School Transformation

Rubrique is contributing towards providing holistic solutions forthe looming global learning crisis. Today, the state of education is a long way from where it needs to be to promote high-quality learning for all students. Rubrique works with independent, private chain and government K–12 school systems to improve educational outcomes, ensure equity, and prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.

Our K-12 school transformation framework helps schools fundamentally reorganize, restructure, and rethink how they deliver education. The framework combines the drivers that directly impact student outcomes with the enabling elements, such as personalised learning, that create the right context for change. Not all educational inputs are alike. Rubrique’s school transformation framework defines and enables the interventions needed to effectively implement 21st century teaching-learning and promote student achievement and graduation rates.

Rubrique’s framework, where required, brings together everyone in the local education ecosystem—schooloperators, businesses, local and national partners—and creates a team that is committed to improving student outcomes. It then incorporates five elements to create the right context for change:

Effective Leadership
and Management

Establish programmes to upgrade the quality of K–12 education leadership in the schools.

Sufficient
Resources

Recommend adequate funding and robust physical and technological infrastructure for schools.

Strong
Accountability

Develop policies to hold boards of governance, schools, and teachers accountable for student outcomes.

Rigorous
Standards

Set rigorous K–12 education standards and requirements confirming to international benchmarks.

Sophisticated Data
and Measurement Systems

Create reporting systems that enable real-time decision making and accountability.
