Challenging perceptions in primary education : exploring issues in practice
\"What are the beliefs that influence your professional practice? Have you ever thought about why you make the decisions you make as a teacher? What influences your teaching style? Beyond the technical skills and knowledge aspects of education, teachers and student teachers face questions which challenge their beliefs and approaches to their teaching and learning. This book contains a series of short articles which not only offer guidance on key topics but encourage the reader to engage in reflecting on their own practice. Questions explored include: - Is learning through practical work worth the effort? - What can we learn from comparisons with education in other countries? - Is there a smarter way to use digital imagery in your teaching? - What's the point of theory? Isn't teaching just a craft?\"-- Provided by publisher.

From schooling access to learning outcomes
This report finds that in developing countries over the past 15 years, high priority was accorded to increasing enrolments in primary schools, but much less attention was directed to the crucial issue of whether children are learning adequately. The report recommends that countries, the World Bank and development partners give the same emphasis to learning outcomes as to access, so that the world's increasing investments in primary education have a far greater impact on poverty reduction and national development. The World Bank is the largest provider of external financial support to education in developing world. Since 1963, it has transferred about US$36.5 billion for education, over $14 billion of which has been for primary education. Its current lending portfolio consists of about 143 operations in 88 countries amounting to US$8.4 billion. (DIPF/Orig.).

The role and impact of public-private partnerships in education
Enhancing the role of private sector partners in education can lead to significant improvements in education service delivery. However, the realization of such benefits depends in great part on the design of the partnership between the public and private sectors, on the overall regulatory framework of the country, and on the governmental capacity to oversee and enforce its contracts with the private sector. Under the right terms, private sector participation in education can increase efficiency, choice, and access to education services, particularly for students who tend to fail in traditional education settings. Private-for-profit schools across the world are already serving a vast range of usersâ€\"from elite families to children in poor communities. Through balanced public-private partnerships (PPPs) in education, governments can leverage the specialized skills offered by private organizations as well as overcome operating restrictions such as salary scales and work rules that limit public sector responses. 'The Role and Impact of Public-Private Partnerships in Education' presents a conceptualization of the issues related to PPPs in education, a detailed review of rigorous evaluations, and guidleines on how to create successful PPPs. The book shows how this approach can facilitate service delivery, lead to additional financing, expand equitable access, and improve learning outcomes. The book also discusses the best way to set up these arrangements in practice. This information will be of particular interest to policymakers, teachers, researchers, and development practitioners.

Strategies used in teaching the decimal metric system in Escuela Nueva. A systematic review
The aim of this study is to synthesise the strategies implemented in the teaching of the Decimal Metric System in the Escuela Nueva pedagogical model, through a systematic review of the literature. This literature review will focus on scientific productions found in high impact indexed journals, endorsed by H-index. To carry out the above, a qualitative methodology was used, making use of methodological guidelines established by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, bibliometric variables, and variables of interest on the content were taken into account. Likewise, strategies based on Boolean operators and key terms were used to search for research articles. One of the results obtained is the use of contexts that are close or real to the students so that they can internalise the mathematical object present in this research.

Exploring the perceptions and alternative models in accessing primary education for Datooga pastoralists in Karatu District, Tanzania
This study used the Human Rights Theory as a framework to examine the perceptions and alternative education models among the Datooga, a small pastoral community in northern and central Tanzania. A qualitative case study design was adopted, involving 48 participants, including educational officers, government officials, school heads, parents, and pupils, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document reviews, with thematic analysis applied to the data. Findings revealed that the Datooga pastoralists prioritise livestock herding over education, reflecting negative attitudes toward formal schooling. To improve access to primary education, the study identified three alternative models: establishing boarding schools, providing school meals, and introducing alternative basic education programs. Boarding schools, in particular, were emphasised as essential to reduce the burden of long commutes for children. The study also highlighted the need for a national policy tailored to pastoralists to ensure greater educational access. Additionally, education stakeholders are urged to raise awareness within the Datooga and similar communities about the value of primary education. The study underscores the importance of culturally sensitive approaches and government support in addressing educational challenges faced by pastoralist groups.
