Insight from Inovasi Volume II : Inovasi and the Reform Indonesian Education
The second volume describes what works to improve children's learning, analyses the development approaches which contribute to policy development and concludes that development assistance can be highly effective when it works within the system and adapts to the evolving context.INOVASI contributed to policy improvement, take-up, and implementation, both nationally and in its partner districts in North Kalimantan, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, and East Java. In 2016, Phase I began with a subnational emphasis; to find out what works in schools and districts to improve learning outcomes for all students. INOVASI adopted flexible development approaches, and brought stakeholders together to identify problems, pilot local solutions, and scale-out out tested strategies.INOVASI Phase II commenced in mid 2020, in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. The national government requested INOVASI's support with alternative schooling options and to address learning loss. INOVASI subsequently supported partner districts to maintain learning during the pandemic; supported teachers with the essential skills focus of the new Emergency Curriculum and, when schools reopened, to identify what learning was missing and strategise how to close the gaps.INOVASI supported the government to launch a comprehensive reform agenda for basic education, engaging closely with policy makers, providing constant feedback and exposure of national teams to effective facilitation of change at district level, and providing comprehensive support for teachers through the production of accessible resources.Throughout the program, INOVASI has proven a critical friend of government, at national and subnational levels, and ensured the program's long-term sustainability by collaborating with more than 1,000 partners by the end of Phase II.
