Summary
The aim of Chapter 16, written by researchers from the University of Cambridge and Nazarbayev University, is to ask: how coherent was implementation of the Renewed Content of Education? It bridges the gap between piloting and national implementation to report and analyse the experiences found in both pilot and non-pilot schools as reform took place at two longitudinal points: two and three years after implementation. Additionally, it reports on the third-year implementation experiences found in the district and regional layers of administration that sit above schools. In essence, it considers coherence across the entire school system as framed by the experiences of, and communications and interactions between, schools, districts and regional stakeholders.
