This book is based on the papers and debates presented at the Policy Forum on 'Cross-national Studies of the Quality of Education: Planning their Design and Managing their Impact' held in Paris in 2004. An overview of terminology, concepts and definitions related to cross-national studies on the quality of education is followed by an examination of three key educational policy research design questions: 'What will be measured?', 'Who will be measured?' and 'What are the financial and logistical costs?'. Rounding off the volume are case studies that illustrate how ministries of education and international organizations disseminate the results of cross-national studies of the quality of education.--Publisher's description.
