Abstract:
|
This paper utilizes data from the Service Delivery Indicator Surveys, a recent data initiative led by the World Bank in Africa, to provide an overview of the learning experiences of primary school pupils in Nigeria. The paper will combine data from classroom observations, teacher assessments and pupil assessments to explore how teachers allocate their teaching time and assess their quality of instruction in comparison to international benchmarks. It analyses the relationship between the quality of instruction and teacher characteristics and its impact on pupil learning outcomes to understand the link between teacher knowledge, behavior and pupil learning outcomes.
