EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Innovation for Indonesia’s School Children (Inovasi untuk Anak Sekolah Indonesia – INOVASI)
program is a partnership between the governments of Australia and Indonesia. INOVASI includes
Indonesia’s Ministry of Education and Culture (MoEC), Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), the
National Development Planning Ministry (Bappenas) and sub-national partners in the provinces of
West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), North Kalimantan and East Java. The
program seeks to identify and support changes to education practice, systems and policy that
demonstrably accelerate improved student learning outcomes. INOVASI is managed by Palladium
on behalf of Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The program was planned
as an eight-year initiative over two phases. Phase I commenced on 18 January 2016 and concluded
on 30 June 2020. This activity completion report was prepared during a six-month transition period
(January–June 2020) as INOVASI prepared for Phase II that began in July 2020.
The goal of INOVASI is to accelerate progress towards improved learning outcomes for Indonesian
students. It focuses on three areas of investigation: quality of teaching in the classroom; quality of
support for teachers; and learning for all. INOVASI had three expected end-of-program outcomes
to achieve this goal:
1. A credible body of evidence is available of what policy and practice changes work to
improve student learning outcomes in Indonesia.
2. Decision makers have access to and use this evidence to facilitate and implement more
effective education reforms.
3. The effective policy and practice changes identified are reflected in Indonesian government
(district, provincial, national) policies, regulations, budgets and plans.1
Working closely with the Technical Assistance for Education System Strengthening (TASS) program,
INOVASI substantially achieved these three outcomes in the first phase and is set to continue
building on these achievements in Phase II. TASS was a responsive, demand-driven technical
assistance facility also funded by DFAT. Working with MoEC, MoRA and Bappenas, TASS was
designed to improve the effectiveness of policy and practice in the education sector through a
systems strengthening program that operated on a response-to-demand basis. In INOVASI Phase
II, TASS will merge into INOVASI as a technical unit.
During the first four and a half years of the program, INOVASI established itself as an adaptive,
responsive program and gained the trust of the Indonesian government as a key partner in
development. Acting as a critical friend, INOVASI supported government in making key reforms in
the system and leveraged the evidence from its pilots to broker change in both the policy and service
delivery space. Working collaboratively with Harvard’s’ Centre for International Development,
INOVASI pioneered a problem-driven iterative adaptation (PDIA) approach to supporting education
sector reform.
Previous efforts to reform education in Indonesia achieved participation rates of close to 100 per
cent for primary school children. However, learning outcomes have not improved significantly using
the traditional top-down cascade training approach. International ‘best practice’ solutions imported
over the years failed to take root in Indonesia and brief, one-off training activities have not resulted
in meaningful change to teaching practice. Thus INOVASI took a different approach in facing these
challenges by working with national and local partners, exploring the problems from their perspective
1These end-of-program outcomes were updated for Phase II as outlined in the INOVASI Phase II Design Update document
(DFAT, 2020).

vii
and then developing solutions using trial and error to achieve the best results in a given context. We
call this an iterative approach and it is a signature feature of the INOVASI program. Through this
approach, we learn together what does and doesn’t work to support sustainable improvements in
student learning over time.
INOVASI is currently working in 22 districts across four provinces: West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East
Nusa Tenggara (NTT), North Kalimantan and East Java. This includes 17 original partner districts
and five additional districts that joined in 2020 with independent funding. Over Phase I, the program
designed and implemented 110 distinct pilot activities, including 36 implemented by non-government
partners, universities and the Islamic organisations, Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)
Ma’arif. The pilots started in 2017 with Guru BAIK that used an adapted action research approach
to explore problems in the classroom. This approach helped change teachers’ mindsets –shifting
their focus from delivering the curriculum to ensuring their students were learning. Although teachers’
approaches improved significantly, the gains recorded in student learning outcomes were modest.
Learning from this experience, we adopted a cluster-based short-course approach to continuing
professional development in our second round of pilots, through routine school cluster teachers’
working group meetings over a twelve-month period. Results were encouraging and we recorded
substantial gains in students’ literacy and numeracy scores (especially in the poorer and more
remote regions). We further iterated the approach in the next round of pilots by adding a politically-
informed component to link efforts at the school cluster level with the executive branches of
government in the districts. Our aim was to link the evidence of positive changes in practice with
system-level changes at district and eventually provincial levels. The approach worked best in
districts like Bulungan in North Kalimantan and East Sumba in East Nusa Tenggara. While the initial
inputs were small in scale, the team built strong collaborative relationships with local authorities and
helped design large scale-out programs fully funded by the district. These collaborations not only
had an impact on attitudes and practices at the level of teachers and school leaders but also at the
political and executive leadership levels within government. More resources were directed at reforms
focusing on quality in the sector as a whole and the outcomes of these initiatives were subject to
more scrutiny.
These positive trends led to higher levels of co-investment and joint funding than expected from
government partners in Phase I of the program. Approximately 1,500 schools benefitted from local
government co-investment and joint funding support for key INOVASI pilot work. Between 2017 and
2019, partner district governments allocated nearly AUD1.9 million through co-investment, starting
with AUD286,000 in 2017, nearly doubling to AUD488,000 in 2018 and doubling again to AUD1.2
million in 2019. In 2020, another AUD1.2 million will bring the direct co-investment up to AUD3.1
million to date. The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to affect these 2020 commitments but the general
trend is clear – more domestic resources are going into quality-focused reforms than ever before.
While the demonstration effect of INOVASI’s pilots helped stimulate this shift in resource allocation,
we also supported our government partners in the process of optimising their planning and budgeting
processes so they had enough funds to invest in initiatives proven to promote quality in education
and improve students’ learning outcomes.
These successful pilots and scaling efforts informed both sub-national and national policy by
identifying the problems and demonstrating what can work at classroom, school and district level to
improve learning outcomes. Districts issued 51 new regulations to consolidate ongoing efforts to
improve literacy, numeracy and inclusion. The following five high-level policy and program changes
illustrate the efficacy of the approach at the national level:
viii
• The literacy pilot activity in North Kalimantan identified a problem of book availability arising
from a restrictive, centralised and slow approval process in Jakarta. Around 85 per cent of
children say they love to read but they cannot access appropriate books and literacy levels
are chronically low. Following extensive consultations, the Ministry of Education and Culture
(MoEC) issued two pivotal decrees. The first decree provides an expanded book list that now
includes pre-primary books that primary school students can use for beginning reading. The
second decree provides a broad list of approved books that includes publications by non-
governmental organisations and small publishers.
• In West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara and East Java, INOVASI developed and
piloted a Student Learning Profile (Profil Belajar Siswa) so teachers can identify children’s
disabilities and learning difficulties. In collaboration with TASS and MoEC, INOVASI
developed an application that links to MoEC’s information management system. MoEC
piloted the instrument nationally in more than 3,000 schools and trained more than 127,000
teachers or assessors to use the profile and the linking application. Lessons from the field
testing were used to refine the instrument.
• The Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) developed a continuing professional development
(CPD) program with initial technical support from TASS. MoRA is scaling out this program
nationally with a World Bank loan that also covers other areas to strengthen education
outcomes. INOVASI supported the pilot process for the program and MoRA has decided to
adopt and adapt the INOVASI modules on literacy and inclusion for this national program.
• INOVASI’s modules were approved for use in MoEC’s national continuing professional
development program in 2019, however, this program was superseded by the 2020 program.
• In early 2020, MoEC launched a large-scale, nation-wide grants program, called Program
Organisasi Penggerak (‘change agent’ program). This is the first MoEC initiative to mobilise
non-government partners to run its continuing professional development. MoEC consulted
intensively with the grants team to learn from INOVASI’s experience of implementing its
partnership program. INOVASI also provided technical support in the form of a consultant to
design the monitoring and evaluation system, and assistance in adopting the PDIA approach,
based on INOVASI’s experience. INOVASI’s modules for continuing professional
development in literacy, numeracy and inclusion are available and approved for adoption or
adaptation in this program.
• MoEC’s Program Organisasi Penggerak, is using a problem-driven iterative adaptation
(PDIA) approach specifically for grantees who have planned interventions that are yet to be
proven successful. This decision was based on INOVASI’s experience of using this
methodology.
Moving into Phase II, INOVASI will build on the momentum established in Phase I. The recent
appointment of Nadiem Makarim, a reform-focused Minister for Education and Culture, combined
with the strong working relationships and trust established in the provinces and districts between
INOVASI and TASS with government and non-government counterparts and ministerial advisors,
has created a platform for the forward agenda. The evidence from pilots and research in Phase I
provides the basis for ongoing reform. MoEC has signalled potential areas of collaboration with
INOVASI on the key reform areas of national curriculum, assessment and teacher management
policy. Partner provinces and districts are excited about potential ongoing participation in the
INOVASI partnership to improve learning outcomes.

ix
As an adaptive program, we will use the lessons from Phase I to improve the approach in Phase II.
In addition to merging INOVASI and TASS, the main change will be to reconceptualise the program
role from designer and implementer to broker, catalyst, collaborator, evaluator and communicator.
Phase II will seek a balance between pilots, scale out and systemic change – with the latter ultimate
outcome sought in Phase II. Among other things, this means a stronger, more efficient monitoring,
evaluation, research and learning (MERL) approach and a stronger role in brokering partnerships
with the private sector and civil society. Thus, INOVASI will continue its adaptive approach to working
with partners at national, sub-national and local levels to identify and solve problems together.

1 OVERVIEW
This activity completion report for the Innovation for Indonesia’s School Children (INOVASI) program
Phase I was compiled by the Managing Contractor during the six-month transition period (January–
June 2020), as INOVASI prepared for the next phase of the program. Phase II commenced in July
2020 and integrates the INOVASI and TASS programs.
The report begins with an overview of the program’s rationale, relevance, goals and expected
outcomes. This section also covers changes in the operating context, the types of support provided
as well as a financial summary. We then analyse the program’s progress and achievements by
summarising the program outcomes, the body of evidence produced and its influence on policy
designed to improve learning outcomes. The final sections discuss: the challenges, risks and lessons
learned; the monitoring, evaluation, research and learning (MERL) component; the communications
component; cross-cutting issues; and finally, sustainability. Each of these sections describes lessons
learned, what worked well and what can be improved in Phase II. In this way, the activity completion
report is forward looking and will inform the implementation in Phase II.
1.1 Program Rationale and Relevance
The Australian Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), in consultation with the Indonesian
government, designed the INOVASI program in 2014 to address two main challenges. Firstly, while
Indonesia had succeeded in getting children into school, this had not resulted in improvements in
children’s learning outcomes. Secondly, previous efforts to improve education focused on better
access and top-down, one-size-fits-all solutions to improve learning but this approach had not
resolved what has become known as Indonesia’s ‘learning crisis’.
‘INOVASI is designed to be transformational by investigating what works and what doesn’t
work to get teachers teaching better and students learning more, and why, in order to
leverage Indonesia’s substantial spend in education. It is not designed to be a program for
directly delivering education services. It will be transformational by:
a. Understanding local challenges and opportunities to improving student learning
outcomes by bringing together key government and non-government stakeholders;
b. Generating evidence of what works and what does not work to improve student
learning in Indonesian classrooms by trialling and testing local solutions (tested
strategies);
c. Sharing this evidence with stakeholders in target and non-target districts to promote
adaptation and replication of tested strategies in target and non-target districts’ (Final
design of INOVASI) (DFAT, 2014).
Six years on, improving the quality of basic education remains a priority for Indonesia and its National
Mid-term Development Plan 2020–2024 recognises this as essential to the country’s future economic
development (Bappenas, 2019). Australia has supported the education sector in Indonesia for over
two decades.2 This history of cooperation in the sector underpins the bilateral relationship as well as
people-to-people links between the countries. INOVASI is one of several programs that DFAT funds
to support improved quality basic education in Indonesia. Others include, for example, a partnership

