Executive summary

The first full year after adoption of the universal education agenda required governments to connect a broad global commitment with immediate national duties. Education 2030 called for inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning, while 2016 brought unprecedented attention to humanitarian need, protracted displacement and the responsibilities of host systems. The World Humanitarian Summit period, the launch of Education Cannot Wait and the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants made it untenable to treat education in crisis as a short interruption outside normal public planning.

This annual report integrates four domains: standards interpretation, comparative evidence, policy and regulatory analysis, and institutional quality improvement. Its central finding is that access, quality, completion and continuity must be read as one learner pathway. A place in a shortened temporary shift is not equivalent access where teaching time, qualified staff or recognition are missing. A national completion rate is not equitable progress where displaced, disabled, poor or remote learners are absent from the denominator. A new policy or fund is not an educational result until resources reach institutions and learners experience a usable service.

The 2016 evidence confirmed unfinished work from the Education for All era and established new baseline responsibilities. Systems needed to report group levels, not only national averages; reconcile administrative, household, assessment and humanitarian records; and preserve the provisional status of indicators still being refined. Crisis settings exposed the limits of institution-based statistics because mobile, refugee and internally displaced learners crossed mandates and jurisdictions. Statistical integrity required explicit coverage, uncertainty, versions and visible correction.

Teaching remained the decisive system capability. Expansion without enough prepared teachers, purposeful instructional time, suitable curriculum, fair assessment, language support, safeguarding and usable materials created nominal participation with weak learning. The quality response is not a single global method. It is a public minimum: sufficient competent teachers; coherent and relevant learning; safe participation; fair opportunity to demonstrate learning; and support tied to learner need. Institutions should connect these conditions to ordinary learner work and progression rather than infer quality from inputs alone.

Finance and governance had to bridge immediate response and durable capacity. Domestic budgets remained central, but equitable allocation required different resources where costs and barriers differed. International and humanitarian support needed to align with public standards, national information and recurrent obligations. Teachers, maintenance, language support, psychosocial referral, records and later assessment cannot be sustained through short grants alone. Agreements with non-state and humanitarian providers required common admission, fee, quality, safeguarding, record and transition duties.

Regional differentiation showed distinct priorities without weakening universal standards. Sub-Saharan systems faced acute workforce and capacity pressure; South Asian averages concealed intersecting disadvantage; Arab and West Asian crises demanded recognised pathways and host support; Europe confronted migration, language, skills recognition and social inclusion; Latin America and the Caribbean needed stronger links between participation, learning and completion; East Asia and the Pacific combined high achievement with internal inequality and remote-system challenges; small island systems required resilience, cooperation and portable pathways.

The immediate recommendation is a public implementation compact. Each country should select a limited number of material learner-facing priorities, publish group baselines and evidence gaps, assign legal and financial responsibility, state near-term milestones, verify actual delivery and preserve complaint and correction routes. The compact should distinguish commitment, funded measure, service received and learner outcome. This annual report uses only instruments and evidence available by 14 November 2016; later conferences, indicator changes and results are outside its account.

Key findings

  • Education 2030 implementation should join entitlement, teaching and learning, completion, transition and continuity through crisis.
  • Displacement requires prompt recognised education and sustained host-system capacity, not indefinite inferior temporary provision.
  • Teachers, instructional time, curriculum, assessment, language support, protection and resources form the substantive quality floor.
  • Completion evidence should follow cohorts, interruption, return and transition, including learners who move across borders or providers.
  • Rights duties continue across public, private, community and humanitarian delivery and require practical remedy.
  • Baselines and indicators need explicit definition, coverage, disaggregation, uncertainty, version and responsible ownership.
  • Finance should bridge humanitarian response and recurrent system capacity, with allocation traced to learner-facing service.
  • Institutional review should diagnose causes, fund bounded improvement, verify delivery and retest outcomes and unintended effects.
  • Regional differentiation should identify concrete capacity and equity priorities without replacing country evidence with stereotypes.
  • A short public action compact should state owners, finance, milestones, group baselines, participation and correction.

Scope and method

This annual integrated monitoring report reviews global education quality with regional differentiation as at 14 November 2016. It addresses national and local governments, education and statistical authorities, regional bodies, international institutions, civil society and providers operating under public responsibility. It covers early childhood through adult learning and ordinary, migration and crisis settings.

The evidence base is restricted to official United Nations, UNESCO and European institutional materials available by the cutoff. It includes adopted Education 2030 and displacement instruments, World Humanitarian Summit materials, the Education Cannot Wait launch, contemporaneous global and European monitoring, statistical proposals and rights guidance. Later 2016 outcomes, data and revisions are excluded. The report contains no retrospective judgement based on later implementation experience.

Education 2030 as a universal public compact

Education 2030 as a universal public compact defines an annual-monitoring question for the universal compact. For education 2030 as a universal public compact, the relevant population or responsible units are all national systems and learners from unequal starting points, and the direct evidence concerns entitlement, quality and national action. In examining education 2030 as a universal public compact, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on education 2030 as a universal public compact, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on education 2030 as a universal public compact, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-01] [REF-02] [REF-03] [REF-11]

The main risk in education 2030 as a universal public compact is that universality becomes a common slogan without differentiated baselines and owners. In examining education 2030 as a universal public compact, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on education 2030 as a universal public compact, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the universal compact, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on education 2030 as a universal public compact, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-01] [REF-02]

The required policy response for education 2030 as a universal public compact is to translate the common commitment into lawful national duties, resources and dated milestones. Within evidence on education 2030 as a universal public compact, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on education 2030 as a universal public compact, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting education 2030 as a universal public compact, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-02] [REF-03]

Evidence for the universal compact should be selected by coverage. For policy on education 2030 as a universal public compact, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting education 2030 as a universal public compact, for education 2030 as a universal public compact, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation. For decisions about education 2030 as a universal public compact, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-03] [REF-11]

