• Review public objectives of education systems
• Strengthen the knowledge base: causality; national divergences;
indicators• Explore implications for pedagogy,
assessment and qualifications• Stronger ‘cost-benefit’ analyses• Promote intersectoral dialogue on effects

• Measurable now vs what should count
• Specification and interpretation
