Steering of Quality in Basic Education: Some « Learn from promising practices to ensure effective use of large-scale learning assessment data for educational policy and practice » Regional support Programme for Quality Management in Basic Education *** Some examples of data utilization to identify priority areas of intervention Use of standardized assessment data to identify priority areas for intervention – Highlighting disparities with SNERS data in Senegal (i) SNERS assessment in Senegal : National System for the Evaluation of School Performance (SNERS from the French acronym): To understand the thresholds of students' proficiency in language and communication, mathematics and education for science and social life in order to remedy or strengthen their skills. Monitor the learning outcomes of BE and SE students in the core subjects targeted by previous editions. SNERS I (1994) à VII (2015) (ii) The analysis approach 1. Identification of the most vulnerable Academies Inspectorates (IA) from the point of view of learning, in other words, inspections that have a high proportion of students with learning challenges 2. Highlighting disparities between Education and Training Inspectorates (IEF) within Academies Inspectorates (IA). (iii) Some results (1/4) Chart 1 : Distribution of IAs by proportion of students with "learning disabilities" or "lack of mastery of basic skills" in SE 100% 90% 80% 72% 72% 70% 61% 62% 60% 52% 47% 48% 50% 43% 38% 39% 40% 34% 37% 29% 29% 30% 21% 23% 24% 20% 10% 0% (iii) Some Results (2/4) Although the Dakar IA is one of the least vulnerable IAs in terms of learning… Table 1 : IA of DAKAR : Proportion of students with "learning difficulties" or "lack of mastery of basic skills" in SE IA DAKAR 29% IEF Grand Dakar 51% IEF Dakar Plateau 34% IEF Parcelles Assainies 23% IEF Almadies 13% …. the proportion of pupils with learning difficulties varies greatly depending on whether we are looking at the IEF of Grand Dakar or Les Almadies (iii) Some results (3/4) There are also significant disparities among the most vulnerable IAs… Table 2 : IA OF KOLDA : Proportion of students with "learning difficulties" or "lack of mastery of basic skills" in SE by IEF IA KOLDA 61% IEF Velingara 84% IEF Medina Yoro Foulah 58% IEF Kolda 36% (iii) Some results (4/4) And sometimes very significant differences between the IEFs of the same IA… Table 2 : IA OF SAINT-LOUIS : Proportion of students with "learning difficulties" or "lack of mastery of basic skills" in SE by IEF IA SAINT-LOUIS 43% IEF Dagana 64% IEF St Louis Département 48% IEF Podor 47% IEF Pété 42% IEF St Louis Commune 19% => Importance of highlighting these disparities to provide appropriate solutions Support programme for quality management : Linking EMIS data with National Examination data to identify different school profiles located in particularly challenging educational contexts *** (i) The analytical approach (ii) The Niger example (i) The analytical approach (1/2) 1. Identification of regions marked by a high index of failure of the education system Use of enrolment indicators available in countries' statistical directories to identify the most vulnerable regions, i.e. regions with rates systematically lower rates than the national average over a relatively long period. Examples of indicators used: - enrollment rate, - intake rate, - completion rate, - retention rate, - repetition rate, 2. Within these regions, identification of inspectorates marked by a lack of material and pedagogical resources within schools Use of EMIS databases for the construction of an index (i) of material resources and (ii) of pedagogical resources of schools to identify inspectorates with a significant proportion of schools with few material and pedagogical resources. (i) The analytical approach (2/2) 3. Within these inspectorates, identification of "performing" schools By "successful" schools, we mean schools that have good learning outcomes (success rates in national examinations or assessments) but are also "inclusive" (stable enrolment, low repetition and/or dropout rates, etc.). 