(AVI) programs are included.

with UNICEF in Papuan provinces, a World Bank partnership (ID-TEMAN), a governance program
(KOMPAK) and the global research initiative, Research for Improving Systems of Education (RISE).
DFAT’s ‘… current strategy supports Indonesia’s own systems to improve quality of education by
using their own funds in ways that are efficient and effective’ (Nichols and Bodrogini, 2019: i).
1.2 Goal and Expected Outcomes
The goal of INOVASI is to accelerate progress towards improved learning outcomes for Indonesian
students. It focuses on three areas of investigation: quality of teaching in the classroom; quality of
support for teachers; and learning for all. Under INOVASI’s theory of change, three end-of-program
outcomes will achieve this goal:
1. A credible body of evidence is available of what policy and practice changes work to
improve student learning outcomes in Indonesia.3
2. Decision makers have access to and use this evidence to facilitate and implement more
effective education reforms.
3. The effective policy and practice changes identified are reflected in Indonesian government
(district, provincial, national) policies, regulations, budgets and plans.
The program was designed to achieve these sequential outcomes after eight years with the first
outcome contributing to the second and the second contributing to the third. Working closely with
TASS, INOVASI has made significant progress toward these three outcomes in Phase I and is set
to strengthen this achievement in Phase II. However, the three outcomes are no longer regarded as
strictly linear or sequential. Experience has shown that while each contributes to the others, they
may be achieved concurrently or in a different sequence, in relation to specific policy outcomes. For
example, policymaking is a political process and providing evidence to support policy improves that
process but evidence is produced continuously. Thus leveraging emerging evidence and
communicating this in targeted ways is also ongoing, as personnel change and the political and
policy environment evolves.
1.3 Changes in INOVASI’s Operating Context
INOVASI Phase I coincided with the first term of President Joko Widodo whose national agenda and
equalising, meritocratic vision created a conducive atmosphere for education reforms and
specifically for efforts to improve equity and quality. These aspirations are reflected in government’s
policy of developing the country from the geographic fringes and working inwards. The national focus
on literacy aligned with grassroots movements and with INOVASI’s interest in building foundational
skills. At the same time, within the Ministry of Education and Culture (MoEC), the head of the
research and development body (Balitbang) took ownership of INOVASI as a vehicle to support the
government’s broader reform agenda.
This political climate helped INOVASI to achieve its end-of-program outcomes by the end of Phase
I4 and to build its credibility as a partner as the government embarks on its ambitious reform program
3
The original end-of-program outcomes in the program design document (DFAT 2014) refer to a ‘robust’ body of evidence. Following
advice from DFAT, we replaced the term ‘robust’ in the first end-of-program outcome with ‘credible’ since we will not conduct randomised
controlled trial type research. Rather, we aim to explore and test local solutions to local problems to produce plausible and compelling
evidence for decision makers.

Note that the end-of-program outcomes were intended to be met by the end of Phase II, after eight years of program implementation.
The INOVASI Phase II design includes updated end-of-program outcomes.
4
under the new Minister for Education and Culture, appointed in October 2019. This reform program
addresses the curriculum, student assessments and teachers’ continuing professional development.
Notwithstanding the positive climate for reform, challenges for education remain. The progress in
Indonesia’s education system over the last two decades led to increased spending and a range of
policy reforms to ensure gender-balanced, near-universal school enrolment. However, the issues of
improving quality and equity still need to be addressed. Sometimes referred to as a ‘learning crisis’,
many Indonesian children do not acquire the fundamental skills to participate in the economy, society
or further education and fall behind their peers in the region and globally. Thus, the Australian and
Indonesian governments agreed that INOVASI should focus on literacy, numeracy and inclusion in
the early grades over the course of Phase I.
Due to its adaptive methodology, INOVASI accommodated the lessons learned during its
implementation and responded to changes in the operating context. Examples of this include: (1)
adapting and strengthening the problem-driven iterative adaptation (PDIA) approach in pilots to
incorporate increasingly sophisticated technical, political and cultural methodology; (2) increasingly
engaging with the Technical Assistance for Education System Strengthening (TASS) program; (3)
responding to local situations, such as the earthquakes in Lombok and West Nusa Tenggara; (4)
adapting to changes in government policy and personnel at sub-national and national levels,
including the appointment of new ministers in 2019; and (5) pivoting to support government during
the COVID-19 crisis that began in February 2020.

1.4 Types of Support
INOVASI worked in 17 key partner districts in four provinces, commencing

with West Nusa Tenggara in 2016, adding East Nusa Tenggara and North
Kalimantan in 2017, and East Java in 2018. Towards the last year of the
program, five additional districts became INOVASI implementing partners.
While Phase I activities were mainly at sub-national level, INOVASI also
worked with policymakers, administrators, practitioners and stakeholders
at national, provincial, district and school levels to identify local problems
related to teaching and learning, and to jointly develop appropriate
solutions for local contexts. Based on INOVASI’s theory of change, the
primary mode was to pilot these local solutions and support scale out at
district level. The aim was to find out what works and, conversely, what
doesn’t work to improve learning outcomes, and to use this evidence to
inform local and national policy. The pilots mainly involved continuing
professional development conducted in school cluster-based teachers’
working groups (KKG).
The first year of the program, 2016, served as an inception period to
establish the program and explore problems associated with learning at the
national and district level. In 2017, INOVASI began a classroom action
research pilot, Guru BAIK, based on the problem-driven iterative adaption
(PDIA) approach developed by the Centre for International Development at
Harvard University. Learning from this pilot in West Nusa Tenggara and
further developing the PDIA approach, we worked with local stakeholders
to explore the problems in a pre-pilot period. This was followed by a series
of technically and politically informed ‘short course’ pilots in 2018–2019.
These included pilots to improve literacy, language transition, numeracy,
inclusion, community participation, leadership and multi-grade teaching.
Through a mix of small grants and sub-contracts, INOVASI also partnered
with 31 non-governmental organisations, universities and local agencies
(including Indonesian research foundations) to pilot a range of approaches
to improving learning outcomes and to conduct research. In total, we
conducted 110 pilots, consisting of 74 INOVASI-funded pilots and 36
locally-funded pilots (through local government budget funds, the schools’
operational grants – BOS – and corporate social responsibility funds – CSRs) across 22 partner
districts and four provinces. The 74 INOVASI-funded pilots included three Guru BAIK pilots, 37 short-
course style pilots and 34 grant-based partnerships pilots.
Research and policy work continued simultaneously at district, provincial and national levels. Around
50 studies were conducted and 51 policies were issued. In addition to working closely with TASS,
the program collaborated with UNICEF, KOMPAK, ID-TEMAN, RISE and the Tanoto Foundation’s
PINTAR project.
The grant-based partnerships allowed INOVASI to learn from local partners and also to broker
government collaboration and coalitions with the non-government sector. We engaged in public
diplomacy through various platforms and events, such as Temu INOVASI. 5 We also provided

learning outcomes. The event is hosted by INOVASI together with our government partners approximately every three
months.

technical support, including to MoEC, to: (1) develop and pilot a national students’ performance
assessment (AKSI); (2) review and update a national teacher competency framework; (3) develop
new approaches to approving books for schools; and (4) develop and pilot an instrument for
identifying special needs (Student Learning Profile). INOVASI worked with the Ministry of National
Planning and Development (Bappenas) and TASS to contribute to the National Mid-term
Development Plan (RPJMN) as well as with the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) to pilot its
continuing professional development program (again, with TASS). Partnerships with NU Ma’arif and
Muhammadiyah, Indonesia’s main Islamic organisations, were politically significant and provide a
basis for further improvements in the Islamic basic education sector in Phase II.
Initially, DFAT had envisaged that TASS would work closely with MoRA while INOVASI would work
with MoEC. This division related to the different management models in the two ministries. MoEC
takes a decentralised approach, with responsibilites devolved to the regions and districts, while
MoRA maintains a centralised model with the Islamic schools (madrasah) coming directly under the
ministry. Thus in the first two years, INOVASI did not engage closely with MoRA or work with the
madrasah. However, at the beginning of 2018, inputs from local governments and NU Ma’arif,
resulted in a change of policy and MoRA became a part of the INOVASI program. TASS was working
within MoRA to support the development and piloting of a national continuing professional
development system for their teachers and from 2018 INOVASI also became involved in this
process. INOVASI helped to implement the pilot in East Java and to adapt approaches and modules
for teacher training in literacy and numeracy for use in madrasah. At the same time INOVASI
expanded the pilots in West Nusa Tenggara and East Java to include clusters of madrasah and
engaged a senior Islamic education specialist – a resource shared with TASS. Following a series of
negotiations, INOVASI signed memorandums of understanding with both NU Ma’arif and
Muhammadiyah. The work with MoRA and the Islamic organisations continued for the remainder of
Phase I and is being further strengthened in Phase II.
As a result of the work with MoRA and the Islamic education sector, MoRA adopted INOVASI’s
modules on literacy and numeracy for its continuing professional development program that will be
scaled out nationally with financial support from a World Bank loan. The largely private Islamic
schooling sector consists predominately of small, family-based madrasah serving rural and poor
communities but 20 per cent of Indonesian children are schooled in these madrasah. While the
fundamentals of teaching and learning, literacy, numeracy and inclusion are the same across the
different sectors, madrasah face specific problems of limited resourcing and supervision.
Nonetheless, MoRA is committed to improving teacher quality and learning outcomes, and the
community support for madrasah and the Islamic sector provides an excellent basis for partnership.
The work in Phase I has laid the foundations for INOVASI to build on this partnership in Phase II.
1.5 Expenditure and Financial Analysis
By the end of Phase I, Palladium had invoiced DFAT for a total of AUD49,155,100 in reimbursable
costs for the program covering the whole Phase I duration from January 2016 to 30 June 2020.
INOVASI spent more for each financial year of the program as it added more provinces and extra
activities across national and provincial levels. The spending patterns across financial years are
shown in figure 1.

Figure 1: INOVASI: spending patterns, 2016–2019
During INOVASI Phase I, several external audits were conducted, with the latest one completed in
March 2020 for the 2019 calendar year period. The audit was conducted by Johan Malonda audit
firm and there were no major negative findings in relation to compliance nor value for money. All
audit findings and action items were followed up and reconciled, with detailed audit reports shared
with DFAT.

