• Acknowledge divergent views and interests

• Communicate, communicate, communicate

– Feedback reduces the likelihood of strong opposition

– Involvement of stakeholders cultivates a sense of joint ownership over policies, and hence helps build consensus over both the need and the relevance of reforms

• Mechanisms of regular and institutionalised consultation contribute to the development of trust among parties, and help them reach consensus

– Regular interactions raise awareness of the concerns of others, thus fostering a climate of compromise

• External pressures can be used to build a compelling case for change .

48 Successful reform implementation

• Regular involvement by stakeholders in policy design helps to build capacity and shared ideas over time

• Several countries have established teaching councils that provide teachers and other stakeholder groups with both a forum for policy development and, critically, a mechanism for profession-led standard setting and quality assurance in teacher education, teacher induction, teacher performance and career development

• Policy can encourage the formation of such communities .

• Currently only one in ten educational reforms is evaluated

• Policy experimentation can help build consensus on implementation and can prove powerful in testing out policy initiatives and – by virtue of their temporary nature and limited scope – overcoming fears and resistance by specific groups of stakeholders.

• All political players and stakeholders need to develop realistic expectations about the pace and nature of reforms to improve outcomes

• Certain reform measures are best introduced before others, particularly because of the substantial gap between the time at which the initial cost of reform is incurred, and the time when the intended benefits of reforms materialise

• Time is needed to learn about and understand impact, to build trust and develop capacity for the next stage .

53 Successful reform implementation

• Putting the teaching profession at the heart of education reform requires a fruitful dialogue between governments and unions

• Teachers should not just be part of the implementation of reforms but also part of their design

• Conflict isn’t best addressed by weak unions but by strong social partnership .

unions to design and implement reforms