4. Identification of promising quality management practices in these schools Observation of actors' practices based on classroom observation and semi-directive interviews with management and teachers in order to identify promising quality management practices implemented in these schools. (ii) The Niger example (1/4) 1. Identification of regions marked by a high index of failure of the education system Table 1 : Enrollment indicators in primary education by region Gross Intake Rate Gross Enrollment Rate Completion Rate Regions 2015-16 2016-17 Regions 2015-16 2016-17 Regions 2015-16 2016-17 ZINDER 66,3 68,7 DIFFA 62,3 59,1 DIFFA 57,6 46,5 TAHOUA 68,6 71,8 ZINDER 59,1 60,6 ZINDER 54,3 56,7 NIGER 78,1 84,6 TAHOUA 68,1 69,2 TAHOUA 73,2 72,9 MARADI 80,7 87,7 NIGER 76,2 77,8 NIGER 78,4 80,3 TILLABERY 78,8 88,9 TILLABERY 76,7 78,8 TILLABERY 71,1 81 DOSSO 85,5 91,8 MARADI 80 81,7 AGADEZ 91,3 86,1 DIFFA 66,1 94,6 DOSSO 85,1 87,4 MARADI 97 91,7 AGADEZ 91,7 100,9 AGADEZ 99,2 97,4 DOSSO 92,3 99 NIAMEY 144,2 148,5 NIAMEY 139,4 144 ,4 NIAMEY 115,6 127 The regions of Zinder et Tahoua show the highest rates of failure of the education system (ii) The Niger example (2/3) 2. Within these regions, identification of inspections marked by a lack of material and pedagogical resources within schools . Index of school infrastructure resources built on the following 6 indicators: - School has a water point - School has latrines - School has a functional handwashing system - School has a playground - School has a garbage collection system - Presence of a fence . Index of school pedagogical resources built on the following 4 indicators: - School has a pupilt:teacher ratio below 40:1 - At least half of the school’s teachers are qualified - School with at least 1 reading textbook per student - School with at least 1 maths textbook per student (ii) The Niger example (3/4) 2. Within these regions, identification of inspectorates marked by a lack of material and pedagogical resources within schools Chart 2 : Region of TAHOUA : Inspections according to the proportion of schools not well equipped in terms of material and pedagogical resources (2016-2017) Birnin Konni 100% IEFA Konni Tillia Keita in Dogueraoua Tahoua Département Tchintabaraden Allakaye 90% Ibohamane Abalak Tamaské TAHOUA Bangui equipped 80% Malbaza Bouza IEFA Bouza Tébaram Badaguichiri resources Bagaroua well 70% IEFA Tchintabaraden Madaoua IEFA Tahoua not Bambèye 60% pedaoggical Tassara schools of 50% Illéla terms 40% Tahoua Commune I Proportion of Proportion Tahoua Commune II 30% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Proportion of schools not well equipped in terms of material resources (iii) Following the analysis… 3.

  • Recent Food Price Developments in Most Vulnerable Countries
    RECENT FOOD PRICE DEVELOPMENTS IN MOST VULNERABLE COUNTRIES - ISSUE NO 2, DECEMBER 2008 - This price watch bulletin covers the quarterly period from September to November 2008 . The objective of the bulletin is to provide early warning information on price changes of staple food commodities and their likely impact on the cost of the food basket. Price changes are determined for each country on a quarterly basis. Highlights: • Prices still remain significantly higher compared to last year and long term averages, especially in Eastern and Southern Africa, Asia and Middle East. Overall, the impact on the cost of the food basket remains relatively high. • However, in most of the 36 countries monitored, prices of main staple food commodities have slightly declined over the last three months. • West Africa: Staple food prices were generally stable during the last quarter, except in Benin and Senegal where prices have continued to rise-albeit at a lower rate. The year on year price changes remain higher than changes from long term averages. • East and Southern Africa: The region shows a mixed picture. Half of the countries are still experiencing upward price trends, with significant maize price increases observed in Malawi and Kenya. Prices remain very high compared to their long run averages, especially in the Horn of Africa. The situation remains alarming in Zimbabwe due to hyperinflation . • Asia and Selected Countries: Prices have either remained stable or declined, implying that the cost of food basket in these countries has declined more when compared to other regions such as Africa. However, they remain significantly higher in comparison to the long run averages.
