Responsive School Systems
Connecting Facilities, Sectors and Programmes for Student Success
This report on Responsive School Systems is the second in a series of thematic comparative
reports bringing together findings from the OECD’s School Resources Review. Evolving
educational objectives, changing student needs and demographic developments require
school systems to be highly responsive to new patterns of demand and adapt their provision
accordingly. The organisation of school facilities, sectors and programmes plays a
key role in doing so and in providing students with a high-quality education where
they need it. The report aims to assist governments in organising school infrastructures
and services to achieve their education policy objectives and to ensure that resources
are used effectively and equitably. It offers a systematic analysis of the governance
of school networks, their adaption to demographic changes and student needs in urban,
rural and remote areas, as well as the vertical and horizontal co-ordination of education
services to improve students’ transitions.
