13. developmentprogress.org @dev_progress Conclusions Prioritising teacher upgrading alongside curriculum and pedagogy reforms are key strategies for improving teaching quality and student learning Decentralizing power to local governments, school administrators, and parents has important potential to build local involvement and support for improving education outcomes. Strong high-level commitments to prioritize education, supported by large spending increases, can open space for reforms – but increased funds alone are unlikely to automatically translate into gains in education quality.