Equity is embedded in education 2030 as a universal public compact. In interpreting education 2030 as a universal public compact, relevant comparisons may concern sex, poverty, location, disability, language, migration, displacement, age or education route. For decisions about education 2030 as a universal public compact, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of education 2030 as a universal public compact, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For education 2030 as a universal public compact, if part of all national systems and learners from unequal starting points cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on entitlement, quality and national action should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-01] [REF-11]

Interpretation of entitlement, quality and national action should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about education 2030 as a universal public compact, for education 2030 as a universal public compact, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution. Within the annual account of education 2030 as a universal public compact, the annual account should trace authority and resources to institutional receipt, service use, learning and progression while testing alternative explanations. For education 2030 as a universal public compact, regional comparison should retain country and subnational context. In examining education 2030 as a universal public compact, all claims should be dated so that evidence or institutional changes after 14 November 2016 are not read backwards.[REF-02] [REF-03] [REF-11]

Accountability completes education 2030 as a universal public compact. Within the annual account of education 2030 as a universal public compact, a material shortfall in the universal compact should lead to an owned decision with finance, a milestone and a later learner-facing test. For education 2030 as a universal public compact, people affected need accessible information, safe participation, confidential complaint and visible correction. In examining education 2030 as a universal public compact, if no immediate measure is selected, the reason and next evidence duty should be published. Within evidence on education 2030 as a universal public compact, the annual finding should finish as a chain of responsibility, delivery, evidence and remedy rather than an activity list with no required institutional response.[REF-01] [REF-02] [REF-03] [REF-11]

The first-year boundary of implementation

The first-year boundary of implementation defines an annual-monitoring question for the 2016 implementation boundary. For the first-year boundary of implementation, the relevant population or responsible units are authorities reporting the first year of the agenda, and the direct evidence concerns adopted measures and early evidence. In examining the first-year boundary of implementation, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on the first-year boundary of implementation, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on the first-year boundary of implementation, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-01] [REF-03] [REF-11] [REF-16]

The main risk in the first-year boundary of implementation is that later institutional arrangements are attributed to 2016 or activity is described as result. In examining the first-year boundary of implementation, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on the first-year boundary of implementation, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the 2016 implementation boundary, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on the first-year boundary of implementation, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-01] [REF-03]

The required policy response for the first-year boundary of implementation is to date each instrument and distinguish commitment, delivery, output and learner outcome. Within evidence on the first-year boundary of implementation, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on the first-year boundary of implementation, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting the first-year boundary of implementation, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-03] [REF-11]

Evidence for the 2016 implementation boundary should be selected by coverage.

Education as a right and public good

Education as a right and public good defines an annual-monitoring question for the public education responsibility. For education as a right and public good, the relevant population or responsible units are people entitled to education across public and delegated provision, and the direct evidence concerns availability, accessibility, acceptability and adaptability. In examining education as a right and public good, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on education as a right and public good, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on education as a right and public good, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-02] [REF-03] [REF-23] [REF-38]

The main risk in education as a right and public good is that shared delivery diffuses state responsibility and leaves remedy unclear. In examining education as a right and public good, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on education as a right and public good, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the public education responsibility, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on education as a right and public good, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-02] [REF-03]

The required policy response for education as a right and public good is to retain public duties for provision, regulation, information, finance and correction. Within evidence on education as a right and public good, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on education as a right and public good, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting education as a right and public good, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-03] [REF-23]

Displacement as a development and education concern

Displacement as a development and education concern defines an annual-monitoring question for the displacement responsibility. For displacement as a development and education concern, the relevant population or responsible units are refugees, migrants, displaced people and host communities, and the direct evidence concerns admission, continuity, quality and self-reliance. In examining displacement as a development and education concern, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on displacement as a development and education concern, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on displacement as a development and education concern, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-05] [REF-08] [REF-09] [REF-28]

The main risk in displacement as a development and education concern is that short humanitarian arrangements become a substitute for recognised public education. In examining displacement as a development and education concern, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on displacement as a development and education concern, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the displacement responsibility, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on displacement as a development and education concern, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-05] [REF-08]

The required policy response for displacement as a development and education concern is to join immediate access with host-system capacity, records, progression and longer-term finance. Within evidence on displacement as a development and education concern, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on displacement as a development and education concern, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting displacement as a development and education concern, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-08] [REF-09]

Sustainable development and education quality

Sustainable development and education quality defines an annual-monitoring question for the education-sustainability linkage. For sustainable development and education quality, the relevant population or responsible units are learners and communities facing environmental and social change, and the direct evidence concerns curriculum, capability and institutional practice. In examining sustainable development and education quality, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on sustainable development and education quality, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on sustainable development and education quality, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-01] [REF-11] [REF-20] [REF-21]

The main risk in sustainable development and education quality is that sustainability is reduced to isolated awareness activities or education is treated only as an economic input. In examining sustainable development and education quality, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on sustainable development and education quality, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the education-sustainability linkage, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on sustainable development and education quality, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-01] [REF-11]

The required policy response for sustainable development and education quality is to connect learning, rights, citizenship, livelihoods, institutions and ecological responsibility. Within evidence on sustainable development and education quality, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on sustainable development and education quality, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting sustainable development and education quality, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-11] [REF-20]

Evidence for the education-sustainability linkage should be selected by coverage. For policy on sustainable development and education quality, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting sustainable development and education quality, for sustainable development and education quality, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation.

Within the annual account of sustainable development and education quality, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For sustainable development and education quality, if part of learners and communities facing environmental and social change cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on curriculum, capability and institutional practice should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-01] [REF-21]

Interpretation of curriculum, capability and institutional practice should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about sustainable development and education quality, for sustainable development and education quality, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution.

