Reform-minded leaders of Qatar, who have embarked on a sweeping reform of their nation's education system, asked RAND to evaluate their education finance system and offer suggestions for improvements. The authors analyze the system's evolution and resource allocation patterns between 2004 and 2006 and develop analytic tools for performing the evaluation, including a framework that allows assessment of the system in light of six main objectives.

To assess progress made in the first years of Qatar's implementation of its K-12 education reform, RAND analyzed data from school-level observations, national surveys, and national student assessments. Findings reveal that the new, Independent schools had implemented many elements of the reform, that students in these schools were performing better than students in Ministry of Education schools, and that much work was still needed to enable students to meet the new, higher standards.

Presents an overview of Phase I (2001-2004) of Qatar's bold K-12 education reform initiative, Education for a New Era, based on RAND's experiences in this ambitious, multi-participant effort. RAND examined Qatar's existing education system, recommended options for building a world-class system, and supported implementation of the chosen option, which is based on internationally benchmarked curriculum standards and parental choice of schools.
