Using Targeted Improvement Plans to Address Persistent Learning Gaps
A global quality-improvement study of diagnosis, implementation, equity and corrective review
Evidence concerning executive summary should establish gender parity at national level can coexist with disadvantage for poor rural girls and poor urban boys. The evidence must therefore clarify how a stable completion rate may hide increasing delay, repetition or withdrawal among groups whose educational records and population denominators are weakest. The evidentiary task is therefore not simply to publish more categories. It is to construct distributions whose populations, definitions, uncertainty and limits permit fair public judgement. National education averages describe the centre of a distribution while frequently concealing the conditions of learners farthest from secured educational opportunity. A rising enrolment rate can coexist with persistent exclusion in a remote district, a poor household group or a population displaced by conflict or disaster.
