Study on policies promoting innovative pedagogies that are effective in tackling low achievement in basic skills

The concept of innovative pedagogies for the purposes of this study should be understood as something ‘new’ to a given context in terms of teaching practice with an emphasis, whenever possible, on identifying those which have proven to be effective. Innovation can be based on the adoption of pedagogies which are more or less available in another context whether it is a country, region, school or to a particular teacher or can refer to the introduction of something completely new.
