A new RISE working paper, describing the development of an expanded survey tool, presents research findings that could be used to help systematically measure management practices in schools in developing countries, and pinpoint where they can be improved. Authors Renata Lemos and Daniela Scur (both with the Centre for Economic Performance at London School of Economics) have taken an existing tool used by the World Management Survey (WMS) and expanded its model in order to better consider the strength of measurement practices in the public sector of developing countries.