2 PILOTS
Pilots are at the heart of INOVASI’s approach to finding out what works to improve learning outcomes
and we funded 74 locally contextualised pilots in schools and districts in Phase I. INOVASI
strengthened the evidence from these pilots (summarised in section 2.3) through a range of research
activities. Our communications strategy leveraged this evidence base to support policy development
across different parts of the system and to broker exchanges of experience, skills and capability
across the actor groups in the sector.
INOVASI facilitated four rounds of pilots in Phase I. Round 1 in 2017 consisted of the Guru BAIK and
Gema Literasi pilots in West Nusa Tenggara. A period of exploring problems followed in late 2017
and early 2018 and, based on our findings, we designed the Round 2 pilots that we conducted in
2018 and 2019. These pilots focused on literacy, numeracy, inclusion, language transition, multi-
grade learning and school leadership.6 Over the same period (2018–2019), our non-governmental
organisation and university partners conducted the grant-funded pilots on the same themes. Taking
lessons from the Round 1 and 2 pilots, Round 3 took place in the second half of 2019, focusing again
on literacy, numeracy, inclusion and language transition. Round 4 pilots, conducted in parallel with
Round 3, focused on systemic reform at district and provincial level to support the institutionalisation
and scale out of successfully piloted continuing professioinal development programs. These pilots
were known as ‘Jalan Andrews’ (Andrews’ way) referring to Matt Andrews, one of the prinicipal
authors of the problem-driven iterative adaptation approach (Andrews, Pritchett and Woolcock 2017).
When considering how far INOVASI helped accelerate progress towards improved learning outcomes
in Phase I, we need to recognise that INOVASI is a partnership. In the first two years, our activities
focused on building working relationships, exploring problems and developing the PDIA approach to
finding solutions at school and classroom levels. The Round 1 pilots, Guru BAIK and Gema Literasi,
demonstrated that changes in teaching practice can improve learning outcomes, especially in
literacy. These pilots were subsequently scaled out in six districts with local government funding.
Scale-out pilots also improved learning outcomes while later pilots took a more technical and political
approach to achieving this goal.
The transition from classroom action research in Round 1 to technically-informed pilots on literacy,
numeracy and inclusion in Rounds 2 and 3 was an iteration of the model taking a more politically-
informed approach that also deepened INOVASI’s impact. INOVASI supported continuing
professional development in existing teachers’ working groups (KKG) to develop technical skills and
raise awareness among teachers. School supervisors monitored the program while teachers and
school heads assessed the learning outcomes. In regions where local government bought into the
program it had the greatest impacts, both in terms of scale out and learning outcomes.
Over the four and a half years of Phase I, the INOVASI pilots acted as the proof of concept,
demonstrating how to effectively support reform in teaching and learning within the larger system,
without taking on a quasi-service delivery role. By building trust and approaching problem solving in
a collaborative way, INOVASI became a trusted partner to teachers, schools, government and civil
society, and thus fostered positive change. The evidence from our pilot experience became a catalyst
for reform in aspects of the system at district, school and classroom levels while TASS developed
6 The Round 2 pilots that began with problem exploration in 2017 were initially referred to as follows: PELITA (literacy pilot),
PERMATA (numeracy pilot), BERSAMA (community participation pilot); SETARA (inclusion pilot); and GEMBIRA (language
transition pilot). We subsequently abandoned these titles in favour of more descriptive terms, for example, Literacy 1,
Literacy 2.

this same capability in the national policy space. With the two programs being integrated, we are set
to realise the full potential of the joint program in Phase II.
2.1 Contribution to Program Goal
INOVASI aims to accelerate progress towards improved learning outcomes for Indonesian students
by catalysing changes in the system that can benefit students across the country. While Phase I
piloted approaches that demonstrably improved learning outcomes in the specific contexts of our
partner schools and districts, our broader contribution comes from leveraging the evidence from
these pilots to inform policy at the regional and national levels.
We made the most contribution in Phase I when our work aligned with policy areas where there is
emerging consensus across actor groups that something needs to change. Aiming to improve
Indonesia’s economic productivity in the longer term, government wants to see a shift from a
workforce of low and semi skilled labour to an educated workforce that can compete in the knowledge
economy at national and international levels. Thus government and civil society were already
focusing on basic education and the need to boost students’ performance in literacy and numeracy.
Furthermore, our pilot focus areas of community participation, school leadership, mother tongue
transition, inclusion and multi-grade learning all feed into the same goal of fully developing the
country’s human capital.
Box 1: Improved learning outcomes in literacy
Results from the pilots contributed
significantly to the program goal and also
laid the groundwork for increasing the pace
of change in Phase II. However, Indonesia
faces a number of geographical, logistical
and cultural challenges in improving
learning outcomes at scale, relating to the
size and make-up of the country and the
diversity of languages and cultures. Some
communities have deeply embedded beliefs
about the process of learning and the roles
that schools, teachers and learners should
play. Also, gender roles are also still
culturally determined in some communities.
Furthermore, government may not have the
necessary human and other resources to
raise awareness, train teachers and
advocate for fresh thinking in education
across the country.
Nevertheless, during Phase I INOVASI and
TASS created opportunities for government
and civil society actors to advance the
quality education agenda and this process
will continue in Phase II. INOVASI’s school
and cluster-based pilots had a
demonstration effect that allowed us to
extend the reach and influence of the program to district and provincial levels. This natural bottom–
up progression of the learning through the pilots from schools and school clusters to districts and

11
provinces generates confidence in alternative ways of doing things. Thus, the program can help the
national government extend its reach as it rolls out key policy changes by feeding information back
to government on how those policy imperatives and changes are being taken up at lower levels of
the system. This is the feedback loop where INOVASI becomes a knowledge broker, connecting
different actor groups within the system.
This system-level change becomes the focus for INOVASI in Phase II although we will continue to
support wider scale out and sustainability of the Phase I outcomes. INOVASI will leverage these
outcomes to support Indonesia’s efforts to reform policy in key areas, such as curriculum,
assessment, teachers’ continuing professional development, teacher training and teacher
management.
2.2 Progress towards End-of-program Outcomes
INOVASI contributed to the program goal through the three end-of-program outcomes we describe
in this section. However, our achievements varied depending on a range of factors across different
contexts.
End-of-program outcome 1: A credible body of evidence is available of what policy and
practice changes work to improve student learning outcomes in Indonesia
Table 1 presents the issues and the evidence emerging from our pilots and related activities on what
does and doesn’t work to improve learning outcomes. In the first column we identify and explain the
issues and in the second column we assess the relative success of different solutions in local
contexts. The evidence is drawn from the pilots and supported by INOVASI and TASS research, as
well as by lessons from earlier programs in Indonesia and elsewhere. This evidence is discussed in
more detail in section 2.3 and in Annex 7.

End-of-program outcome 2: Decision makers have access to and use this evidence to facilitate and
implement more effective education reforms
Box 2: Key national policy outcomes
The evidence INOVASI generated was
communicated to decision makers
strategically to support the reform process
through various channels:
• Targeted policy products, such as the
emerging evidence document
(INOVASI, 2018), 7 policy briefs and
presentations in public forums (policy
consultations and Temu INOVASI
events) at national and sub-national
levels;
• Thematic studies published in the final
months of Phase I and appended to
this report, will be summarised and
packaged as policy briefs for decision
makers;
• Small meetings and one-on-one
consultations with senior government
officials and ministerial advisors, through audiences, meetings and online communications
(WhatsApp, email);
• Curated joint-monitoring visits for national officials to see the evidence of improved practices in
schools and districts firsthand and to directly consult with practitioners and local officials;
• Broader communication platforms, including through the INOVASI website, Facebook and
WhatsApp groups, and regular provincial newsletters.
7This is an internal document that was the basis for consultations and presentations with MoEC and the subsequent series
of policy briefs co-published with MoEC’s education policy research centre.
14
INOVASI’s Communications Strategy was instrumental in achieving the broad reach of the program.
Evaluating this strategy will be a priority early in Phase II to assess its success in influencing policy
and behaviour change, and to update the strategy for Phase II.
In Phase II we will collate the key findings from Phase I and make them available in an accessible
format and location after some consideration and consultation. A common criticism of donor studies
is that the findings are not easily available to decision-makers and stakeholders once the project is
completed. With an increasing sense of partnership and ownership of INOVASI within MoEC, finding
a sustainable solution to this problem will be a priority in Phase II.

15
End-of-program outcome 3: The effective policy and practice changes identified are reflected in
Indonesian government (district, provincial, national) policies, regulations, budgets and plans
In Phase I, INOVASI facilitated policy dialogues that resulted in 51 regulations at village, district and
provincial levels. In addition, INOVASI’s work in collaboration with TASS resulted in five significant
national policies and programs. INOVASI works closely with MoEC’s policy research, curriculum and
assessment centres and the Directorate General for Education Personnel and Phase II will focus
increasingly on this area.
• At district and provincial level, INOVASI’s Box 3: District education finance analysis
inputs (pilots, research and policy work)
can be linked directly with the policy
outcomes (new regulations). In East
Nusa Tenggara, INOVASI and TASS
worked together on a province-wide
‘grand design’ to improve learning
outcomes, especially in literacy,
numeracy and character education.
• The impact on INOVASI’s partner
districts is evident in their annual budgets
that now emphasise programs to
improve learning outcomes, including by
scaling out successful pilots. This
emerged from an analysis of education
finance patterns in the districts and by
tracking trends in funding over the last
three years. Key findings are described
in Box 3.
• At national level, the impact of
INOVASI’s policy work is less linear but
in some ways more significant. This is due to the complex policy environment and the role played
by multiple stakeholders – including other DFAT-funded programs such as ID-TEMAN,
KOMPAK, UNICEF and RISE. INOVASI worked closely with TASS to leverage the outcomes
and networks of the two programs.
In brief, the policy impacts at national and sub-national levels are as follows:
1. Literacy and numeracy: Using assessment results to highlight the low literacy and numeracy
levels among local children effectively leveraged policy support in INOVASI partner districts
and at provincial level in East Nusa Tenggara. The aim was to create a ‘sense of crisis’ to
stimulate political support for ‘doing things differently’ around literacy in early grades.
2. Book supplies: INOVASI worked with MoEC’s curriculum and book centre, non-government
agencies and the publishing industry to improve book supplies – including to remote areas,
such as North Kalimantan. We engaged with Indonesia’s national publishing industry body,
representing firms like Gramedia and Airlangga, and partnered with the Asia Foundation to
provide free-download digital children’s books. We also partnered with the Pen Circle Forum
(Forum Lingkar Pena) to provide inclusive books, using pictorial sign language. As a result of
this ongoing engagement, the ministry’s book centre amended its policy on books for primary
16
schools and agreed to review the content of children’s workbooks and teachers’ guides for
literacy and numeracy.
3. Curriculum review: Government began a review of the national curriculum in 2019 and
INOVASI and TASS supported this process by providing specialised advisors and feedback
from INOVASI’s literacy and numeracy pilots. INOVASI will therefore have the opportunity to
leverage relevant evidence from the pilots and research activities to contribute to this ongoing
process in Phase II.
4. Inclusion: Central Lombok embraced inclusive education, making it a significant policy
platform. The Student Learning Profile, was initially developed for Central Lombok’s pilot but
MoEC (supported by TASS and INOVASI) then piloted the tool in inclusive schools nationwide
and the application is subsequently being refined. The next step is to develop a guidebook
for teachers on integrating children with identified special needs in regular classes. This is
significant because interest is now evident up to the national level.
5. Continuing professional development: Cluster-based continuing professional development is
a priority for both MoEC and MoRA. Both ministries have approved the training modules
INOVASI designed and teachers are now credited for attending the sessions, contributing to
their career advancement. Districts have adopted the approach and are scaling it out.
INOVASI has also started to adapt traditional training modules for online and remote delivery.
6. Partnerships with non-government organisations: INOVASI is working closely with MoEC on
its new Program Organisasi Penggerak that will give small grants to several hundred non-
government partners to provide continuing professional development to teachers across the
country. This program is modelled on INOVASI’s grant-based partnership program and
INOVASI is helping the ministry to design and implement it.
7. Problem-driven iterative adaptation (PDIA) as an approach: Based on how INOVASI has been
working, MoEC is also adopting a PDIA approach specifically for its large-scale Program
Organisasi Penggerak that is still at its inception stage.
8. Multi-grade learning: With no tradition of using multi-grade classes, introducing this approach
in Indonesia is likely to be challenging. It is expensive initially as teachers need incentives
and training, parents and teachers need persuading, and local district officials must learn to
manage the more complicated system. Nonetheless, MoEC is considering the multi-grade
approach as part of its new strategic plan and the personnel director for the madrasah wants
to include it in MoRA’s continuing professional development program. Teachers in small
schools already end up teaching students in different school years at the same time but
without the official support and expertise that can turn this into an advantage.
9. Assessment: INOVASI has maintained strong links to MoEC’s national assessment centre
under the research and development body and one of government’s emerging priorities is to
routinely use assessments at the classroom level to drive planning at the national policy level.
Participating in international benchmarking tests, such as PISA, Trends in International
Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Progress in International Reading Literacy
Study (PIRLS) has highlighted the need to improve learning outcomes – and develop credible
measures of progress. TASS and INOVASI both worked with MoEC on developing and
piloting the Indonesian students’ performance assessment (AKSI, now AKM) approach.
INOVASI also helped pilot the effective use of formative assessment in classrooms, schools
and districts to inform practice and policy.

