disability for purposes of Section 504. Section 504 refers to various educational settings. Disabled students will be educated, have meals and participate in activities with the other students, in the same facilities, to the extent possible. Where attendance at some facility other than the usual classroom is required, it must be comparable as possible. The federal regulations provide for a “preplacement evaluation.” However, in fact, such formal evaluations rarely occur under Section 504, whereas formal testing is required under the IDEA. If the child requires special education, then the plan that will be written will be an IEP under the IDEA; a Section 504 plan does not and cannot include special education services. Instead, a Section 504 plan can include proximity to a bathroom, an anytime bathroom pass, stop the clock testing, tutoring or other assistance when a child is unable to attend school due to illness, and so on.
