“…A recent systematic review finds that interventions targeting the management skills of school leaders (e.g. principals) are also positively associated with student test score gains (Anand et al, 2023). Their improved practices should translate to benefits for the entire school (Anand et al, 2023).…”

“…principals) are also positively associated with student test score gains (Anand et al, 2023). Their improved practices should translate to benefits for the entire school (Anand et al, 2023). The review identifies three key factors that can limit programme effectiveness: low take-up; lack of incentives or structure for implementation of recommendations; and a lengthy causal chain between improved management practices and better student learning (Anand et al, 2023).…”

This rapid evidence review focuses on the internationalization of education, particularly in Central Asia and the Eastern Neighbourhood. It examines how education influences development outcomes, emphasising higher education's role in economic growth and human capital enhancement. The review highlights challenges in accessing quality education, especially in higher education, and addresses issues like social inequality and the exclusion of children with disabilities. Strategies for internationalization, including English language instruction, are explored, alongside efforts to counter misinformation. Despite growth in mobility and transnational education, gaps in research persist, particularly regarding the benefits of internationalisation and the effectiveness of education interventions against misinformation.

Existing strategies for improving global access to safe drinking water have met only limited success. We consider an unglamorous and often neglected dimension of drinking water infrastructure provision: cleaning. We randomly assigned caretakers of community wells to participate in a training workshop about how to clean wells. Thirteen to seventeen months later, wells with caretakers assigned to receive training have negligible rates of contamination with Escherichia coli (13 months: 2%; 17 months: 4%), while control wells have substantial rates of E. coli contamination (13 months: 14%; 17 months: 19%). Rates of contamination with any coliform bacteria are almost halved (13 months: control 55%, treated 30%; 17 months: control 77%, treated 46%). We estimate the cost of preventing exposure to coliform bacteria in drinking water to be US$0.89 per person and that, if scaled up, each US$2376 spent on the intervention could avoid the death of a child.
