Educational Policy Reform
Edit

Educational policy reform is the deliberate revision, replacement, or introduction of education policies to change how education systems are governed, financed, delivered, or evaluated in order to improve defined outcomes [1][2][3][4]. It refers to structured policy action at system, sector, or institutional level, including reforms in curriculum, assessment, teacher policy, accountability, funding, inclusion, and governance arrangements [1][2]. Educational policy reform is characterized by explicit policy goals, legal or regulatory adjustment, implementation mechanisms, and monitoring processes used to assess intended and unintended effects over time [2][3][4]. In research and practice, the term denotes systemic policy change rather than isolated classroom innovation, and it is typically analyzed in terms of effectiveness, equity, feasibility, and sustainability under specific political and institutional contexts [1][2][3][4].
