And what must a system with good performance
do to become excellent?
In a new report published by McKinsey & Company, "How the world’s most improved school systems keep getting better", these questions and many more are addressed.
The report analyzes 20 education systems from around the world and examines how each has achieved significant, sustained, and widespread gains in student outcomes, as measured by international and national assessments. Based on more than 200 interviews with stakeholders in school systems and an analysis of some 600 interventions they carried out, the report provides comprehensive research on global school system reforms -- reform elements that can be replicated in school systems elsewhere.
This report is a follow-up to the 2007 report, “How the World’s Best Performing School Systems Come Out on Top”, which examined the common attributes of high-performing school systems.
