Goals of the Course | | This course aims to increase students’ understanding on the concept, practice and methodology of education policy planning and assessment in the area of educational development.
The course provides not only the theoretical overview of educational development planning and assessment, but also reviews practical steps to prepare for a national education strategic plan (NESP) and to assess the NESP implementation in a country. After reviewing the scope and dimension of education policies, the course further discusses the structure, formulation process and practical issues of NESP preparation which varies by the country’s context and situation, as well as the concepts and calculation methods of key education indicators. The course further introduces the methodologies of major assessment analysis used as a tool of policy/project assessment in both practical and academic fields. |
