  3. TIMSS: Math Performance for Bulgaria and its Neighbors

  4. PISA: PISA Math Performance for Bulgaria and its Neighbors

  5. Разпределение на резултатите по математика от PISA: 2000 до 2006 г.

  6. Percent of Students by PISA Math Proficiency Level 2006

  7. PISA 2006 Math Achievement by Sub-groups

  8. Conclusions from PISA 2006 Results • Extremely high between-school variation of test scores • Lower performance of small schools • Lower performance of students with lower socio-economic status, including students from linguistic minorities • Linguistic minority students performed better in small schools than in bigger schools. • Up to 2006 there is no correlational evidence that school-based management improves learning outcomes

  9. WHY? • WHY DO WE USE DATA FROM 2006 ? • WHY DO WE USE DATA FROM PISA AND TIMMS? • WHY NOT NATIONAL EXTERNAL ASSESSMENTS DATA? • WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR THESE RESULTS?

  10. Recommendations • Set specific targets for future rounds of international assessments • Make the external student assessment system more stable and sustainable • Improve quality of test items • Increase student coverage of external student assessment tests • Improve procedures, integrity and credibility of test taking • Collect more data for students • Analyze results and disseminate to all stakeholders – parents, schools, Inspectorates, MEYS

  11. HIGHER QALITY: HOW? • Strengthening autonomy and accountability frameworks • National programs providing incentives for higher performance and support to low-performing schools • Scholarships, cash awards, rewarding teachers • Comprehensive schooling to age 16 • Focus on linguistic minorities and small schools • Expand ECD programs

  12. EQUITY: OUTSTANDING CHALLENGES • School network optimization process led to increased dropout rates • Inadequate coordination at local level and control at central level over the implementation of measures supporting focal schools

  13. EQUITY: OUTSTANDING CHALLENGES(continued) • Inadequate control and supervision of the correct implementation of school attendance conditionality attached to social assistance benefits • Poor performance at school of linguistic minority students

  14. IMPROVING EQUITY: HOW? • Effective representation of parents with low socio economic status, incl. linguistic minority groups in future councils of school boards • Better coordination and control of focal schools programs • Improved control over conditional cash transfers • Increased efforts for socialization of linguistic minority students, especially in big cities
