Education policies and systems in all OECD countries are under increasing pressure to account for their effectiveness. However, the information available to policy-makers is often inadequate, either because of a lack of rigorous research, or because of the contradictions of research that does not suggest a single course of action. It is crucial that policy decisions in education are built on the best possible evidence.
The report"Evidence in Education: Linking Research and Policy" brings together international experts from a large proportion of OECD countries. It analyzes the issues facing policy-makers, researchers and stakeholders - teachers, media, parents - in using evidence in the most effective way.
The document focuses on the challenges, offers specific examples and presents the perspectives of experienced politicians.
The book provides a fresh look at the key issues facing policymakers, researchers and school administrators today.
