Identifying local centers of innovation, and integrating them in the system

Our efforts rely on best practice and its deep and wide-scale implementation. We believe however that we should stay attuned to experimental and innovative initiatives which are budding in the fringes of the system. These initiatives sometimes challenge the accepted norms and offer other models for teacher communities, diagnostic methods, teacher training and school intervention. If we close the doors to them, there is the risk that even when some of these approaches achieve success they remain in the shadow of the system-wide effort.

Therefore, we invest in controlled small scale experimentation of various approaches and assist them in checking their feasibility and educational contribution.
