Abstract:
|
This paper provides an overview of evaluation protocols used in international education projects with examples from planned rigorous impact evaluation designs to unplanned evaluation post program implementation across Africa and the Middle East. We review standard designs used for evaluation, discuss the state of the art in terms of survey design and data collection, and analyze international data with respect to the impact of various interventions on education performance. The paper considers a wide variety of data sources, both primary and secondary, evaluates current approaches, and recommends methods for improving education interventions through superior evaluation methodologies.
