AlphaPlus Consultancy Ltd

The World Bank is supporting the Bulgarian Ministry of Education in a range of interventions to improve the quality of primary and secondary education, in particular to reduce the wide disparity between the educational outcomes obtained by students from the strongest schools and weakest schools.

AlphaPlus supported the World Bank in Bulgaria by providing literature reviews and investigations into the appropriate and effective use of school-level value-added measures as part of a portfolio of school performance measures.

AlphaPlus offered detailed support for the evaluation, feasibility study, design and development of technical value-added measures for school performance measurement. This is based on describing best practice approaches in five international jurisdictions and literature reviews and wider experience of effective implementation of value-added measures for school performance monitoring.
