Background

Over the past decade, Indonesia has
substantially increased its spending on education and now many more millions of
children are in school. There is a significant void in knowledge about what
teachers in Indonesia are teaching in the classroom, what the primary constraints
they face are, and how teaching quality can be more efficiently and effectively
improved. The Government of Australia (GOA), through the Australian Department
of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), is seeking to assist the Government of
Indonesia (GOI) to fill this void by establishing Innovation for Indonesia’s
School Children (INOVASI).

The Program

INOVASI is an ambitious new four-year (with the possibility of an extension for another four), AUD 49million program. It will collaborate closely with the GOI at
the district, provincial and national level to develop and implement
action-oriented research and pilots to answer the broad question: “What works to improve student learning
outcomes in Indonesia?” It will focus on three sub-topics of investigation:
the quality of teaching in the classroom, the quality of support for teachers,
and learning for all. INOVASI is managed by Palladium on behalf of DFAT, and will
formally started on 18 January 2016.
