Implementation of the K-12 Education Reform in Qatar's Schools

To assess progress made in the first years of Qatar1s implementation of its K12 education reform, Rand analyzed data from schoollevel observations, national surveys, and national student assessments. Findings reveal that the new, Independent schools had implemented many elements of the reform, that students in these schools were performing better than students in Ministry of Education schools, and that much work was still needed to enable students to meet the new, higher standards.
