30 Education policy implementation: from top down to horizontal

31 Dimensions of effective policy implementation Smart policy design Policy at least partially defined before implemented. Justification, validity of causal theory and goals, complementarity with policies and feasibility to be considered. Inclusive stakeholder engagement actors can interpret, react and influence implementation. Including them throughout the process facilitates success. A conducive context A coherent implementation strategy The process features are adapted to the structures of its system at a given time, to the particular actors, and around the specific educational policy. Outlines concrete measures to make the policy design operational, with sufficient resources, capacity building, communications, and engaging stakeholders. 31

34 To conclude An international overview: can provide elements, principles and support for education reform. There is no one model for success. Each education system can reach results combining policies based on evidence and implementation processes adapted to the context and concrete challenge. Key to focus on schools and students; investment in developing SLO and engagement of stakeholders.
