  • Summary

    In recent years, an increasing number of countries have participated in cross-national assessments in education (CNAs), but their impact remains underexplored. We argue that CNA participation increases the capacity and motivation of policymakers to implement improvements in education through mechanisms at the elite, domestic, and transnational levels. We find evidence consistent with our propositions using an original survey of 77 education officials directly responsible for the planning and implementation of CNAs in 46 countries and personal interviews with 48 officials in target states, assessment agencies, and donor agencies.