Financing ambition and recurrent capability

Financing ambition and recurrent capability defines an annual-monitoring question for the financing compact. For financing ambition and recurrent capability, the relevant population or responsible units are governments and partners funding education duties, and the direct evidence concerns adequacy, equity and execution. In examining financing ambition and recurrent capability, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on financing ambition and recurrent capability, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on financing ambition and recurrent capability, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-04] [REF-07] [REF-11]

The main risk in financing ambition and recurrent capability is that commitment totals omit teachers, maintenance, support, data and predictable crisis costs. In examining financing ambition and recurrent capability, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on financing ambition and recurrent capability, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the financing compact, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on financing ambition and recurrent capability, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-04]

The required policy response for financing ambition and recurrent capability is to cost the full recurrent service and trace allocation, release, receipt and learner use. Within evidence on financing ambition and recurrent capability, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on financing ambition and recurrent capability, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting financing ambition and recurrent capability, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-04] [REF-07]

Evidence for the financing compact should be selected by coverage. For policy on financing ambition and recurrent capability, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting financing ambition and recurrent capability, for financing ambition and recurrent capability, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation. For decisions about financing ambition and recurrent capability, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-07] [REF-11]

Equity is embedded in financing ambition and recurrent capability. In interpreting financing ambition and recurrent capability, relevant comparisons may concern sex, poverty, location, disability, language, migration, displacement, age or education route. For decisions about financing ambition and recurrent capability, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of financing ambition and recurrent capability, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For financing ambition and recurrent capability, if part of governments and partners funding education duties cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on adequacy, equity and execution should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-03] [REF-11]

Interpretation of adequacy, equity and execution should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about financing ambition and recurrent capability, for financing ambition and recurrent capability, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution. Within the annual account of financing ambition and recurrent capability, the annual account should trace authority and resources to institutional receipt, service use, learning and progression while testing alternative explanations. For financing ambition and recurrent capability, regional comparison should retain country and subnational context. In examining financing ambition and recurrent capability, all claims should be dated so that evidence or institutional changes after 14 November 2016 are not read backwards.[REF-04] [REF-07] [REF-11]

Indicator architecture as a starting point

Indicator architecture as a starting point defines an annual-monitoring question for the indicator status. For indicator architecture as a starting point, the relevant population or responsible units are national statistical offices and international custodians, and the direct evidence concerns global and thematic measures. In examining indicator architecture as a starting point, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on indicator architecture as a starting point, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on indicator architecture as a starting point, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-15] [REF-16] [REF-17] [REF-40]

The main risk in indicator architecture as a starting point is that the March framework is treated as immutable or aggregate availability as full monitoring readiness. In examining indicator architecture as a starting point, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on indicator architecture as a starting point, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the indicator status, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on indicator architecture as a starting point, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-15] [REF-16]

The required policy response for indicator architecture as a starting point is to preserve provisionality, document national correspondence and strengthen missing target evidence. Within evidence on indicator architecture as a starting point, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on indicator architecture as a starting point, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting indicator architecture as a starting point, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-16] [REF-17]

Evidence for the indicator status should be selected by coverage. For policy on indicator architecture as a starting point, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting indicator architecture as a starting point, for indicator architecture as a starting point, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation. For decisions about indicator architecture as a starting point, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-17] [REF-40]

Equity is embedded in indicator architecture as a starting point. In interpreting indicator architecture as a starting point, relevant comparisons may concern sex, poverty, location, disability, language, migration, displacement, age or education route. For decisions about indicator architecture as a starting point, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of indicator architecture as a starting point, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For indicator architecture as a starting point, if part of national statistical offices and international custodians cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on global and thematic measures should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-15] [REF-40]

Interpretation of global and thematic measures should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about indicator architecture as a starting point, for indicator architecture as a starting point, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution. Within the annual account of indicator architecture as a starting point, the annual account should trace authority and resources to institutional receipt, service use, learning and progression while testing alternative explanations. For indicator architecture as a starting point, regional comparison should retain country and subnational context. In examining indicator architecture as a starting point, all claims should be dated so that evidence or institutional changes after 14 November 2016 are not read backwards.[REF-16] [REF-17] [REF-40]

Accountability completes indicator architecture as a starting point. Within the annual account of indicator architecture as a starting point, a material shortfall in the indicator status should lead to an owned decision with finance, a milestone and a later learner-facing test. For indicator architecture as a starting point, people affected need accessible information, safe participation, confidential complaint and visible correction. In examining indicator architecture as a starting point, if no immediate measure is selected, the reason and next evidence duty should be published.

Prompt admission and early retention

Prompt admission and early retention defines an annual-monitoring question for the admission pathway. For prompt admission and early retention, the relevant population or responsible units are eligible resident, refugee, migrant and displaced learners, and the direct evidence concerns request, decision, first attendance and early continuity. In examining prompt admission and early retention, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on prompt admission and early retention, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on prompt admission and early retention, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-05] [REF-10] [REF-23] [REF-29]

The main risk in prompt admission and early retention is that documents, address, status or placement discretion create prolonged waiting. In examining prompt admission and early retention, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on prompt admission and early retention, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the admission pathway, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on prompt admission and early retention, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-05] [REF-10]

The required policy response for prompt admission and early retention is to allow lawful provisional entry, review placement and track early attendance and support. Within evidence on prompt admission and early retention, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on prompt admission and early retention, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply.

Fees and indirect household costs

Fees and indirect household costs defines an annual-monitoring question for the affordable participation. For fees and indirect household costs, the relevant population or responsible units are households bearing fees, transport, materials, meals and lost time, and the direct evidence concerns required cost and withdrawal. In examining fees and indirect household costs, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on fees and indirect household costs, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on fees and indirect household costs, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-02] [REF-03] [REF-14] [REF-38]

The main risk in fees and indirect household costs is that nominally free provision transfers decisive costs to poor or displaced families. In examining fees and indirect household costs, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on fees and indirect household costs, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the affordable participation, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on fees and indirect household costs, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-02] [REF-03]

The required policy response for fees and indirect household costs is to remove prohibited charges and provide transparent targeted support without stigma. Within evidence on fees and indirect household costs, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on fees and indirect household costs, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting fees and indirect household costs, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-03] [REF-14]

The main risk in refugee learners and host-system capacity is that refugee access expands through reduced shifts while host quality and trust deteriorate. In examining refugee learners and host-system capacity, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on refugee learners and host-system capacity, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the refugee-host equity, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on refugee learners and host-system capacity, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-05] [REF-09]

