Open School Data: What Planners Need to Know; Ethics and Corruption in Education

Open school data refers to the action of sharing school-level information with the general public, either in paper or electronic format. Generated by government authorities or civil society organizations, the data – often in the form of a school report card – can help monitor the services provided by a school. To be useful, data should be comprehensive, relevant, accurate, accessible, and timely. Topics covered can include funding, teacher attendance, student achievement, availability of facilities, equipment, and materials.