17
2.3 The Evidence Base: What’s Working?
Box 4: Correlation analysis: literacy and
Phase I of INOVASI sought to find out what works to numeracy skills
improve learning outcomes – and to use this evidence to
inform policy. This section summarises and discusses the
findings under INOVASI’s three areas of investigation,
based primarily on results from the comprehensive
baseline and endline studies, using INOVASI’s education
and learning survey, SIPPI (Survei Inovasi Pendidikan
dan Pembelajaran Indonesia).
The results are aggregated from the three rounds of
INOVASI-led and grant-funded pilots without considering
variations across pilots or the diversity of approach,
context or performance. In this aggregation, 380 out of
746 schools (51 per cent) and 1,078 out of 2,238 teachers
(48 per cent) benefitting from INOVASI support were
randomly selected for the baseline and endline surveys.
With 95 per cent confidence level and 5 per cent margin
of error, the samples were sufficient to represent
program-level results. The analysis includes before and
after comparisons (baseline–endline surveys), correlation analyses and monitoring data derived from
the spot checks. The spot checks consisted of classroom observations, surveys and interviews.
Further details on the results are available in Annex 7 and in the thematic studies that bring together
evidence from all the pilots in the key areas of literacy, numeracy, disability
inclusion, gender, continuing professional development and sustainability,
the PDIA approach, and partnerships. See Annex 1 for abstracts of these
studies.
THE QUALITY OF TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM
Student-centred teaching
One issue that affects the quality of teaching in the

classroom is whether and how much the teacher
uses student-centred approaches. These include,
for example, using open-ended questions, delving
into students’ opinions, using appropriate teaching
tools, recognising students’ efforts and having well-
balanced interactions with students in the front,
middle and back of the classroom. These contrast with teacher-centred
practices that rely on reading exercises, repeating or memorising and
copying from the blackboard, with lessons typically focusing on textbooks
and teachers explaining in one-way communication. Teachers who
participated in the INOVASI pilots are clearly shifting towards student-
centred approaches with students actively participating in the learning.
Evidence of this shift was drawn from teacher interviews and classroom observations. Furthermore,
18
the literacy thematic study (Fearnley-Sander 2020)8 investigated outcomes from 25 pilots on teacher
improvement and books, and concluded that most participating teachers changed their practices and
adopted ‘critical elements for teaching reading’.
Teacher interviews: Most teachers (68 per cent) in the baseline interviews acknowledged that their
style of teaching was teacher-centred and dominated by lecturing. Following the interventions, the
percentage of teachers who said they used student-centred approaches increased from 32 per cent
to 45 per cent. The use of discussions, question-and-answer sessions and debates had increased
by the endline although lecturing remained dominant.
Classroom observations: Positive changes in classroom teaching practice were evident during the
observations and these are shown in figure 2.
Figure 2: Changes in teaching practices: baseline–endline results
‘Literate’ classrooms
Another key issue in the quality of teaching is whether students are learning in ‘literate classrooms’.
SIPPI describes these as ‘print-rich’ classrooms that have books, reading corners and classroom
displays of learning materials and the students’ own work. Following the pilots, more classrooms
were in this category. Teachers used the walls for displays and in language transition classrooms
both local languages and Bahasa Indonesia materials were included. This exposes children to
literacy materials in their day-to-day activities.
• The percentage of teachers displaying students’ work increased by 26 points, from 45 per
cent to 71 per cent.
• The percentage of teachers displaying teaching/learning materials or aids increased by 15
points from 69 per cent to 84 per cent.
• More teachers have set up reading corners in their classrooms that include non-textbook
readers and children’s literature, with a 23 point increase from 24 per cent to 47 per cent.
A similar trend was found in INOVASI’s first round of technical literacy pilots and in the partnership
pilots, with the results doubling (from 23 per cent to 55 per cent and from 22 per cent to 44 per cent
8 A summary of this study is available in Annex 1 of this document

19
respectively). The format and standard of the reading corners varied across schools and areas as
some appeared to be well-organised, with small areas set up interestingly for comfortable reading,
while others were just basic facilities to keep books. Some schools allocated books for inside and
outside the classroom to allow students easier access to books. Regardless of the variations, the
reading corners mean that students now have more access to books.
Numeracy teaching
INOVASI conducted two rounds of pilots on numeracy in six districts. An analysis of results in the
thematic study on numeracy (van der Heijden 2020)9 found that participating teachers improved their
own understanding of the mathematical content and pedagogy needed to support children’s
understanding of basic numeracy concepts. The quality of their knowledge and skills in teaching
numeracy also improved. This, in turn, led to students improving their conceptual knowledge and
understanding of number, as well as their ability to demonstrate their reasoning and apply their
knowledge (see section 2.5).
Aside from the quantitative results from the baseline and endline surveys, the numeracy study used
a teacher practice index based on the SIPPI indicators in the observations and interviews and the
results suggest that a change in pedagogy had an impact on students’ thinking and reasoning abilities
(van der Heijden 2020, 20). Teachers used relevant concrete and visual materials effectively to
scaffold students’ understanding towards more abstract concepts. They asked students more open-
ended questions, although students needed more exposure and experience in explaining the
processes and thinking about how they arrived at a solution. Teachers also took a student-centred
approach in organising their students into groups based on their pre-assessment data.
Furthermore, the numeracy study showed that after the pilot, teachers developed more confidence
in their students’ ability to understand the subject and more students said they considered numeracy
their favourite subject. Teachers who have a growth mindset tend to be more effective in building
their students’ confidence in learning, a key element in improving the quality of learning and teaching
(Dweck, 2008).
THE QUALITY OF SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS
In investigating the quality of support for teachers, INOVASI focused on the following key issues:
continuing professional development and teachers’ working groups; school leadership; and book
provision.
9 A summary of this study is available in Annex 1 of this document.
20
Teachers’ working groups and continuing professional development
The Ministry of Education and Culture aimed to develop and refresh the
professional skills of teachers, principals and supervisors through the working
group cluster system (INOVASI July 2019) and it issued standards and operating
procedures to support these groups (Ministry of National Education 2008, 2010).
However, INOVASI’s study on working groups in five of the target districts in West
Nusa Tenggara province (INOVASI June 2019) found that ‘as a forum for
improving the quality of teachers, principals and supervisors, the working groups
are not yet functioning optimally’. At this stage, the study reported that: ‘Some
working groups offer professional development through training and other
activities but this is still not common and administrative tasks or lesson planning
dominate.’ Recognising the challenge that the government faced in ensuring that
the working groups fulfilled their remit, INOVASI resolved to contribute to this process through its
pilot program.
INOVASI’s Round 2 and 3 pilots in 2018–2019 included support for teachers and principals through
continuing professional development delivered through the working groups as well as through follow-
up mentoring activities. Data from these two pilot rounds show that more teachers participated in
training for teachers (excluding INOVASI training) with a 10 percentage point increase from 62 per
cent to 72 per cent. In the last year of the program, more teachers participated in continuing
professional development activities in teachers’ working groups with a 32 percentage point increase
from 43 per cent to 75 per cent.
As a result of continuing professional development activities in the teachers’ working groups, some
teachers reported that they improved their lesson planning by analysing their students’ ability,
considering teaching techniques targeted at their learning levels and including learning media. While
the increases were small (from 81 per cent to 83 per cent), they were more obvious for teachers
incorporating newly-introduced active teaching approaches and media in lesson plans (11 points).
School leadership
INOVASI ran two leadership pilots (Batu City and West Sumba) in Phase I and this is a potential area
of focus in Phase II. Monitoring data record that more principals ran professional development
sessions in their schools (known as ‘mini KKG’) as a result of the program with increases of 39 and
25 percentage points for Batu City and West Sumba respectively. However, no significant
improvement was reported in principals’ instructional leadership. This is an area that potentially drives
better teaching practices.
The number of principals supporting teachers by ensuring they have learning materials also differed
in the two pilots with the number in Batu City decreasing by 15 percentage points and the number in
West Sumba increasing by 67 percentage points. The starting point was lower in West Sumba
compared to in Batu City but other variables confirmed that the pilot had limited influence on
managerial decisions to support teachers for quality learning. Nevertheless, spot-check data showed
that principals who took part in the leadership pilots were more likely than their counterparts to
allocate the schools operational (BOS) funds to support literacy and numeracy.

21
A key finding from the pilots is that combining leadership
training for principals with the literacy and numeracy training
for teachers resulted in better learning outcomes than
running the literacy and numeracy pilots on their own. For
instance, the results from a numeracy pilot that was
combined with a leadership pilot and a numeracy pilot
without the leadership program were 84 per cent and 32 per
cent respectively for better learning outcomes. A similar
trend was evident for other types of technical pilots. Overall
for both literacy and numeracy pilots, the results for better
learning outcomes were more than double when the
leadership pilot was included (76 per cent for any pilot plus
leadership versus 34 per cent for any pilot without leadership).
Book provision
INOVASI partnered with several non-government organisations and private companies’ corporate
social responsibility programs to improve book supply in schools and communities, as a critical
element in improving reading (Fearnley-Sander 2020). This was evident especially in North
Kalimantan, where Litara, the One Person, One Book program (OPOB) and the Asia Foundation
(digital books) worked with the district and local communities to improve access to appropriate
children’s books. The district provided local funding for schools and set up a working group to approve
books. In the four Sumba districts, Rainbow Reading Gardens (Taman Baca Pelangi), a non-
governmental organisation, established demonstration school libraries.
‘Two of the book pilots combined book supply with teacher development. In Central
Lombok, the Pen Circle Forum (Forum Lingkar Pena) developed books to support
inclusive teaching, designing books with sign language and modelling inclusion though
the diversity of characters included in the stories. In two districts of Sumba, the
Indonesian Children’s Literature Foundation (Yayasan Literasi Anak Indonesia – YLAI)
provided a sample of balanced literacy teaching through the number of graded readers
it has developed. It also modelled the shared and guided reading methodologies that
enable teachers to put books at the centre of basic skills development and
comprehension in reading’ (Fearnley-Sander 2020, 24).
LEARNING FOR ALL
Certain groups of children can be excluded from learning, including: children who are not yet fluent
in Bahasa Indonesia, the language of instruction; children with disabilities; children living in remote
areas; and boys or girls who are excluded from aspects of learning due to gender. INOVASI took a
twin-track approach to exploring the issues and piloting solutions for inclusion: mainstreaming and
targeting individuals and groups potentially at risk. Key elements of this strategy included:
• Improving how teachers identify and teach children with disabilities;
• Investing in basic literacy for the many children who do not speak Bahasa Indonesia at home
(language transition pilots);
• Identifying innovations that improve teaching and learning in schools in remote areas;
22
• Exploring issues around gender equality and women’s empowerment (Gibson and Purba
2020).10
Disability inclusion
In Phase I INOVASI conducted three pilots and three grant-funded partnerships that focused on
disability-inclusive education. The studies explored the problems, developed and tested the Student
Learning Profile and undertook an extensive multi-stakeholder policy analysis and development
process to prepare the Central Lombok Regency
Inclusive Education Roadmap (2019–2021). A
thematic study on disability inclusion (Sprunt 2020)11
draws together the evidence from this work.
The study found improvements in learning outcomes
among students with disabilities in the INOVASI pilot
schools and highlighted the value of strengthening
disability data systems and policy tools to enable
inclusive education.
INOVASI conducted inclusion pilots in Central
Lombok, Sidoarjo and East Sumba. As a result, in
these districts, children with disabilities had more
opportunity to enrol in regular schools. Villages also
initiated support to assist families with special needs
children. In Central Lombok, teachers in partner
schools learned to use the Student Learning Profile
to identify students with specific learning problems.
The teachers then prepared individualised lesson
plans for these students. Spot-check data from the inclusion pilot showed, for instance, that 86 per
cent of teachers with children with disabilities in their classes reported they used the profile to identify
specific conditions that affect learning for their students. However, 68 per cent said that they still need
further coaching in using the profile and developing appropriate lesson plans while 18 per cent
reported that they lacked specific support for students with disabilities. Thus, more work is needed to
ensure quality learning for children with disabilities.
Differentiated learning and gender inclusion
Aside from the targeted disability inclusion pilots, the other pilots also generally promoted learning
for all. Teachers participating in the pilots learned to assess students’ learning skills and support
those in need through differentiated learning, additional sessions, different tasks or assignments and
grouping children with similar levels of learning ability. Except where indicated, the following results
are aggregated from the Phase I Rounds 2 and 3 pilots and grant-based partnerships:


