Improving Education Quality in Indonesia’s Poor Rural and Remote Areas

In Indonesia, one in five teachers are absent from schools. The KIAT Guru pilot provides evidence-based policy recommendations to improve teacher presence, teacher service performance, and student learning outcomes. The impact evaluation was conducted in 270 disadvantaged villages, improving the capacity of 1,800 community representatives and the accountability of 1,700 teachers, all of which serve about 26,000 elementary school students.
