Open Schooling: Communicating the Basics

Abstract

I have entitled these remarks Open Schooling: Communicating the Basics.There were 20 people from the World Bank's Education Sector at my talk and we had a forty-minute question and discussion period at the end. This helped me to understand what people need to know about open schooling in order to take it seriously as a policy option.// So my plan is to set the context of the secondary surge, define open schooling, outline its development, summarise the results of the studies in India and Namibia and draw some conclusions about policy. Much of this will be familiar ground to experts like you but going through it again will enable me to flag some important issues.