The required policy response for refugee learners and host-system capacity is to finance a common quality floor and disclose distribution for both populations. Within evidence on refugee learners and host-system capacity, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on refugee learners and host-system capacity, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting refugee learners and host-system capacity, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-09] [REF-10]

Evidence for the refugee-host equity should be selected by coverage. For policy on refugee learners and host-system capacity, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting refugee learners and host-system capacity, for refugee learners and host-system capacity, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation. For decisions about refugee learners and host-system capacity, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-10] [REF-28]

Equity is embedded in refugee learners and host-system capacity. In interpreting refugee learners and host-system capacity, relevant comparisons may concern sex, poverty, location, disability, language, migration, displacement, age or education route. For decisions about refugee learners and host-system capacity, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of refugee learners and host-system capacity, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For refugee learners and host-system capacity, if part of refugee and host-community learners using shared systems cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on class size, time, teachers, materials and progression should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-05] [REF-28]

Interpretation of class size, time, teachers, materials and progression should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about refugee learners and host-system capacity, for refugee learners and host-system capacity, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution. Within the annual account of refugee learners and host-system capacity, the annual account should trace authority and resources to institutional receipt, service use, learning and progression while testing alternative explanations. For refugee learners and host-system capacity, regional comparison should retain country and subnational context. In examining refugee learners and host-system capacity, all claims should be dated so that evidence or institutional changes after 14 November 2016 are not read backwards.[REF-09] [REF-10] [REF-28]

Accountability completes refugee learners and host-system capacity. Within the annual account of refugee learners and host-system capacity, a material shortfall in the refugee-host equity should lead to an owned decision with finance, a milestone and a later learner-facing test. For refugee learners and host-system capacity, people affected need accessible information, safe participation, confidential complaint and visible correction. In examining refugee learners and host-system capacity, if no immediate measure is selected, the reason and next evidence duty should be published. Within evidence on refugee learners and host-system capacity, the annual finding should finish as a chain of responsibility, delivery, evidence and remedy rather than an activity list with no required institutional response.[REF-05] [REF-09] [REF-10] [REF-28]

Internally displaced and mobile learners

Internally displaced and mobile learners defines an annual-monitoring question for the mobile-learner continuity. For internally displaced and mobile learners, the relevant population or responsible units are internally displaced, nomadic and frequently moving learners, and the direct evidence concerns portable admission, attendance and recognition. In examining internally displaced and mobile learners, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on internally displaced and mobile learners, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on internally displaced and mobile learners, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-08] [REF-21] [REF-26] [REF-27]

The main risk in internally displaced and mobile learners is that jurisdictional records break at movement and temporary learners vanish from national totals. In examining internally displaced and mobile learners, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on internally displaced and mobile learners, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the mobile-learner continuity, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on internally displaced and mobile learners, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-08] [REF-21]

The required policy response for internally displaced and mobile learners is to use bounded portable records, flexible entry and recognised transfer evidence. Within evidence on internally displaced and mobile learners, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on internally displaced and mobile learners, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting internally displaced and mobile learners, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-21] [REF-26]

Non-state and temporary provision

Non-state and temporary provision defines an annual-monitoring question for the regulated shared provision. For non-state and temporary provision, the relevant population or responsible units are learners in community, private, humanitarian and temporary settings, and the direct evidence concerns common entitlement and transition. In examining non-state and temporary provision, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on non-state and temporary provision, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on non-state and temporary provision, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-07] [REF-26] [REF-38]

The main risk in non-state and temporary provision is that parallel providers fragment fees, curriculum, safeguarding, records and recognition. In examining non-state and temporary provision, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on non-state and temporary provision, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the regulated shared provision, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on non-state and temporary provision, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-07]

The required policy response for non-state and temporary provision is to apply public minimum duties, transparent agreements, oversight and transition to recognised routes. Within evidence on non-state and temporary provision, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on non-state and temporary provision, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting non-state and temporary provision, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-07] [REF-26]

Teacher supply, distribution and workload

Teacher supply, distribution and workload defines an annual-monitoring question for the teacher capability. For teacher supply, distribution and workload, the relevant population or responsible units are teachers and learners in differently resourced institutions, and the direct evidence concerns qualification, presence, workload and assignment. In examining teacher supply, distribution and workload, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on teacher supply, distribution and workload, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on teacher supply, distribution and workload, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-13] [REF-17] [REF-31]

The main risk in teacher supply, distribution and workload is that national staffing totals conceal vacancies, double shifts and unequal qualified-teacher exposure. In examining teacher supply, distribution and workload, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on teacher supply, distribution and workload, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the teacher capability, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on teacher supply, distribution and workload, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-13]

The required policy response for teacher supply, distribution and workload is to plan positions and support and report learner exposure by location, stage and group. Within evidence on teacher supply, distribution and workload, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on teacher supply, distribution and workload, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting teacher supply, distribution and workload, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-13] [REF-17]

Instructional time and emergency schedules

Instructional time and emergency schedules defines an annual-monitoring question for the learning time. For instructional time and emergency schedules, the relevant population or responsible units are learners in ordinary, double-shift and temporary arrangements, and the direct evidence concerns scheduled and delivered time. In examining instructional time and emergency schedules, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on instructional time and emergency schedules, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on instructional time and emergency schedules, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-13] [REF-26] [REF-27]

The main risk in instructional time and emergency schedules is that capacity expansion shortens sessions and omits practical or supportive learning. In examining instructional time and emergency schedules, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on instructional time and emergency schedules, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the learning time, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on instructional time and emergency schedules, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-13]

The required policy response for instructional time and emergency schedules is to protect minimum delivered time, curriculum breadth, breaks and restorative teaching. Within evidence on instructional time and emergency schedules, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on instructional time and emergency schedules, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting instructional time and emergency schedules, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-13] [REF-26]

Curriculum coherence and breadth

Curriculum coherence and breadth defines an annual-monitoring question for the curriculum entitlement. For curriculum coherence and breadth, the relevant population or responsible units are learners across subjects, stages and routes, and the direct evidence concerns intended and taught curriculum. In examining curriculum coherence and breadth, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on curriculum coherence and breadth, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on curriculum coherence and breadth, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-11] [REF-13] [REF-39]

The main risk in curriculum coherence and breadth is that test preparation or emergency prioritisation becomes permanent narrowing. In examining curriculum coherence and breadth, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on curriculum coherence and breadth, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the curriculum entitlement, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on curriculum coherence and breadth, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-11]

The required policy response for curriculum coherence and breadth is to state essential progression, protected breadth, omitted content and restoration. Within evidence on curriculum coherence and breadth, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on curriculum coherence and breadth, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply.