23
• In language transition pilots, the student learning outcome gaps between children who speak
a local language and those who speak Bahasa Indonesia were reduced, although results
varied across the three language transition pilots.12
• Studies have revealed that students from families with low socio-economic status are behind
in their reading levels and have limited interest (Van Vechten 2013; Aikens and Barbarin
2008). The endline study of INOVASI pilots shows the gap is closing between students from
low and high quantiles of the socio-economic index and the difference came down from 47
to 30 points on the endline basic literacy test.13
• In the multi-grade pilot, test scores in Probolinggo in East Java increased the most among
the five districts involved while on the baseline the students’ performance was the lowest
across these pilots. The scores increased by 18 points from 62 per cent to 80 per cent (the
provincial range is 10 to 18 points) or, as a proportion, by around 28 per cent (the provincial
range is 13 per cent to 28 per cent). Nevertheless, the score remained the lowest at 80 per
cent compared to 98 per cent in Batu City. The trend was similar for the average score in the
literacy comprehension test although the gaps were small.
• INOVASI’s literacy and numeracy tests, disaggregated by gender, show that girls
consistently outperformed boys. This was true in the baseline and the endline tests, and
across the four provinces. The gender gap, however, was smaller by the endline. While the
pilots did not specifically target boys or aim to close the gap, this effect is likely the result of
teachers using more effective practices that engaged both boys and girls. At baseline, for
example, the gap for literacy ranged from 8 to 13 points across provinces. By endline, the
gap in all provinces ranged from 2 to 11 points for INOVASI’s first round of pilots. For all
pilots, including grant-funded partnership pilots, the gap ranged from 5 to 20 points.14
The disability inclusion thematic study (Sprunt 2020) highlights areas where the program can be
strengthened in Phase II. This includes: proactively using and strengthening the work of disabled
peoples’ organisations and disability service units in supporting inclusive schools; designing pilots
with a broader focus than just teacher capacity development, to address the issue of most children
with disabilities being out of school; building the capacity and commitment of principals and
supervisors to ensure accessible infrastructure, adequate resources and greater support for
teachers; and addressing the system and teaching capacity required to implement assessments
inclusively.
In Phase II we will build on the findings from Phase I and deepen our work on gender equality by
taking action to:
• Involve a full-time gender specialist from the beginning of Phase II (to ensure pilot designs
and policy work take account of gender from the outset);
• Include gender-focused activities and events in the workplan and dedicate a realistic budget
to support these activities;
12 Four pilots focused on language transition: Bima, Dompu, East Sumba and West Sumba. The East Sumba pilot,
implemented by Sulinama, and INOVASI’s pilot (GEMBIRA) in Bima both closed the gap between children who speak local
languages and those who speak Bahasa Indonesia. The gap reduced by 4 and 7 points respectively. Results were stronger
for the GEMBIRA pilot in Bima that reduced the gap seven times more than the pilot in Dompu where the gap decreased
only by 1 point. The West Sumba pilot, run by SIL, did not produce the expected result. This may be because the intervention
needed longer to generate results or there may be other technical reasons that require further verification.
13 Note that this measure is from Round 2 (the first round of short-course pilots).
14 The gap increased in East Nusa Tenggara. This result may be due to a greater gap between girls and boys in one of the
grantee pilots for language transition teaching.
24
• Seek out allies in government and civil society who can help us make wise choices about how
we engage on gender;
• Explore the feasibility of designing and delivering a gender-focused pilot (grant, short-course
or other) in Phase II;
• Strengthen the school leadership pilot to improve leadership and management skills for all
principals and to promote women’s empowerment;
• Consider the potential for character education to provide opportunities for children to practise
values of equality, respect and teamwork – these can and should include a gender dimension
(Gibson and Purba 2020).
2.4 Snapshot of Findings from Pilots and Provinces: Literacy
INOVASI conducted a thematic study to analyse the results of all its Phase I pilots that explored ways
to improve literacy outcomes (Fearnley-Sander 2020). The main finding from the pilots and the study
is that student outcomes improved in the pilot schools – more than could be explained by natural
growth. This finding was echoed in the other thematic studies for numeracy, disability inclusion,
partnerships and continuing professional development.
Other key findings on what worked to improve literacy can be classified into the elements that helped
mitigate disadvantages in particular contexts. The commitment to literacy development of most
district governments was a critical element. A pattern that emerged throughout all findings was that
the most disadvantaged districts made the most gains and thus, with support from the intervention,
they were able to quickly close the gap with the more advantaged districts. A related finding was that
outcomes from pilots adapted to target specific contextual difficulties, such as language of instruction
or access to books, outstripped results from the mainstream approaches to improving teachers’
know-how in teaching reading.
Such findings have implications for future strategies to maintain and extend the gains in literacy. The
short duration of the pilots means that while the shift towards student-centred teaching practices has
been remarkable, a permanent paradigm shift is not yet guaranteed.
The following results are aggregated from Rounds 1 and 2 pilots and grant-based partnerships.
LITERACY – BASIC DECODING AND COMPREHENSION SKILLS
The percentage of students passing the basic literacy test in the baseline ranged widely across the
four provinces. East Java had the largest proportion of students passing the test at 82 per cent while
East Nusa Tenggara had the smallest proportion at 23 per cent. Half the students passed the test in
North Kalimantan and 57 per cent passed in West Nusa Tenggara.
Following the pilots, East Java still had the highest proportion of students passing the test and while
East Nusa Tenggara still had the lowest, it had improved the most with an increase of 31 percentage
points. This was followed by North Kalimantan (28 points), West Nusa Tenggara (20 points) and East
Java (11 points). In terms of percentage increase, East Nusa Tenggara improved by more than
double (134 per cent increase), while East Java improved by just 13 per cent since the pass rate
there was already high.

25
Figure 3: Percentage of students who passed the basic literacy test at baseline and endline, four
provinces
While the performance was generally strong in grade three, about 11 per cent
of the 3,414 grade three students failed the basic test. For the most basic
component of letter recognition, 4 per cent of grade three students (about 137
students) still struggled. East Nusa Tenggara had the highest percentage of
grade three children who failed at 8 per cent while no grade three students
failed in North Kalimantan.
The average score on the comprehension test improved by 11.9 percentage
points across the pilots (from 58.4 to 70.3). East Java had the highest scores
and East Nusa Tenggara had the lowest in both the baseline and endline tests.
However, East Nusa Tenggara had the greatest increase that was three times
that in East Java (21 points versus 7 points). Most students passed the test on
explicitly-stated information and making straightforward inferences but were weak on interpreting and
integrating ideas. This was the most challenging part of the test and average scores were below 50
in both baseline and endline tests, with the lowest levels of improvement.
The impact of the pilots when they are funded and implemented by the districts will be investigated
in Phase II. In a case study of seven schools in North Kalimantan that participated in the scaled-out
literacy pilot, the percentage of students who passed the basic literacy test improved from 68 to 80
per cent (an increase of 12 percentage points) while students participating in the original INOVASI
pilot improved by 28 points. These results need further investigation and should not be considered
conclusive given the small size of the study and the number of variables. The results indicate that
the scale-out activities improved literacy skills in Bulungan and the program reached more than 100
schools with less technical support than the original pilot.
WHICH LITERACY PILOTS WERE MOST EFFECTIVE AND WHY?
The literacy thematic study (Fearnley-Sanders 2020) analysed results from the Literacy 1 and 2 pilots,
INOVASI’s major experiment in literacy teaching development.
26
Table 2 : Grade progression on the individual component skills, by province
As illustrated in table 2, results on the different component skills in some provinces, notably East
Nusa Tenggara and North Kalimantan, reveal larger effects than those at the aggregated basic
literacy test level. These findings are valuable diagnostically and show, for example, the low level of
word recognition among grade one students in Sumba compared with the other provinces. The gains
in that case also show the capacity of the program to overcome these key inhibitors to reading
progress. Word recognition also lags behind the other foundational skills in most provinces but
conspicuously in Sumba. This may point to language of instruction and vocabulary problems that are
not fully recognised in early grades literacy methodologies. This suggests that phonological
approaches are not enough to overcome these issues on their own.
Overall, the findings also showed that the considerable variability in the extent of effect across the
provinces relates to their different baseline levels and the pattern of the lower the baseline, the higher
the gain was sustained.
The pilots were effective in improving comprehension skills — showing more gains than in the
component skills — and particularly in the higher-order thinking skill of inferencing. This attests to the
value of the balanced literacy approach adopted in the Literacy 1 and 2 pilots. East Java in particular
improved more in comprehension skills than in component skills, suggesting that the emphasis needs
to be on developing teaching methods in higher order skills rather than in beginning reading skills.
Teaching methods in the component skills already seem to be adequate in the province.
The extent to which a disadvantaged region such as Sumba closed the gap with other provinces in
comprehension indicates that higher-order thinking is accessible to students even if their basic
reading skills are limited. Another important finding is that Sumba leads the other provinces in the
gains on listening comprehension, indicating the districts recognise the value of teaching
methodologies that strengthen second language learners’ understanding.

