Politics of Learning - 3. The politics and governance of basic education (part 1) - Levy

Unit: Politics of Learning Lecture 3: "The politics and governance of basic education (part 1)" Lecturer: Brian Levy (Johns Hopkins University and University of Cape Town) The political economy approach suggests that there are political dynamics to both supporting and hampering successful education reform and a sustained improvement in learning. This unit will focus on the political, social, institutional and historical environment in which education systems are embedded. Understanding the variation in successful adoption and delivery of reforms across countries - and within countries over-time across political regimes - requires a deeper understanding of the power relations among a broad range of interest groups - and priorities, incentives, and decisions of politicians, governments and policy makers. The students will learn about the frameworks developed to understand the ways in which politics can impact education outcomes and the channels of impact. Political economy studies from different countries will be referenced.