Assessment coverage and fair interpretation

Assessment coverage and fair interpretation defines an annual-monitoring question for the assessment quality. For assessment coverage and fair interpretation, the relevant population or responsible units are eligible learners including absentees and accommodated participants, and the direct evidence concerns coverage, distribution and learning threshold. In examining assessment coverage and fair interpretation, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on assessment coverage and fair interpretation, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on assessment coverage and fair interpretation, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-11] [REF-13] [REF-17] [REF-22]

The main risk in assessment coverage and fair interpretation is that mean scores conceal exclusions, language barriers and an unchanged learning floor. In examining assessment coverage and fair interpretation, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on assessment coverage and fair interpretation, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the assessment quality, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier.

For decisions about language of instruction and bridging support, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of language of instruction and bridging support, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For language of instruction and bridging support, if part of learners entering unfamiliar languages or curricula cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on comprehension, participation and transition should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-05] [REF-38]

Interpretation of comprehension, participation and transition should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about language of instruction and bridging support, for language of instruction and bridging support, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution.

Psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine

Psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine defines an annual-monitoring question for the protective education. For psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, the relevant population or responsible units are learners and educators affected by violence, loss and displacement, and the direct evidence concerns safe routine, referral and continued learning. In examining psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-07] [REF-08] [REF-26] [REF-39]

The main risk in psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine is that teachers are asked to provide clinical care or schooling exposes learners to intrusive enquiry. In examining psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the protective education, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-07] [REF-08]

The required policy response for psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine is to establish supportive routines, referral boundaries, confidentiality and educator support. Within evidence on psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-08] [REF-26]

Evidence for the protective education should be selected by coverage. For policy on psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, for psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation. For decisions about psychosocial wellbeing and protective routine, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-26] [REF-39]

Technical and vocational quality and progression

Technical and vocational quality and progression defines an annual-monitoring question for the technical-vocational pathway. For technical and vocational quality and progression, the relevant population or responsible units are youth and adults seeking occupational and broader capabilities, and the direct evidence concerns access, completion, relevance and onward movement. In examining technical and vocational quality and progression, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on technical and vocational quality and progression, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on technical and vocational quality and progression, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-30] [REF-36] [REF-37]

The main risk in technical and vocational quality and progression is that vocational routes become low-status terminal tracks for disadvantaged learners. In examining technical and vocational quality and progression, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on technical and vocational quality and progression, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the technical-vocational pathway, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on technical and vocational quality and progression, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-30]

The required policy response for technical and vocational quality and progression is to protect transferable learning, work relevance, recognition and progression. Within evidence on technical and vocational quality and progression, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on technical and vocational quality and progression, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting technical and vocational quality and progression, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-30] [REF-36]

Evidence for the technical-vocational pathway should be selected by coverage. For policy on technical and vocational quality and progression, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations.

The main risk in availability and sufficient public capacity is that temporary or private capacity is counted without sufficient staffing, duration or recognition. In examining availability and sufficient public capacity, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on availability and sufficient public capacity, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the availability standard, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on availability and sufficient public capacity, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-02] [REF-03]

The required policy response for availability and sufficient public capacity is to plan adequate recognised provision and disclose material service limitations. Within evidence on availability and sufficient public capacity, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on availability and sufficient public capacity, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply.

For policy on acceptability and substantive quality, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-13] [REF-23] [REF-39]

The main risk in acceptability and substantive quality is that any available seat is treated as acceptable regardless of teaching or protection. In examining acceptability and substantive quality, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on acceptability and substantive quality, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the acceptability standard, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on acceptability and substantive quality, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-13]

The required policy response for acceptability and substantive quality is to apply a common quality floor, participation and safeguarding across delivery forms. Within evidence on acceptability and substantive quality, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on acceptability and substantive quality, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply.

Within evidence on adaptability to learner circumstance, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on adaptability to learner circumstance, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting adaptability to learner circumstance, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-24] [REF-29]

Evidence for the adaptability standard should be selected by coverage. For policy on adaptability to learner circumstance, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting adaptability to learner circumstance, for adaptability to learner circumstance, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation. For decisions about adaptability to learner circumstance, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-29] [REF-38]

Equity is embedded in adaptability to learner circumstance. In interpreting adaptability to learner circumstance, relevant comparisons may concern sex, poverty, location, disability, language, migration, displacement, age or education route. For decisions about adaptability to learner circumstance, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of adaptability to learner circumstance, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For adaptability to learner circumstance, if part of learners differing by language, disability, age, movement and prior learning cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on reasonable and recognised adaptation should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-05] [REF-38]

Interpretation of reasonable and recognised adaptation should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about adaptability to learner circumstance, for adaptability to learner circumstance, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution.

Safeguarding and non-retaliation

Safeguarding and non-retaliation defines an annual-monitoring question for the protection duty. For safeguarding and non-retaliation, the relevant population or responsible units are learners and staff reporting harm or exclusion, and the direct evidence concerns safe reporting and continued access. In examining safeguarding and non-retaliation, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on safeguarding and non-retaliation, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on safeguarding and non-retaliation, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-23] [REF-24] [REF-26] [REF-39]

The main risk in safeguarding and non-retaliation is that complaints expose identity, trigger retaliation or result in withdrawal. In examining safeguarding and non-retaliation, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on safeguarding and non-retaliation, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the protection duty, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on safeguarding and non-retaliation, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-23] [REF-24]

The required policy response for safeguarding and non-retaliation is to provide confidential routes, bounded records, referral, protection and follow-up. Within evidence on safeguarding and non-retaliation, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on safeguarding and non-retaliation, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply.

