Synopsis

How do we identify and measure how schools function? This publication examines this question and asks how these functions - attribution of human resources, decision-making, the curriculum, internal organization and instructional quality - can be expressed as comparable indicators. In its contribution to a better understanding and comparisons of school operations across countries, this volume considers the basics for selecting and identifying indicators, their political relevance, empirical justification, and strengths and weaknesses.
