Abstract

Evaluation of Link Education International's ‘School Performance Review’ (SPR) initiative in Malawi. Aimed at understanding the extent to which SPR has been adopted, and the perceived sustainability and effectiveness of changes in school quality. The study focussed on what happens to the SPR processes and any sustained elements of Link's work after ceasing school engagement. Research design including gathering information from school leaders and education officials addressed five research questions, aimed at engaged and formerly engaged schools. Fieldwork was carried out in 2022. The report is structured to provide background on the SPR process, outline the evaluation methods, address the original questions, explore unaddressed questions, and provide a conclusion.

Item Type:Research Reports or Papers (Documentation)
Additional Information:This 49-page report was commissioned by Link Education International, following on from a previous desk-based study completed in 2019 (Hermannsson, Read & Odena, 2019). Discussions ensued immediately afterwards on conducting a more substantial second phase, the design of which was a collaborative effort between the Robert Owen Centre for Educational Change at the University of Glasgow and Link Education International. Subsequently, the research team reached out to the School of Education, in Chancellor College, the University of Malawi, which played a leading role in implementing the fieldwork. Throughout, this was a collaborative process, which benefited from the goodwill and effort of a range of people that are not responsible for the contents of this report and are listed in the Acknowledgements section.
