The Report presents case studies from 11 countries (Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Egypt, Finland, Republic of Korea, Senegal, South Africa and Sri Lanka) showing how both rich and developing nations are tackling the quality issue. It also proposes a series of policy measures to improve the quality of education, emphasizing that although there are no universal recipes, a robust long-term vision for education, strong government leadership, and a motivated, well-supported teaching corps are conditions for successful qualitative reforms.