Public information and truthful claims

Public information and truthful claims defines an annual-monitoring question for the information duty. For public information and truthful claims, the relevant population or responsible units are families and learners choosing or using provision, and the direct evidence concerns fees, hours, curriculum, recognition and support. In examining public information and truthful claims, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on public information and truthful claims, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on public information and truthful claims, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-22] [REF-32] [REF-38]

The main risk in public information and truthful claims is that nominal access or quality claims omit shorter shifts, charges or uncertain credentials. In examining public information and truthful claims, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on public information and truthful claims, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the information duty, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on public information and truthful claims, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-22]

The required policy response for public information and truthful claims is to publish site- and route-specific terms and correct changes visibly. Within evidence on public information and truthful claims, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on public information and truthful claims, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply.

National baseline construction

National baseline construction defines an annual-monitoring question for the baseline statement. For national baseline construction, the relevant population or responsible units are target populations and national statistical authorities, and the direct evidence concerns starting level, date and distribution. In examining national baseline construction, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on national baseline construction, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on national baseline construction, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-15] [REF-16] [REF-17] [REF-40]

The main risk in national baseline construction is that the nearest value is selected without conceptual fit or actual observation date. In examining national baseline construction, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on national baseline construction, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the baseline statement, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on national baseline construction, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-15] [REF-16]

The required policy response for national baseline construction is to record target concept, population, source, date, quality, groups, status and owner. Within evidence on national baseline construction, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy.

Administrative record coverage

Administrative record coverage defines an annual-monitoring question for the administrative evidence. For administrative record coverage, the relevant population or responsible units are recognised institutions, staff and registered learners, and the direct evidence concerns service, enrolment and flow. In examining administrative record coverage, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on administrative record coverage, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on administrative record coverage, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-17] [REF-19] [REF-32] [REF-40]

The main risk in administrative record coverage is that never-enrolled learners and non-reporting providers are absent while duplicates inflate totals. In examining administrative record coverage, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on administrative record coverage, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the administrative evidence, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on administrative record coverage, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-17] [REF-19]

Household and population evidence

Household and population evidence defines an annual-monitoring question for the population evidence. For household and population evidence, the relevant population or responsible units are people inside and outside education institutions, and the direct evidence concerns participation, attainment and disadvantage. In examining household and population evidence, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on household and population evidence, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on household and population evidence, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-10] [REF-14] [REF-22] [REF-40]

The main risk in household and population evidence is that sampling, proxy response and residence rules distort small or mobile populations. In examining household and population evidence, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on household and population evidence, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the population evidence, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on household and population evidence, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-10] [REF-14]

The required policy response for household and population evidence is to state frame, questions, response, weights, intervals and excluded populations. Within evidence on household and population evidence, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on household and population evidence, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting household and population evidence, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-14] [REF-22]

Evidence for the population evidence should be selected by coverage. For policy on household and population evidence, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting household and population evidence, for household and population evidence, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation. For decisions about household and population evidence, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-22] [REF-40]

Equity is embedded in household and population evidence. In interpreting household and population evidence, relevant comparisons may concern sex, poverty, location, disability, language, migration, displacement, age or education route. For decisions about household and population evidence, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of household and population evidence, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For household and population evidence, if part of people inside and outside education institutions cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on participation, attainment and disadvantage should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-10] [REF-40]

Interpretation of participation, attainment and disadvantage should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about household and population evidence, for household and population evidence, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution. Within the annual account of household and population evidence, the annual account should trace authority and resources to institutional receipt, service use, learning and progression while testing alternative explanations. For household and population evidence, regional comparison should retain country and subnational context. In examining household and population evidence, all claims should be dated so that evidence or institutional changes after 14 November 2016 are not read backwards.[REF-14] [REF-22] [REF-40]

Accountability completes household and population evidence. Within the annual account of household and population evidence, a material shortfall in the population evidence should lead to an owned decision with finance, a milestone and a later learner-facing test. For household and population evidence, people affected need accessible information, safe participation, confidential complaint and visible correction. In examining household and population evidence, if no immediate measure is selected, the reason and next evidence duty should be published. Within evidence on household and population evidence, the annual finding should finish as a chain of responsibility, delivery, evidence and remedy rather than an activity list with no required institutional response.[REF-10] [REF-14] [REF-22] [REF-40]

Learning-assessment coverage

Learning-assessment coverage defines an annual-monitoring question for the assessment evidence. For learning-assessment coverage, the relevant population or responsible units are eligible learners reached under stated conditions, and the direct evidence concerns achievement distribution. In examining learning-assessment coverage, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on learning-assessment coverage, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on learning-assessment coverage, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-13] [REF-17] [REF-22] [REF-31]

The main risk in learning-assessment coverage is that absence, disability, language and school exclusion remove learners at greatest risk. In examining learning-assessment coverage, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on learning-assessment coverage, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the assessment evidence, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on learning-assessment coverage, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-13] [REF-17]

The required policy response for learning-assessment coverage is to report target population, exclusions, participation, accommodations and uncertainty. Within evidence on learning-assessment coverage, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on learning-assessment coverage, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting learning-assessment coverage, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-17] [REF-22]

Humanitarian and displacement records

Humanitarian and displacement records defines an annual-monitoring question for the crisis evidence. For humanitarian and displacement records, the relevant population or responsible units are refugee, migrant, internally displaced and host populations, and the direct evidence concerns population, provision and continuity. In examining humanitarian and displacement records, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on humanitarian and displacement records, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on humanitarian and displacement records, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-05] [REF-09] [REF-10] [REF-28]

The main risk in humanitarian and displacement records is that mandate-specific sources count people and education status differently. In examining humanitarian and displacement records, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on humanitarian and displacement records, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the crisis evidence, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on humanitarian and displacement records, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-05] [REF-09]

The required policy response for humanitarian and displacement records is to reconcile bounded definitions without delaying service or exposing legal status. Within evidence on humanitarian and displacement records, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on humanitarian and displacement records, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting humanitarian and displacement records, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-09] [REF-10]

Disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility

Disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility defines an annual-monitoring question for the safe distributional evidence. For disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, the relevant population or responsible units are small and sensitive population groups, and the direct evidence concerns group levels and gaps. In examining disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-22] [REF-24] [REF-32] [REF-33]

The main risk in disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility is that greater detail exposes identity or suppression removes excluded groups from public concern. In examining disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the safe distributional evidence, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-22] [REF-24]

The required policy response for disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility is to apply necessity, minimum detail, controlled access and visible gap reporting. Within evidence on disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting disaggregation, confidentiality and invisibility, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-24] [REF-32]

Release, revision and correction

Release, revision and correction defines an annual-monitoring question for the statistical governance. For release, revision and correction, the relevant population or responsible units are people represented in and using education evidence, and the direct evidence concerns public value, version and remedy. In examining release, revision and correction, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on release, revision and correction, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on release, revision and correction, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-16] [REF-22] [REF-32] [REF-40]

The main risk in release, revision and correction is that definitions and values change silently or misuse remains uncorrected. In examining release, revision and correction, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on release, revision and correction, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the statistical governance, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on release, revision and correction, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-16] [REF-22]

The required policy response for release, revision and correction is to publish calendars, metadata, revisions, preserved versions and correction routes. Within evidence on release, revision and correction, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on release, revision and correction, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting release, revision and correction, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-22] [REF-32]

Domestic resource mobilisation and execution

Domestic resource mobilisation and execution defines an annual-monitoring question for the domestic finance. For domestic resource mobilisation and execution, the relevant population or responsible units are governments funding recurring education duties, and the direct evidence concerns revenue, budget and execution. In examining domestic resource mobilisation and execution, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on domestic resource mobilisation and execution, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on domestic resource mobilisation and execution, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-04] [REF-11] [REF-31]

The main risk in domestic resource mobilisation and execution is that ambition is stated without teachers, maintenance, support or reliable release. In examining domestic resource mobilisation and execution, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on domestic resource mobilisation and execution, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the domestic finance, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on domestic resource mobilisation and execution, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-04]

The required policy response for domestic resource mobilisation and execution is to cost duties, protect equitable allocations and monitor execution to learner services. Within evidence on domestic resource mobilisation and execution, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on domestic resource mobilisation and execution, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting domestic resource mobilisation and execution, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-04] [REF-11]

Needs-based and equity-oriented allocation

Needs-based and equity-oriented allocation defines an annual-monitoring question for the distributional finance. For needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, the relevant population or responsible units are learners and localities facing different barriers and costs, and the direct evidence concerns resource incidence. In examining needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-12] [REF-14] [REF-31]

The main risk in needs-based and equity-oriented allocation is that equal nominal allocations preserve unequal service where need and remoteness differ. In examining needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the distributional finance, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-12]

The required policy response for needs-based and equity-oriented allocation is to use transparent need and cost factors and trace receipt and service. Within evidence on needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-12] [REF-14]

Evidence for the distributional finance should be selected by coverage. For policy on needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations.

For decisions about needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-14] [REF-31]

Equity is embedded in needs-based and equity-oriented allocation. In interpreting needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, relevant comparisons may concern sex, poverty, location, disability, language, migration, displacement, age or education route. For decisions about needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of needs-based and equity-oriented allocation, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure.

International finance and alignment

International finance and alignment defines an annual-monitoring question for the external education finance. For international finance and alignment, the relevant population or responsible units are countries and systems receiving grants, loans and humanitarian support, and the direct evidence concerns predictability, additionality and alignment. In examining international finance and alignment, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on international finance and alignment, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on international finance and alignment, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-04] [REF-07] [REF-11]

The main risk in international finance and alignment is that parallel projects fragment pay, curriculum, records and recurrent obligations. In examining international finance and alignment, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on international finance and alignment, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the external education finance, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on international finance and alignment, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-04]

The required policy response for international finance and alignment is to align to public standards, national information, full cost and transition. Within evidence on international finance and alignment, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on international finance and alignment, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting international finance and alignment, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-04] [REF-07]

Evidence for the external education finance should be selected by coverage.

Selecting material improvement questions defines an annual-monitoring question for the review focus. For selecting material improvement questions, the relevant population or responsible units are learners and staff affected by institutional conditions, and the direct evidence concerns rights risk and decision value. In examining selecting material improvement questions, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on selecting material improvement questions, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on selecting material improvement questions, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-11] [REF-22] [REF-34] [REF-38]

The main risk in selecting material improvement questions is that review expands into routine description and obscures urgent learner-facing gaps. In examining selecting material improvement questions, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on selecting material improvement questions, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the review focus, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on selecting material improvement questions, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-11] [REF-22]

The required policy response for selecting material improvement questions is to prioritise population affected, educational consequence and authority to respond. Within evidence on selecting material improvement questions, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on selecting material improvement questions, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply.

Diagnosing causes without blaming learners

Diagnosing causes without blaming learners defines an annual-monitoring question for the institutional diagnosis. For diagnosing causes without blaming learners, the relevant population or responsible units are groups experiencing an observed gap, and the direct evidence concerns plausible explanation. In examining diagnosing causes without blaming learners, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on diagnosing causes without blaming learners, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on diagnosing causes without blaming learners, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-13] [REF-14] [REF-22] [REF-38]

The main risk in diagnosing causes without blaming learners is that disparity is attributed to motivation or culture without testing service conditions. In examining diagnosing causes without blaming learners, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on diagnosing causes without blaming learners, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the institutional diagnosis, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on diagnosing causes without blaming learners, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-13] [REF-14]

The required policy response for diagnosing causes without blaming learners is to compare teaching, timing, cost, language, safety, support and evidence limitations. Within evidence on diagnosing causes without blaming learners, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on diagnosing causes without blaming learners, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting diagnosing causes without blaming learners, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-14] [REF-22]

