Cross-National Synthesis on Education Quality Report No. 1
The Cross-national Synthesis of Education Quality is a comparative qualitative study designed to generate information on factors that influence quality at the school, classroom, and community levels across national contexts. The synthesis draws information on quality of education from a series of pilot studies carried out under the USAID-funded Education Quality Improvement Program 1 (EQUIP1) Leader Award. Each of the pilot studies tracks quality factors in the context of specific program inputs. The EQUIP1 pilot studies included in the present report are the Pilot Study on Teacher Professional Development in Namibia, the Pilot Study on Education in Islamic Schools in Nigeria, and the Pilot Study on a Transitional Education Program for Out-of-School Girls in India.
