While most Palestinian children are in school, performance on assessments indicates that many of them are not learning as much as they could. This represents not only inefficiency in the use of public resources, but also a lost opportunity for individual students and the society as a whole. The current study was carried out by the Assessment and Evaluation Department (AED) of the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) with technical and financial support from the World Bank. The analysis presented in this paper was prepared by the World Bank team as a complement to a previous paper prepared by a team of experts from AED. For the purposes of this study, schools were classified by student performance in TIMSS 2011 and the 2012 Palestinian national exams. Classroom and school-based tools were then used to gather information from both high and low-performing schools. A total of 122 public, private and United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) schools were surveyed using four different instruments: (i) stalling's classroom observations; (ii) school leadership survey; (iii) teacher survey; and, (iv) school facilities survey, which are all provided in annex one.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SCHOOLINGACHIEVEMENT LEVELACTIVE PARTICIPATIONADULTSASSESSMENT TOOLSAVERAGE SCOREBEHAVIORAL CHANGECLASS ACTIVITIESCLASS DISCUSSIONSCLASS TIMECLASSROOMCLASSROOM ACTIVITIESCLASSROOM EXPERIENCECLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONCLASSROOM LEVELCLASSROOM MANAGEMENTCLASSROOM PERFORMANCECLASSROOM PRACTICECLASSROOM SPACECLASSROOM TEACHERCLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOM TIMECLASSROOM VISITSCLASSROOMSCOLLEGE DEGREECOLLEGE LEVELCOMMITMENT TO EDUCATIONCOMPUTER SOFTWARECOOPERATIVE LEARNINGCRITICAL THINKINGCROSS-FERTILIZATIONCURRICULUMDEGREESEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENTECONOMICS OF EDUCATIONEDUCATION DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION REFORMEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SECTOR DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION STRATEGYEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL EXPENDITURESEDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCEEDUCATORSEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONEFFECTIVE SCHOOLSEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEFFECTIVE TEACHINGEIGHTH GRADE STUDENTSELEMENTARY TEACHERSELEMENTSENROLLMENT RATESENROLLMENT RATIOENROLMENT RATEENROLMENT RATESENROLMENTSEXAMEXPENDITURESEXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIESFIELD WORKFRIENDLY SCHOOLGENERAL EDUCATIONGIRLSGRADE LEVELSGRADE SCIENCEGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATIOHIGH SCHOOLHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER GRADESHIGHER LEARNINGHIGHER LEVELS OF EDUCATIONHIGHER STUDENT LEARNINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINSTRUCTIONAL TIMEINTERACTIVE LEARNINGINTERVENTIONSJOB SATISFACTIONKNOWLEDGE BASELABOUR MARKETLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING IMPACTSLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OUTCOMESLESSON PLANNINGLESSON PLANSLEVEL OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLITERATURELOW-INCOME STUDENTSMALE STUDENTSMATHEMATICSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL ASSESSMENTNATIONAL ASSESSMENTSNATIONAL EXAMINATION SYSTEMNATIONAL EXAMSNUMBER OF SCHOOLSNUMBER OF STUDENTSNUTRITIONOFFICIAL CURRICULUMPARENT EDUCATIONPARENT PARTICIPATIONPARENTAL INVOLVEMENTPARENTAL SUPPORTPARTICIPATION OF STUDENTSPEER TUTORINGPERFORMANCE IN MATHPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPHYSICAL ABUSEPHYSICAL EDUCATIONPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPROBLEM SOLVINGPROFESSIONAL CAPITALPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALITY EDUCATIONQUALITY INSTRUCTIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGQUALITY TEACHINGREADINGREFUGEESRESEARCH LITERATURERESEARCHERSRURAL SCHOOLSALARY INCREASESSCHOOL ACTIVITIESSCHOOL ADMINISTRATIONSCHOOL AGED CHILDRENSCHOOL BUILDINGSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL CLASSROOMSSCHOOL COMMITTEESSCHOOL COMMUNITYSCHOOL CULTURESCHOOL DIRECTORSSCHOOL DUTIESSCHOOL ENROLMENTSCHOOL ENVIRONMENTSCHOOL FACILITIESSCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEARNINGSCHOOL MANAGEMENTSCHOOL MAPPINGSCHOOL MATERIALSSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL PROJECTSSCHOOL SCIENCESCHOOL SPACESCHOOL SUPPORTSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLSSCIENCE INSTRUCTIONSECONDARY EDUCATIONSERVICE TRAININGSPORTSSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ATTAINMENTSTUDENT ENGAGEMENTSTUDENT INVOLVEMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT OUTCOMESSTUDENT PARTICIPATIONSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT POPULATIONSTUDENT POPULATIONSSTUDENT SCORESSTUDENT SUPPORTSUBJECT KNOWLEDGESUBJECT MATTERSUBJECTSTEACHERTEACHER CERTIFICATIONTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER MONITORINGTEACHER PER SCHOOLTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER PREPARATIONTEACHER STANDARDSTEACHER SUPPORTTEACHER TEACHERTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHING METHODSTEACHING TECHNIQUESTERMS OF STUDENT PERFORMANCETEST SCORESTRAINING ACTIVITIESTRAINING OF TEACHERSTRAINING PROGRAMSTYPES OF SCHOOLSVISUAL AIDS10.1596/20005
