Accountability and global education policy networks in the Indo-Pacific

该项目旨在通过对比孟加拉国和柬埔寨这两个澳大利亚的印度洋-太平洋援助伙伴国的评估方法，调查当代教育改革是如何在低收入背景下展开的。在全球范围内，有2.5亿儿童不识字或算数，而且不平等现象正在加剧。作为回应，全球政策网络正在投资于评估和问责措施，以改善成果。这项研究旨在了解与这些改革努力相关的政策，为澳大利亚改善印度-太平洋地区教育的战略目标做出贡献。预期的结果是制定与社会政策广泛相关的可持续、参与性问责制做法的原则。

This project aims to investigate how contemporary education reforms unfold in low-income contexts through contrasting assessment approaches in Bangladesh and Cambodia, Australia’s Indo-Pacific aid partner nations. Globally, 250 million children cannot read or count, and inequities are increasing. In response, global policy networks are investing in assessment and accountability measures to improve outcomes. This study aims to understand policy relevant to these reform efforts, contributing to Australia’s strategic goal of improving education in the Indo-Pacific. The expected outcome is the development of principles for sustainable, participatory accountability practices with wide relevance in social policy.
