Educational Policy Recommendations Based on TERCE

Recommendations for Educational Policies in Latin America based on TERCE have been elaborated on request of the Regional Office of Education for Latin America and the Caribbean, OREALC/UNESCO Santiago. This publication is aimed at educational policy makers. For LLECE, decision-making is based on evidence and anchored to conceptual models that allow for the adequate interpretation of reality. This document fulfills this purpose, since it has the fundamental characteristic of translating the conclusions drawn from the TERCE into policy and educational practice. In this sense, the empirical evidence provided by the study shows the main factors that influence the achievement of learning, which represent concrete challenges of educational policy.
