• Provide temporary solutions to crises

Which of the following is NOT part of the policy formulation process?

• Problem identification

• Drafting policy options

• Legitimization

• Execution of programs

A strategic plan that lacks clear policies often leads to:

• Inconsistent practices and fragmented reforms

• Higher efficiency in schools

• Effective resource allocation

• Streamlined monitoring systems

The role of research and data gathering in policy formulation is to:

• Monitoring

• Execution

• Legitimization

• Agenda setting

Which activity ensures that schools are prepared to adapt policies in their context?

• Problem identification

• Drafting options

A major challenge in implementing new education policies is:
