It does not represent a position from the United Nations. This report is posted on: http://ochaonline.un.org/kenya I. General Overview Development partners are insisting on the full implementation of the Waki and Kriegler reports to facilitate further development and put an end to impunity. Twenty-five diplomatic missions in Nairobi, including the US, Canada and the European Union countries have piled pressure for the implementation of the report whose key recommendations was the setting up of a special tribunal to try the financiers, perpetrators and instigators of the violence that rocked the country at the beginning of this year. The European Union has threatened aid sanctions should the Waki Report not be implemented. An opinion poll by Strategic Research Limited found that 55.8 per cent of respondents supported the full implementation of the report on post-lection violence. On 19 November, Parliament moved to chart the path of implementing the Waki Report by forming two committees to provide leadership on the controversial findings.

  • ANNEX A8 How Much Effort Did Students Invest in the PISA Test?
    ANNEX A8 How much effort did students invest in the PISA test? Performance on school tests is the result of the interplay amongst what students know and can do, how quickly they process information, and how motivated they are for the test. To ensure that students who sit the PISA test engage with the assessment conscientiously and sustain their efforts throughout the test, schools and students that are selected to participate in PISA are often reminded of the importance of the study for their country. For example, at the beginning of the test session, the test administrator reads a script that includes the following sentence: “This is an important study because it will tell us about what you have been learning and what school is like for you. Because your answers will help influence future educational policies in <country and/or education system>, we ask you to do the very best you can.” However, viewed in terms of the individual student who takes the test, PISA can be described as a low-stakes assessment: students can refuse to participate in the test without suffering negative consequences, and do not receive any feedback on their individual performance. If students perceive an absence of personal consequences associated with test performance, there is a risk that they might not invest adequate effort (Wise and DeMars, 2010[1]). Several studies in the United States have found that student performance on assessments, such as the United States national assessment of educational progress (NAEP), depends on the conditions of administration. In particular, students performed less well in regular low-stakes conditions compared to experimental conditions in which students received financial rewards tied to their performance or were told that their results would count towards their grades (Wise and DeMars, 2005[2]).