Evidence for the institutional diagnosis should be selected by coverage. For policy on diagnosing causes without blaming learners, administrative records can describe registered learners, institutions and services; household evidence can reveal people outside provision and living barriers; assessment can describe learning for a stated target population; participatory evidence can explain use and harm; and humanitarian sources can identify mobile populations. In interpreting diagnosing causes without blaming learners, for diagnosing causes without blaming learners, each source needs a definition, date, coverage, group detail and principal limitation. For decisions about diagnosing causes without blaming learners, divergence should be investigated before figures are combined.[REF-22] [REF-38]

Equity is embedded in diagnosing causes without blaming learners. In interpreting diagnosing causes without blaming learners, relevant comparisons may concern sex, poverty, location, disability, language, migration, displacement, age or education route. For decisions about diagnosing causes without blaming learners, every reported gap should retain component levels and population shares. Within the annual account of diagnosing causes without blaming learners, intersections require sufficient precision and safe disclosure. For diagnosing causes without blaming learners, if part of groups experiencing an observed gap cannot be observed reliably, the missing population and likely effect on plausible explanation should remain visible rather than being absorbed into a national or regional average.[REF-13] [REF-38]

Interpretation of plausible explanation should separate commitment, implementation and outcome. For decisions about diagnosing causes without blaming learners, for diagnosing causes without blaming learners, an announced policy or budget does not establish delivery, and concurrent improvement does not establish attribution. Within the annual account of diagnosing causes without blaming learners, the annual account should trace authority and resources to institutional receipt, service use, learning and progression while testing alternative explanations. For diagnosing causes without blaming learners, regional comparison should retain country and subnational context. In examining diagnosing causes without blaming learners, all claims should be dated so that evidence or institutional changes after 14 November 2016 are not read backwards.[REF-14] [REF-22] [REF-38]

Choosing a bounded improvement measure

Choosing a bounded improvement measure defines an annual-monitoring question for the improvement choice. For choosing a bounded improvement measure, the relevant population or responsible units are learners intended to benefit from institutional change, and the direct evidence concerns fit, reach and dosage. In examining choosing a bounded improvement measure, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on choosing a bounded improvement measure, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on choosing a bounded improvement measure, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-11] [REF-13] [REF-34] [REF-39]

The main risk in choosing a bounded improvement measure is that a fashionable activity is selected without connection to the diagnosed barrier. In examining choosing a bounded improvement measure, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on choosing a bounded improvement measure, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the improvement choice, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on choosing a bounded improvement measure, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-11] [REF-13]

The required policy response for choosing a bounded improvement measure is to state causal expectation, beneficiary, delivery, risk and later evidence. Within evidence on choosing a bounded improvement measure, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on choosing a bounded improvement measure, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting choosing a bounded improvement measure, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-13] [REF-34]

Assigning ownership, finance and milestones

Assigning ownership, finance and milestones defines an annual-monitoring question for the improvement ownership. For assigning ownership, finance and milestones, the relevant population or responsible units are bodies controlling staff, timetable, materials and support, and the direct evidence concerns authority and delivery. In examining assigning ownership, finance and milestones, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on assigning ownership, finance and milestones, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on assigning ownership, finance and milestones, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-03] [REF-22] [REF-34] [REF-38]

The main risk in assigning ownership, finance and milestones is that recommendations lack an owner, recurrent resources or a learner-facing date. In examining assigning ownership, finance and milestones, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on assigning ownership, finance and milestones, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the improvement ownership, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on assigning ownership, finance and milestones, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-03] [REF-22]

The required policy response for assigning ownership, finance and milestones is to name one owner, supporting duties, budget, milestone and escalation. Within evidence on assigning ownership, finance and milestones, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on assigning ownership, finance and milestones, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting assigning ownership, finance and milestones, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-22] [REF-34]

Verifying delivery and necessary adaptation

Verifying delivery and necessary adaptation defines an annual-monitoring question for the delivery fidelity. For verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, the relevant population or responsible units are learners and staff experiencing the changed measure, and the direct evidence concerns reach, quality and burden. In examining verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-11] [REF-13] [REF-22] [REF-39]

The main risk in verifying delivery and necessary adaptation is that completion of activities is reported although intended learners did not receive them. In examining verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the delivery fidelity, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-11] [REF-13]

The required policy response for verifying delivery and necessary adaptation is to verify actual reach and quality and adapt when conditions differ from diagnosis. Within evidence on verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply. In interpreting verifying delivery and necessary adaptation, if equivalence cannot be reached immediately, the limitation, protective minimum, restorative action and review date should be public.[REF-13] [REF-22]

Learner, family and educator participation

Learner, family and educator participation defines an annual-monitoring question for the improvement participation. For learner, family and educator participation, the relevant population or responsible units are people experiencing provision and proposed change, and the direct evidence concerns influence and safe voice. In examining learner, family and educator participation, the report should begin with the public entitlement or policy purpose, then identify who can act and what learner-facing condition is expected to change. Within evidence on learner, family and educator participation, a broad commitment needs a national and local chain of responsibility. For policy on learner, family and educator participation, the evidence should make clear whether it describes a law, financed measure, delivered service, learner participation, learning or later progression.[REF-23] [REF-24] [REF-35] [REF-38]

The main risk in learner, family and educator participation is that consultation occurs after decisions or represents only confident current users. In examining learner, family and educator participation, this can produce a favourable headline while concealing an inferior route, excluded group or unfulfilled responsibility. Within evidence on learner, family and educator participation, authorities should identify how people enter, use and leave the improvement participation, whether omission is concentrated and which institution controls the barrier. For policy on learner, family and educator participation, absence from a register or complaint file should not be treated as a successful outcome where mobility, fear, inaccessibility or fragmented mandates suppress reporting.[REF-23] [REF-24]

The required policy response for learner, family and educator participation is to include least-heard groups early and record how evidence changed action. Within evidence on learner, family and educator participation, the response should state authority, beneficiary population, institutional owner, supporting duties, recurrent finance, delivery date and practical remedy. For policy on learner, family and educator participation, where provision is delegated or temporary, the same substantive entitlement and information duties should apply.
