Executive summary

Higher education remains the most important investment any person can make in their

future. Open school data can foster accountability and combat corruption in education, but only

when it is used effectively and any malpractice is addressed with clear consequence. The

Department of Education (DepEd) of the Philippines is a very strong advocate of freedom of

information, and is active in promoting transparency and accountability. This Policy Forum is a

great venue to craft strategies and efforts that will help advance the quality of education, with

inputs coming from a strategic mix of people who are devoted to education and really know what

they are talking about.

Policies and capacity development initiatives must also exist to help close the gap

between information and how it is actually used to improve the quality and service delivery of

education. Open school data should not be considered only as a technical issue but rather as a

political issue, which can help modify power imbalances within education systems and can

strengthen routes towards more accountability in the sector.

The interwoven concepts of accountability and transparency seem to be the dynamic

factors which keep pushing governments towards intensified evaluation and to publish results

more openly. All has approached the questions of how to collect school performance data

optimally and the extent to which the results ought to be published, in different manners, based

on their own historical, cultural and political trajectories. If we want to turn our focus to more
recent policies or anticipate future paths, we have to look at the discursive practices which

constantly interpret, renew or challenge the legitimacy of the current evaluation practices in the

society.

The project team come up with the making of a brochure to help in informing and

disseminating the university’s approach to combat transparency and accountability to every

parents and students across campuses.
