Education Policy Outlook 2018
Putting Student Learning at the Centre
Taking the students’ perspective, Education Policy Outlook 2018: Putting Student Learning at the Centre analyses the evolution of key education priorities and key education policies in 43 education systems. It compares more recent developments in education policy ecosystems (mainly between 2015 and 2017) with various education policies adopted between 2008 and 2014. This report includes around 200 policies spanning from early childhood education and care (ECEC) to higher education and lifelong learning on topics such as: improving the quality and access to ECEC, promoting education success for all students, reducing the negative impact of some system-level policies and practices, increasing completion of upper secondary education, developing quality vocational education and training, enhancing the quality of tertiary education, supporting transitions across education pathways and the labour market.
Developing tools to explore education policy ecosystems
Better decisions on education policy are needed to respond to the broad challenges that education systems are facing. Reform success depends on much more than the nature and design of reforms. Policy makers need to understand policy ecosystems, which encompass political and economic contexts, systemic policy priorities, key actors and well aligned arrangements conducive to policy implementation. This chapter lays the foundation for policy makers to navigate the knowledge base presented in subsequent chapters on key policy priorities, challenges and recent education policy reforms across these systems.