27
Nevertheless, the performance on comprehension, particularly in disadvantaged provinces, should
not conceal the scale of the problem of reading poverty, represented by the small proportion of
children in the Literacy 1 and 2’s catchment areas that proved eligible for the comprehension tests.
2.5 Snapshot of Findings from Pilots and Provinces: Numeracy
The following results are aggregated from the Rounds 2 and 3 pilots
(Numeracy 1 and Numeracy 2) and grant-based partnerships conducted in
Sumbawa and East Java. Average scores for the numeracy comprehension
test improved by 14 percentage points (from 54.7 to 68.8), consistent with
literacy across provinces, while East Java had the highest average scores
on the numeracy comprehension test and East Nusa Tenggara had the
lowest. The gap between the two was 18 percentage points.
INOVASI’s Numeracy 1 and 2 pilots improved students’ knowledge and,
significantly, its application. This suggests that the improved pedagogy is
having an overall impact on student learning. Boys still performed slightly
below girls but gains were evident, particularly among the boys. With a more student-centred
approach, students were enjoying the subject and had more positive perceptions of it.
Teachers who took part in the teachers’ working group sessions improved in most areas of their
teaching practice and this affected students’ progress positively. Teachers became more
knowledgeable about early numeracy teaching, especially considering their mediocre scores in the
baseline SIPPI teacher test. However, they need to learn more about how to scaffold and support
students’ responses and give feedback on learning.
Following the pilot, teachers arranged their classes in groups to support student-centred approaches,
explained the learning objective at the outset and asked the students more questions. This is a
tangible shift from a didactic teacher-centred approach. The teachers’ own expanded knowledge and
use of numeracy content and processes also demonstrates their growth mindset towards learning
new content and methods.
The thematic study on numeracy (van der Heijden 2020) provides evidence that more time and
emphasis should be given for teachers to focus on early conceptual knowledge, skills and
understanding in the early-grades curriculum. This will ensure a solid basis for more abstract learning
later on.
Prior to the pilot, the teachers were not using specific methods to develop a solid understanding of
number and students did not have adequate time to practise and explore number concepts. The
training in the teachers’ working group meetings means teachers can continue to learn with and from
their colleagues and develop effective teaching practices. Differentiated training for teachers and
principals would also create awareness and support for new approaches.
Aside from effective methods, teachers need manageable teaching and learning materials that fit the
context as well as the students’ varying levels and learning needs. They also need to conduct regular
and varied assessments to gain insights into any difficulties or misconceptions the students may have
so they can better organise their classes to meet individual, group and whole-class learning needs.
In Phase II the districts have requested support with improving numeracy in the upper primary grades.
28
WHICH NUMERACY PILOTS WERE MOST EFFECTIVE?
Differing conditions and timing for the baseline–endline studies make it difficult to compare outcomes
of the two numeracy pilots (van der Heijden 2020). The overall average score in each of the numeracy
learning outcomes increased in both districts after the Numeracy 1 was implemented. In Sidoarjo,
the overall baseline score improved from 69 per cent to 78 per cent. In Sumbawa the gains were
greater, with an average baseline score of 51 per cent and an endline score of 71 per cent. For
Numeracy 2, there were only three months between the baseline and endline student learning
assessments,15 making it difficult to make claims about the impact of the pilot on students’ learning
improvements. The key is to establish if students progressed in number (content) as well as in
applying that knowledge and in developing their reasoning skills (cognitive).
The results of the Numeracy 2 baseline numeracy test look slightly different from the Numeracy 1
results where almost all students achieved a mean score of 97–100 per cent. In Numeracy 2, the
grade one students’ starting point was lower on recognising numerals (91 per cent) and this may
indicate a lower ability in reading, less previous exposure and the timing of the survey (after just one
semester in school). The additional districts in the Numeracy 2 cohort are also lower than Sidoarjo
and Sumbawa in terms of socio-economic status. Boys’ scores were lower than girls’ scores in both
pilots but both made similar progress, although number discrimination remains an issue. This ability
to understand quantities of numbers is essential and affects other areas of mathematical
development.
2.6 The Grant-based Partnerships Pilots
The grant-based partnership program overall generated students’ interest

in reading and developed their literacy skills. In schools participating, the
percentage of students who passed the basic literacy test improved by 18
points, from 60 per cent to 78 per cent. The grantees achieved this by
collaborating with schools to provide libraries and working with community
reading centres. For instance, in Central Sumba, the number of students
who said they enjoyed reading rose by 42 percentage points, from 53 to 95
per cent, and in other Sumba districts this rose to 100 per cent. Each pilot
was designed to deliver specific results, such as promoting better access
for special needs children, increasing parents’ engagement and training
teachers in literacy and numeracy.
Some grantee pilot programs also faced challenges, for example, in
coordinating with government and sustaining the intervention, while others
established good relationships with local government and will collaborate
further. However, most grantee programs are not yet at this stage. The relatively short
implementation period made it difficult for local government to adopt the pilot approaches.
The grant-based partnership program cost around IDR28 billion for 22 grantees, including the costs
of grantees’ training and socialisation workshops.16 This is equivalent to around 16.5 per cent of the
total INOVASI program activity estimated spending in Phase 1 of around IDR170 billion. The costs
15This occurred due to external conditions around program budget changes, timing of the school year and Ramadan.
16Excluding the Literacy Boost pilot, run by Save the Children, as this pilot was implemented in a different pattern of
partnership.

29
per school varied, ranging from about IDR27 million to IDR165 million.17 The two with the lowest costs
were NU Maarif and Pen Circle Forum while the programs with the highest costs were the Summer
Institute of Languages (SIL) and Rainbow Reading Gardens.
Nevertheless, the Rainbow Reading Gardens pilots, for example, provided many books and
increased interest in and access to reading, contributing to better literacy skills. The Muhammadiyah
and NU Ma’arif pilots both improved literacy in terms of basic skills and comprehension, with
increases in the test results of 1 and 3 points respectively for basic skills and about 2 points and 10
points respectively for comprehension. The Muhammadiyah pilot schools were within the top 20 per
cent of INOVASI’s school quality index, so the starting point was higher and the outcomes were less
dramatic – a pattern observed across the pilots. Results from the NU Ma‘arif numeracy pilot, however,
are still to be proven.
The Muhammadiyah and NU Ma’arif results reflect a number of realities, including differing
approaches to managing the organisations and the pilots within them, different starting points in terms
of general school quality and a late start for activities in both partnerships. However, these
organisations’ enthusiasm and committment in the first round of grant-based partnership activities
provide a sound base to build on in Phase II.
A thematic study on partnerships (Amalia, Arsendy and Purba 2020)18 analyses the outcomes and
lessons learned from the grant-based partnership program in more detail. The study found that while
the grant-funded partnership programs generated positive results, measured in changing practices
and improved learning outcomes, the challenges related to program design and sustainability persist.
One main challenge was the short duration of these pilot programs, giving the government, facilitators
and beneficiaries little time to build their capacity to independently apply and sustain the changes
after the program. Other challenges arose from: varying levels of competence and commitment
among participants and implementers; limited supporting regulations at the school, office and village
levels; and inconsistent support from principals and local governments. Phase II provides an
opportunity for follow-up monitoring to assess the sustainability of outcomes from these partnerships
and determine the factors associated with their effects and sustainability. This evidence is valuable
for MoEC in planning its large-scale partnership, Program Organisasi Penggerak.
2.7 Cost-benefit Analysis
We conducted a simple cost–benefit analysis of the Indonesian and Australian governments’

investment in the INOVASI program although these preliminary findings warrant further analysis for
conclusive insights. We found that it costs more to achieve basic literacy and comprehension skills
in districts where most children failed the basic literacy test than in better-served districts (see figure
4). For example, the cost per student to increase literacy comprehension test scores by 1 point was
about AUD57 in Central Sumba, 50 times more than the cost in Batu City (approximately AUD1).
However, as reported, gains in the more disadvantaged districts where more children failed the basic
literacy test in the baseline are much larger than in the better-served and higher-performing districts.
17
In Phase 2, we will explore methodologies for analysing unit cost and cost benefit for a range of interventions. This has
not been possible with the data available for Phase I. Each pilot and grantee program worked differently with schools on
different interventions over different timeframes so there was no common basis for comparison. However, the grants
program overall represents 16.9 per cent of the INOVASI budget.
30
A regression analysis found that a 1 per cent increase in the proportion of students passing the basic
literacy test would reduce the cost of a one-point increase in literacy comprehension test scores by
AUD0.62. The endline results from the pilots reveal that students whose teachers took part in the
pilots were 20 percentage points more likely to pass the basic literacy test than others. This means
that districts that invest in scaling out INOVASI pilot interventions are projected to save an average
of AUD13.2 per student to increase their literacy comprehension score by one point.
Figure 4: Regression analysis – the cost of delaying basic literacy skills
One finding that emerged clearly from our work in Phase I is that a one-size-fits-all approach does
not work. Remote and disadvantaged regions need different support and INOVASI’s Phase I modules
are generally more appropriate for these regions. For example, as shown in figure 5, literacy pilots in
East Nusa Tenggara increased scores on basic literacy by 2.5 times, while the increase was modest
in more developed regions, such as East Java.

31
Figure 5: Increase in basic literacy skills due to Round 2 INOVASI pilots (excluding grant-funded pilots)
Another finding from Phase I is that the comprehensive approach in Bulungan, North Kalimantan had
a greater and quicker impact than in other regions (figure 5). The program in this district involved
many actors (government, community, university and private sector) and had strong political support
from the regent. After one and a half years, the level of literacy in pilot schools in Bulungan was
higher than the average in East Java that began with a much higher average baseline score. As
figure 6 illustrates, the intervention in Bulungan saved the districts one year of schooling to achieve
a basic literacy standard for most students (87 per cent).19 This district is currently scaling out the
literacy program to all teachers and all schools and the benefits will potentially be massive.
19 This refers to basic literacy skills only (letter, syllables, words). East Java scores were higher for comprehension.

3 CHALLENGES, RISKS, OPPORTUNITIES AND LESSONS
LEARNED
INOVASI is an adaptive program and Phase I provided many opportunities to learn from experience,
respond to challenges, and identify and mitigate risks. As the program moves into Phase II, we need
to take stock of these lessons learned.
3.1 Challenges and Risks
This section focuses on the current challenges and risks INOVASI faces as the program transitions
to Phase II as well as those we navigated in Phase I. Some issues, such as using the PDIA approach,
present challenges or risks but also provide opportunities.
GOVERNMENT PARTNERS
In Phase I, INOVASI cultivated broad and deep working relationships across key directorates in
MoEC and MoRA that do not depend on individual champions. Nevertheless, if the new minister
restructures or reshuffles senior positions within MoEC we may need to rebuild some of these key
partnerships. A possible reshuffle was reportedly delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic but is likely to
take place in 2020. A change of minister, which is always a possibility, would also likely result in
further reshuffling of senior positions.
Elections occurred at all levels in Phase I and will also take place in Phase II. There are risks for
potential political unrest during and after elections that may create challenges for a program like
INOVASI that works through government to achieve outcomes. In Phase I, we were able to handle
any unrest and navigate changes in personnel and priorities. Teams at the provincial level will need
to exercise prudence in maintaining relationships and continuing to leverage strong working
relationships with the regional development planning agency, local leaders and civil society
organisation partners. Furthermore, as districts adopt, adapt and scale out pilots developed by
INOVASI, the risk that they will dilute the effectiveness of the interventions through reduced
resourcing is real. The INOVASI team can only influence the direction pilots take in proportion to the
level of support we provide.
The current COVID-19 crisis is a major distraction for government and risks derailing the reform
movement that began in late 2019. The closure of schools could increase the learning gap between
advantaged and disadvantaged students, with special needs students particularly at risk. The full
consequences of the crisis are not yet known but are likely to impact on government priorities and on
the INOVASI program. We should anticipate a slower start to Phase II, given that district budgets for
scaling out pilots have been diverted to addressing the pandemic. The first two months of Phase II
will focus on developing the program strategy and a comprehensive workplan for the first year. In this
context INOVASI will need to consider which activities to drop, add or keep and which to adapt or
improve. Our priorities are likely to include humanitarian responses, health infrastructure and
communications, governance technical assistance and support for early recovery and inclusion.
Figure 7 illustrates the responses from INOVASI and TASS to the situation created by the COVID-
19 pandemic in Phase I.

