Global Education Policy Dashboard : School Survey 2025 Update

Overview & Synopsis

This document contains the newly developed School Survey that is part of the Global Education Policy Dashboard. The School Survey collects data primarily on Practices (the quality of service delivery in schools), but also on some de facto Policy and school-level Politics indicators. It consists of streamlined versions of existing instruments, including Service Delivery Indicator (SDI) Surveys, Teach, Global Early Child Development Database (GECDD), In-Service Teacher Training Instrument Survey (ITTSI), and the Development World Management Survey (DWMS), together with new questions to fill gaps in those instruments. Relative to the full version of these instruments, the number of items and the complexity of the questions within each module is significantly lower. The School Survey includes 8 short modules: Roster, School Information, Principal Questionnaire, Teacher Questionnaire, Classroom Observation, Teacher Assessment, Direct Assessment, and Student Assessment. For a team of two enumerators, it takes on average about 4 hours to collect all information in a given school.
