Data Must Speak: Teacher and head teacher characteristics and exam performance

Beyond traditional sector analysis, the Ministry of Education of Ghana is invested in deepening its use of existing data to enhance education quality. This new policy brief – about the characteristics of teachers and headteachers – from the Data Must Speak (DMS) Positive Deviance Research is part of the first phase of a longer-term initiative in partnership between the MoE of Ghana, UNICEF Ghana, UNICEF Innocenti, and other partners. DMS research aims to identify and scale promising school-level practices throughout the country.
