Education for a New Era

Describes the first phase (2001-2004) of Qatar's bold K-12 education reform initiative, "Education for a New Era", based on RAND's experiences as part of this ambitious, multi-participant effort. RAND examined the existing Qatari education system, recommended options for building a world-class system, and supported implementation of the chosen option, which is based on internationally benchmarked curriculum standards and parental choice of schools.
