Category: Educational and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
The General Assembly,
Recalling its resolution WAR80 ("A Promotion of Basic Education"),
Emphasizing that access to a quality education provides significant economic, social, scientific, and development benefits,
Expressing concern regarding the lack of a framework for the efficient and effective achievement of learning objectives,
Further noting that its resolution WAR80 allocates significant funding towards edification without such a framework,
Believing in the benefits of an evidence-based approach to improving student learning,
- Establishes a Panel of Experts under the Global Initiative for Basic Education (henceforth the "GIBE") of the General Accounting Office (henceforth the "GAO") of the World Assembly;
- Tasks the aforementioned Panel of Experts with the creation of a fundamental framework for improving the effectiveness of education;
- Further instructs the Panel of Experts to utilize proven, evidence-based approaches including, inter alia, and when appropriate:
- Updating and improving the effectiveness of teacher training by utilizing experiential training in the classroom to complement theoretical training and evaluating potential teachers on the basis of their performance in the classroom;
- Increasing motivation and reducing absenteeism among currently employed teachers by means of professional support staff and financial incentives;
- Ensuring that newly recruited teachers are motivated and willing to learn, develop, and travel to remote areas;
- Reducing violence in schools by training teachers to utilize positive discipline rather than corporal punishment;
- Mandates that such frameworks be revised to suit the individual needs, culture, and development of individual countries or regions of a country;
- Requires that such framework provide realistic methods for improving the quality and effectiveness of education;
- Declares that such frameworks shall be prepared and published for any countries receiving financial assistance from the World Assembly for the purposes of improving education;
- Requires all such countries to adopt the aforementioned frameworks to the best of their ability in all educational institutions receiving government funding.
(OOC: This is my first resolution and my first time participating in the WA, so this proposal may very well be illegal or poorly worded or whatnot.)
