Minimum Quality

In the process of constructing post-2015 development global frameworks, education is increasingly seen globally to be a powerful tool for preparing students to enter the labor market as well as to create a peaceful and sustainable society. International and comparative educational research conducted on the achievement of the EFA goals has clearly revealed that despite important efforts accomplished in many countries, there are still serious challenges in terms of the quality of education that is offered. The paper examines the extent to which a minimum Quality of Education for All (QEFA) can be reached through effective use and application of evidence-based international and comparative educational research. Global efforts to attain QEFA are examined by investigating major international surveys of learning outcomes. The case of Arab states demonstrates diverse socio economic and political contexts of each country and should be reflected in regional strategies to achieve QEFA. Evidence from data on national, regional and international assessments indicates that low achievement is globally widespread and stronger government intervention will be needed. This research demonstrates that the diversity of learning conditions and environment across and within countries should be carefully reflected into quality assurance by enhancing each individual´s learning potentials.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jer.v3i2.8397Journal of Education and Research August 2013, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 39-58

The Impact

In the year 2000, a global agenda to achieve quality education for all children by 2015 was birthed. However, even after the lapse of this period, quality of education remained low in developing countries. In light of this, the World Bank developed a framework for assessing education quality based on six facets, namely, assessment; autonomy; accountability; attention to teachers; attention to early childhood development; and attention to culture, together called 6As. Based on this framework, this paper examines education quality and attainment in Tanzania, and how Korea, which has partnered with Tanzania can help mitigate the challenges in the sector, which the two countries have set as their priority development partnership sector. The study is qualitative analysis based on secondary data. The study finds that Tanzania has made significant progress in line with education for all, exhibited by high enrollment rates, which is above the average of sub-Saharan Africa. Nonetheless, major failures exist in regard to quality of education, occasioned by policies that are inconsistent with the 6As. In situations where proper reforms have been instituted, laxity in enforcement have played a role to undermine quality. Moreover, Korea’s support to Tanzania does not involve significant cross-border financial flows. As a result, the impact of its assistance on local education system is limited. The paper recommends significant reforms in education management. Korea can leverage its partnership with Tanzania to initiate stakeholder dialog in areas of necessary reforms. It should also increase cross-border financial flows and provide technical assistance to Tanzania’s based on its success with education reforms.

Educational Paradigms

There are insufficient resources to continue with the existing educational paradigm. This article analyses the natural dynamics of educational paradigms and sets out an educational model for the near future. The research examined basic educational patterns and their current state of development, and investigated the barriers to improving the quality of education and how they may be overcome. It offers a criticism of existing educational paradigms and how they have changed over time, and then constructs proposals for a number of features of a new educational paradigm. This leads to the formulation of a new educational paradigm for the near future with a number of distinctive features. At its centre are ideas of transformation ‘gates’ of education and their functional invariants. The notions set out in the article are intended for developers of educational systems, environments, and programs for rapidly maturing students and adults. This will enable us to overcome the deficiencies in current approaches to education, and focus on advanced mastery of the future, in which the current educational standards are extremely out of date.

The priority direction of modern education around the world is to ensure its high quality, based on the fundamental nature of knowledge and the development of students’ creative competencies. Simultaneously, the factors determining new requirements for the assessment and measurement of the quality of education are becoming more obvious and relevant. The setting of such tasks today is aggravated by the processes of globalization, which require collective intelligence, the consolidation of knowledge and world experience, considered as one of the effective ways of developing national educational systems. In this regard, a master’s program for measuring and evaluating the quality of education in a network form was implemented with the participation of the Moscow City University and Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University. It is worthy of highlighting that Kazakhstan needs specialists in the field of education quality assessment and pedagogical measurements. The Institute of System Projects at Moscow City University. has enough experience and is also known to be an expert in this industry. Therefore, an agreement on the exchange of this experience was signed bilaterally. Thus, the master’s program has changed the educational process of the main pedagogical university of the country. New aspects of cooperation between the two major universities have been opened.

This study aims to examine the role of mathematical achievement in explaining cultural differences in neuropsychological performance. A comprehensive neuropsychological battery was administrated to 54 individuals from two different cultures: (27 Spaniard and 27 Colombians). Several studies have demonstrated that the quality of education measured by reading ability tests may explain cultural differences in neuropsychological test performance. These studies have been conducted mostly among English speakers within the same educational system. Being a non-phonemic language, English allows for the reading of low-frequency words to be used as a measure of the quality of education. However, this might not be useful in the case of phonemic languages, such as Spanish. Moreover, it is difficult to compare the quality of education measured by reading ability in cultures with different languages or different educational systems. The results of this study reveal significant differences between these group on the majority of neuropsychological tests. All these differences disappeared when the effect of mathematical achievement was controlled. Thus, mathematical achievement may be considered as a measure of quality of education when studying cultural neuropsychological differences.
