Getting schools to work better is a challenge just about everywhere. Many policy experts prescribe measures for strengthening school accountability, either through government command and control or through alternative market and societal actors. In challenging this conventional wisdom, this book examines how China and India are tackling the challenge with a specific focus on supporting teachers along with traditional accountability-strengthening measures. The book draws implications from its case studies for how education systems can be designed towards the fulfilment of Sustainable Development Goal 4. It further develops the concept of "Accountability 3.0" to elucidate a novel and more holistic reconceptualisation of the appropriate means needed to fulfil multiple purposes of accountability, in which providing support to frontline workers is viewed as an integral component. This book will appeal to a wide spectrum of scholars and practitioners in the fields of comparative education, public administration, public policy and development studies, among others. It will be especially interesting to those from the developing world facing similar accountability challenges as described. 2024-03-04T17:00:11Z 2024-03-04T17:00:11Z 2024 chapter 9781032136677 9781032136691 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/88135 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781003230380_10.4324_9781003230380-1.pdf Taylor & Francis Getting Schools to Work Better Routledge 10.4324/9781003230380-1 10.4324/9781003230380-1 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb 1b1aeb08-e41c-4238-a90b-a9af644e0d9e 550d36f1-1bce-4aad-be52-415b7cd61cd5 9781032136677 9781032136691 Routledge 20 University of Southampton University of Southampton UK open access
