About this title

Synopsis

Describes the first phase (2001-2004) of Qatar's bold K12 education reform initiative, Education for a New Era, based on Rand's experiences as part of this ambitious, multiparticipant effort. Rand examined the existing Qatari education system, recommended options for building a worldclass system, and supported implementation of the chosen option, which is based on internationally benchmarked curriculum standards and parental choice of schools.