35
Figure 7: INOVASI and TASS response during the COVID-19 pandemic
INTERNAL CHANGES IN INOVASI
As an adaptive program, INOVASI has evolved over Phase I. The lengthy process of finalising the
program design was followed by a protracted inception period stretching into the first 18 months
(2016 to mid-2017) before the program got fully underway. As the program found its strategic intent
and orientation 12–18 months in, changes in senior personnel caused some loss of momentum but
ultimately resulted in a stronger team and a focused and cohesive program. Activity scaled up rapidly
and the early underspend was made up in the third and fourth years. We expect to take the key
management team forward into Phase II and ensure a seamless transition.
BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
In the second half of Phase I, the budget pressures that DFAT was under led to a number of changes
in our program. We spread INOVASI’s budget over six additional months up to 30 June 2020 by
restructuring activities and staff to accommodate the extra time. Also, after our budget was cut by
over AUD2 million in early 2019, we had to refocus our priorities, scale down some activities and
then gradually phase down staff from December 2019.
The risk of further adjustments is real, given Australia’s national review of its aid priorities and the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In May 2020, DFAT released the policy document, Partnerships
for Recovery, Australia’s COVID-19 Development Response (DFAT 2020) and INOVASI Phase II
36
aligns well with this policy. The investment supports the Indonesian government and contributes to
the development policy action areas by promoting: (1) economic recovery through building the quality
of Indonesia’s human capital; (2) stability and social cohesion by helping maintain education services;
(3) health security by using the education system to promote COVID-19-safe practices; and (4)
protecting the most vulnerable by minimising the widening of existing inequalities (economic, gender,
social, geographic). Nonetheless, further adjustments to INOVASI’s budget are possible in this period
of economic uncertainty.
These adjustments create a challenge as activities and programs may have to be dropped or
downsized. While we have managed this so far, in future we will build a margin for error into budgets
and plans to anticipate further changes. During the final years of Phase I, INOVASI developed a
conservative approach to budgeting that allows for possible reductions. Going into Phase II, we are
taking a more proactive approach by exploring opportunities to attract additional funding from other
sources, including from the Indonesian government . This will not only counteract Australia’s declining
aid budget but also diversify the funding platform and strengthen the sustainability of the program’s
efforts.
ADAPTIVE, POLITICALLY-INFORMED APPROACHES
INOVASI adopted the PDIA approach developed by Harvard University’s Centre for International
Development. PDIA is an emerging and dynamic methodology that we are still learning and our
approach to it is still evolving within the program (Kleden 2020). Our approach to PDIA and adaptive
programming in Phase I was both effective and cutting-edge. This perception was supported in the
independent review conducted by DFAT (Nichols & Bodrogini 2019), in discussions at the Australian
Aid Conference in 2020 and in consultations with Lant Pritchett and senior RISE and Harvard
researchers. Nonetheless, PDIA and adaptive programming create risks and challenges, not least
being the long timeline and serious stakeholder engagement required for deep change to result.
This development and interpretation of PDIA in INOVASI has at times been contested, creating
tensions within the team. We refined the approach over Phase I, moving from a formulaic method for
classroom action research in the early Guru BAIK pilot to an integrated, politically-informed and
technically-sound approach to working with teachers, national stakeholders and districts in
subsequent pilots (Kleden 2020). Some saw this shift as abandoning the principles of PDIA at the
time and it did lead to a more uniform approach to teacher development modules during the first
round of ‘short-course’ pilots. However, we needed to find a balance between local ownership and
existing professional knowledge. We could not expect village teachers to solve problems on their
own without the benefit of local and international experience and understanding of how to teach
literacy and numeracy.
One key idea from PDIA is the need for a sufficiently large ‘change space’ to allow reform to take root
and to sustain this reform. This is known as the ‘triple A concept’ that refers to the need for ability,
authority and acceptance to be present and intersecting in any reform process. INOVASI has worked
mainly on developing the ability of teachers and administrators while thinking and working politically
to expand the authority for teachers to innovate and change their teaching practices. The new
Minister for Education and Culture is expanding this political dimension by issuing edicts and policies
to encourage diversity, deregulation and innovation at the local level. However, reforms can only
succeed with full support for the reform agenda from government officials at the various levels.
Furthermore, we have yet to systematically address the third ‘A’, acceptance. This is the cultural
dimension. While evidence from the early Guru BAIK pilot suggests teachers were developing a
growth mindset and becoming more accepting of change, this needs to be better incorporated into

37
the mainstream continuing professional development modules. Future pilots and related activities
need to focus on all three aspects in equal measure, depending on the context: ability (technical
capacity building), authority (thinking and working politically) and acceptance (cultural work to
develop a growth mindset among teachers and administrators).
Managing local initiatives in pilot design and implementation
Internal tension arose in 2018 between the central team’s desire to see its well-planned modules
faithfully implemented and the local teams’ desire to adapt and iterate the approach in response to
local challenges and opportunities. This was resolved in 2019 through dialogue and sharing local
initiatives that proved successful. In Phase II, we expect to work more closely with national as well
as local government counterparts in the co-design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of
pilots. We also expect to see provincial managers and their teams adopt a more diverse,
decentralised and bespoke approach to address local issues and maximise on local opportunities.
This will mitigate the risk of tension between technically-informed design and local initiative.
Adapting the generic training materials in response to local feedback requires a high level of capacity
among district and local facilitators. Ensuring the quality of the adapted design and implementation
means coordinating with the central team and this takes time. These resources – capacity and time
– are not always available. Overall, the approach worked better in some regions than others but this
was mainly due to the strength of leadership at provincial level.
While local facilitators cannot be expected to adapt training materials, they can adapt and develop
the strategies, concepts, assessment ideas and activities in INOVASI’s generic materials. In Phase
II, INOVASI will explore and pilot approaches to remote training for continuing professional
development facilitators, quality control and delivering materials to teachers that allow for local
ownership and contextualisation.
We also need to make it clear to districts that when INOVASI pilots a new approach, we cannot be
sure it will work until the evidence is in. Districts and other partners need to realise that the pilot
process is iterative and developmental, and that they are partners in that process. They are not
‘buying’ an approach with guaranteed results.
3.2 Lessons Learned
Key lessons from INOVASI’s experience in Phase I are as follows:

• The PDIA approach works well at district level. In districts like Bulungan, where the PDIA
methodology and the ‘thinking and working politically’ approach was most successfully
implemented, the districts took ownership of the problem and the solutions, leading to proven
practices being scaled out across the whole district. This included teacher training in literacy
through teachers’ working groups, book procurement, and coordination with local libraries and
village-based reading centres.
• Initial pilots can be small and affordable but still produce significant results. For example,
Bulungan began with pilot programs in only seven schools.
• Effective pilots are comprehensive and draw on the knowledge of what works and what does not
work from previous projects. Over 50 years of partnership between the Australian and Indonesian
governments, the non-government sector and other donors in Indonesia, the most successful
pilots have drawn on earlier work, taken a political approach at district level, and involved co-
funding and partnerships with all levels of government, with universities and non-governmental
38
organisations. The successful technical training program for teachers, for example, learned from
the ‘pure’ PDIA approach used in the earlier Guru BAIK pilot in West Nusa Tenggara that relied
on teachers’ initiative without providing the benefits of technical training.
• Localised programs and sub-national actors can drive national policy change. For example, as
a result of innovative approaches in North Kalimantan, the national government changed
regulations and practices around book approval to streamline the process and allow schools to
procure more books.
• Using evidence as it emerges can build local ownership of the problem and drive reform. The
most successful pilot teams did not wait for the lengthy process of producing ‘rigorous’ results
but instead used preliminary findings from rapid assessments to get buy-in from local partners.

4 MONITORING, EVALUATION, RESEARCH AND LEARNING
4.1 Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Systems in Phase I: Strengths
and Weaknesses
INOVASI’s monitoring, evaluation, research and learning (MERL) system was designed to have three
levels in Phase I:
1. Program-level monitoring and evaluation (long feedback loop, aggregated baselines and
endlines);
2. Pilot-level monitoring, evaluation and learning (intermediate feedback loop, structured baseline
and endline, and spot checks.)
3. Pilot-level monitoring and experiential learning (tight feedback loop, day-to-day observations,
reflection and learning) (INOVASI January 2018).
In implementing this three-tier structure, the baseline and endline surveys used
to evaluate individual pilots formed the core of the baseline and endline surveys
used to evaluate the program. This integrated or ‘nested’ structure produced
strong consistent data but was also problematic in that it did not address the
unique character of each individual pilot. While this weakness was made up for
to some extent in spot checks and other measures such as pre-tests and post-
tests, it was a missed opportunity.
The system also included a responsive research component and a learning
component, focused on knowledge sharing. The strength of this system in
Phase I is that it produced strong, credible evidence that has driven reform,
informing the decision-making process at both national and sub-national
levels. What makes the evidence credible is that it focused on learning outcomes, rather than using
teacher behaviour as a proxy. Evidence of change in teacher behaviour was useful for explaining
why learning outcomes improved – but learning outcomes are what matters to decision-makers.
MoEC recognised this approach as a model for its large-scale Program Organisasi Penggerak and
appreciated the PDIA elements that mean implementers can learn by doing when they do not yet
have a fully-defined approach or solution.
Box 5: INOVASI’s monitoring, evaluation, research and learning system
The evidence produced from pilots and responsive research has informed policy as intended and
was well received in public consultations (such as Temu INOVASI) and discussions with government
and donor partners. The learning component ensured that knowledge produced by the program was

