Promoting transparency through information: A global review of school report cards

In an era of growing public access to information, how can data be better used to encourage transparency and accountability in the education sector? Based on an in-depth review of 14 school report card (SRC) initiatives from around the world, this study examines various models and the conditions that allow them to positively impact levels of transparency and accountability in education systems. The book includes the formulation of an index which aims to help policy-makers and programme implementers clearly identify which elements of school-level information can lead to increased accountability and transparency, and, as a result, make informed decisions about how to use SRCs to improve integrity in education.
