PUBLICATION OF NEW RESEARCH FROM CfBT EDUCATION TRUST ON SCHOOL EFFECTIVENESS

New research by leading education charity CfBT Education Trust has recently been launched at the House of Lords. The research report School Change to Improve Effectiveness was the focal point of the evening event on January 12, 2010 which was chaired by Lord Moser.

The report offers advice and guidance for headteachers in developing countries, particularly post-conflict countries and fragile states, and draws on a research project conducted in Angola which has concluded that a relatively small input can change a culture that has been shaped by conflict and can enable children to aspire to a life without poverty. The report identifies some of the key factors that can improve the effectiveness of a school even if it has minimal resources and ensure that both teachers and pupils can contribute more effectively to school life.
