Abstract
The study sought to assist governments
in introducing school-focused programming into reforms of
primary education. The included: (i) an assessment of how
well 26 World Bank-assisted project designs for primary
education met criteria for educational effectiveness; (ii)
the preparation of a user-friendly framework of factors that
determine school effectiveness; and (iii) the development of
a methodology for helping African educators define and
prioritize school-based definitions and indicators of
educational effectiveness. When African educators are given
a structured opportunity to reflect on their knowledge of
their education systems, they will successfully identify and
plan concrete school-level improvements. It takes time to
change entrenched habits of thinking about school reform.