41
shared internally and with development partners, including DFAT, as well as externally with the
government and non-governmental organisations. The evidence from pilots, research, international
experience and previous programs was brought together in seven thematic studies on: continuing
professional development and sustainability; literacy; numeracy; gender equality and social inclusion;
disability inclusion; PDIA; and partnerships (see annex 1).
The MERL approach also had its weaknesses. Monitoring and evaluation are critical to INOVASI’s
theory of change and scale-out strategy because of their role in producing evidence. This strategy
requires a flexible and nimble system that can provide quick feedback at the same time as building
a credible body of evidence of what works. This area of the program still needs improvement.
Four fundamental design problems emerged with INOVASI’s MERL approach during Phase I:
1. Integrating the pilot and program level baseline–endline data and analysis reduced the value
of both program and pilot evidence. The program evaluation suffered because of the short-
term nature of the pilots and lack of a methodology to trace policy impacts. Instead of program
outcome evidence having the quality of a three-year experiment, the outcomes are based on
6–12 month periods (the overall span of the pilot rounds).
2. The MERL imperatives for ‘rigour and credibility’ as well as ‘speed and responsiveness’
seemed to be competing.
3. The iterative nature of INOVASI’s pilots made it difficult to hold constant what was being
evaluated, a bit like trying to hit a moving target.
4. A technical problem was the ambitious database in terms of the amount of data to be
collected. This occurred because the SIPPI data system was developed before we knew
exactly what information we should collect and analyse. This made the system expensive and
slow, and the data difficult to manage, creating challenges for advisors and researchers.
These problems were compounded by the decision to outsource data collection to local agencies.
From one perspective, this increased objectivity – and therefore credibility – of the results. However,
from another perspective, it reduced credibility because the enumerators collecting data were mostly
not professional educators and were thus unable to interpret or understand the classroom practice
they were observing. The division of responsibilities within the INOVASI team, between the MERL
and education personnel, also created inefficiencies and concerns about credibility. While the
baseline–endline mechanism is too cumbersome for the pace of pilots and scale out, we have not
been able to optimise evidence of improvement from short feedback loops. The results are generally
credible but the current system proved too slow to provide timely feedback for government partners
and for implementers.
Districts, national government and DFAT all work within the constraints of budget and planning cycles
that require planning for up to a year. Meanwhile, baseline–endline studies do not provide evidence
until around six months after a pilot is completed. The pilot-level monitoring and experiential
evaluation approach intended to provide quick feedback within the pilots, was not as effective as
expected. In this context, the pilot process itself is problematic. Pilots implemented within a six-month
cycle may not produce convincing evidence of improved learning outcomes. Moreover, the PDIA
process assumes that pilots are developed in an iterative way and that it takes time – probably several
years in our context – to produce the rigour of results that can inform scale out and policy. This
timeframe is too long for the four-year program cycle.
INOVASI’s MERL strategy and results framework were redesigned in the second half of 2017. The
monitoring and evaluation functions were integrated with the previously separate research and
42
learning functions. This allowed only two years to implement the new system. In this period, INOVASI
focused on ‘exploring the design space’ – working with local partners to find solutions to problems of
education quality – leaving the production of rigorous evidence to others or to a later stage.
INOVASI’s iterative, exploratory pilot approach does not produce hard evidence. It does require
credible evidence, however, to support scale out and scale up to policy level. It is only when
successfully piloted solutions are scaled out (or even better scaled up to sub-national and national
policy level) that more statistically rigorous studies can be conducted to generate evidence of the
effectiveness of solutions. The Phase I MERL strategy, re-designed in 2017, did not allow for
comprehensive evaluation of scaled-out programs. Randomised controlled trials (or similar) may be
undertaken in Phase II, possibly by a third party. 20 Against this background, we are currently
reviewing approaches to baseline–endline studies, spot checks, reflection and strategy-testing
processes:
• Baseline–endline studies: INOVASI conducted baseline and endline studies on all pilots in Phase
I using the program’s SIPPI framework and instruments. These studies include substantial
student learning assessments, teacher surveys, classroom observations, interviews and
contextual data collection. In Phase II, we will improve the processes for generating credible
evidence to support scale out and scale up in two ways: (1) by reducing the amount of data and
size of samples for baseline–endline studies to enable an affordable, quicker turnaround; and (2)
by tailoring the instruments and methodologies to the themes in each pilot to ensure we obtain
more subject-specific data for analysis.
• Spot checks: INOVASI conducted spot checks during pilot implementation in Phase I and updated
the instruments in 2019. These spot checks included classroom observations, surveys and
interviews, and gave early indications of any successes. They also enabled deeper analysis of
variables to answer the questions about how and why change occurs and makes a difference to
learning outcomes in different contexts. However, budget constraints in Phase I meant that spot
checks were only undertaken once for each pilot. This approach is being reviewed for Phase II
as we may need to integrate the spot check and reflection or pilot monitoring processes.
• Reflection and pilot monitoring: INOVASI Phase I used a reflective process to provide real-time
feedback on pilot processes and enable iterations and ‘learning by doing’ through discussion with
local facilitators and participants in teachers’ working group sessions. We are working to improve
this reflection process for Phase II. The two roles of reflection, as a learning process and as a
means of producing evidence, need reconciling – and the process needs improving.
• Strategy testing: Strategy testing is integral to the adaptive approach. In Phase I it was not
integrated into MERL processes, leading to duplicative activity and strategy testing not being able
to access timely data to evaluate strategies.
4.2 Towards Phase II
As an adaptive program, INOVASI and TASS will review the MERL approaches in Phase I and design
an effective approach for Phase II. The new approach will build on the strengths of the approaches
in both the TASS and INOVASI Phase I programs and will include:
20In December 2017, Lant Pritchett, one of the authors of PDIA and a consultant to both INOVASI and RISE, visited INOVASI sites and
spent time with the team. In consultations between INOVASI and RISE, he recommended that INOVASI focus on ‘crawling the design
space’ and, when solutions are ready to be scaled out, RISE could conduct randomised control trial studies.

43
1. Appointing TASS’s international advisor as monitoring and evaluation advisor, and INOVASI’s
current strategic planning advisor as research and learning advisor;
2. Introducing a methodology to trace policy – attributing contributions to policy development and
changes in practice resulting from policies implemented – based on the successful TASS
approach to program evaluation;
3. Ensuring that monitoring and evaluation systems capture not only improvements in learning
outcomes but changes in behaviour and systemic change;
4. Engaging national and sub-national stakeholders by: giving them greater ownership of the MERL
process and outputs; co-designing and co-implementing the pilots and co-publishing the results;
doing more structured joint monitoring visits; and involving stakeholders in monitoring field activity
and setting targets around sustainability;
5. Instituting a strong reflection process to enable learning-by-doing and an iterative, continuing
improvement process within pilots, and better integrating the MERL, Education Program
Development and Communications team members in the provincial teams;
6. Taking a more targeted, rigorous and consistent approach to measuring learning outcomes,
tailored to the key pilot themes in each location (literacy, numeracy, character education, and so
on). The approach may draw on lessons from DFAT’s teacher development multi-year study
series conducted in Lao PDR, Timor-Leste and Vanuatu (DFAT 2019);
7. Strengthening qualitative research approaches to answer the ‘why?’ question in pilots: what
works and why;
8. Integrating financial monitoring to better evaluate the cost–benefit of different approaches;
9. Developing a lighter, nimbler database and data management system for quicker turnaround and
easy access to data and findings from pilots and responsive research;
10. Conducting longitudinal pilots and studies that may use existing data from earlier pilots and
include longer pilots with a built-in six-month cycle of activity but longer engagement with selected
schools and teachers;
11. Using stronger integration and a more structured methodology for routine strategy testing;
12. Seeking opportunities for small-scale responsive research to support demand from government
partners and to explore findings from the pilots.

5 COMMUNICATIONS
Given the iterative, locally-focused and problem-driven nature of INOVASI, the Communications
team had to be agile and proactive to play an effective strategic role. Over the course of Phase I, we
strengthened our communications systems, processes and platforms, and significantly increased our
communications products and media engagements. As more evidence emerged from the pilots and
from strategic research and policy initiatives, particularly in the 2018–2019 period, the
Communication unit used various ways to target and reach audiences (INOVASI 2018). In the 2019–
2020 period, INOVASI’s strategic
communications function evolved
again, as the need to inform policy and
practice became ever more vital.
5.1 Communication Products
Throughout the program, as

documented in the six-monthly reports,
INOVASI has produced a total of 714
communications products. This
includes stories from the field,
promising practice booklets,
newsletters, infographics, videos,
policy briefs, social media content,
press releases and other products for
significant meetings and events. In
2019, we conducted a communications
evaluation through a series of
interviews to assess the effectiveness
of our communications
21
strategy. Education stakeholders
reported that they value INOVASI
communications products that improve
and inspire changes in teaching
practice and classroom management.
Government stakeholders emphasised
that communications products and
platforms, including videos, are the most effective way to show what is happening on the ground and
give a human face to pilot progress and findings. They are also useful emotive tools during advocacy
efforts.
EVENTS
As part of INOVASI’s strategy to engage with the Indonesian government and foster dialogue around
evidence-based teaching practices that are proven to work, the program took various opportunities
to conduct or support government and partner-led events. Whether events are led or supported by
21 INOVASI internal communications evaluation report was submitted as annex 6 of the January 2020 six-monthly report.
46
INOVASI, they effectively promote program findings, practices and progress, and offer opportunities
to engage with and influence key decision makers. Temu INOVASI is a highly valued event format at
provincial and national levels. In 2018–2019, Temu INOVASI events were held at national level four
or five times a year. Events were also held at provincial level in East Java and West Nusa Tenggara,
and in various partner districts. In total, over the lifetime of the program (2016–2020) 17 such events
were held in Jakarta and at the provincial and district levels.
DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA REACH
Social media platforms are more effective in reaching INOVASI’s audience. As confirmed by our
monthly digital analytics, people generally prefer to access INOVASI products and content via the
program’s social media platforms – rather than on the INOVASI website.
Co-creating and disseminating content is vital for
digital sustainability. In the 2018–2019 period,
INOVASI engaged with MoEC’s information and
communication technology (ICT) department in a
number of ways. For example, the ICT department
hosted INOVASI products on its Rumah Belajar
(learning home) website, we jointly created content
for teachers’ radio and TV talk shows using online
platforms, and we shared initial ideas for a formal
partnership in Phase II. With its website, large
networks within and between all districts in
Indonesia, and internal digital equipment, the ICT
department is the ideal partner for INOVASI’s digital
scale out in the future. Furthermore, using digital
platforms will be key to scaling out teaching ideas
and practices.
INOVASI and TASS also organised a five-day study tour to Australia for MoEC’s ICT team and
ambassadors of Rumah Belajar in August 2019. This visit provided an opportunity for learning by
sharing common education problems and discussing solutions.
MEDIA COVERAGE
As seen through INOVASI’s media monitoring, updates and progress covered in strategic
publications hold far more weight than lesser-known media platforms. By the beginning of 2020,
INOVASI appeared in 116 articles in both Kompas (print) and Kompas.com. At the national level,
publications like these are more likely to reach targeted MoEC stakeholders. When shared through
the MoEC/INOVASI WhatsApp group, the Kompas publication name also holds more value. This is
echoed at the district level.
STRATEGIES THAT SERVE AUDIENCE AND PURPOSE
Tailoring products for different audiences and purposes is key in INOVASI’s current communications
approach. A one-size-fits-all approach to developing and disseminating products is inadequate and
will not be effective in the long term. We will need strategies for different audiences and different
purposes. Many district-level stakeholders emphasised that certain products may suit the local
context and certain platforms would be better based on local needs.

47
SUPPORTING GENDER EQUALITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION INITIATIVES
During Phase I, INOVASI’s Communications team mainstreamed gender, disability and social
inclusion best practices in developing and disseminating all communications materials. We ensure
that our materials do not reproduce negative gender and social stereotypes and that content is
balanced and inclusive. This includes videos, talk show panels at events as well as imagery used in
publications, digital materials and training modules. We strive to reflect the diversity of partner
students and teachers wherever possible. The Communications team also played a pivotal role in
ensuring compliance with child protection requirements. All products comply with DFAT’s child
protection policy and guidelines for staff, referring to the use of social media accounts, geo tagging,
and managing child and parent consent forms when taking photos and videos.
5.2 Towards Phase II
Communications are essential to the program strategy for both Phase I and Phase II. The role of
communications is more strategic in INOVASI than in other programs where the focus is primarily on
promoting the program and supporting public diplomacy. In addition to these functions, INOVASI
relies on communications to support a policy advocacy agenda and to share evidence and good
practices developed in the program. However, measuring the level of influence of communications is
not straightforward and more needs to be done to develop this process in Phase II. This will be built
into the updated MERL strategy. Early in Phase II, we expect to update the program Communications
Strategy and conduct a study to evaluate the effectiveness of communications in supporting policy
and practice change.

6 CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
INOVASI has three major cross-cutting issues – gender equality, social inclusion (disability,
remoteness and ethnicity) and child protection. These were built into the design, implementation and
evaluation of all activities and programs. In addition, INOVASI increased its efforts over Phase I on
environmental impact and private-sector engagement. The Gender Equality and Social Inclusion
(GESI) Strategy (revised in October 2018 and due for further revision in 2020) addresses issues of
access to education, opportunities and barriers to learning, and how best to reflect INOVASI’s
commitment to providing quality education to all children.
Box 6: Key activities focusing on cross-cutting issues
6.1 Gender
Although INOVASI did not focus on gender equality in Phase I, this issue nevertherless featured in
our work as follows: we achieved a modest reduction in the ‘boys’ achievement gap’ in numeracy
and literacy in INOVASI pilot schools; we used sex-disaggregated instruments for most of our data
collection and analysis; we screened the final versions of all our pilot materials to ensure they were
‘inclusive’ before formally handing over to MoEC; we discussed how gender is relevant within
INOVASI (harassment) and in operations (recruitment) among the INOVASI family; and lastly we
incorporated gender equality and social inclusion materials in all INOVASI pilots.
Challenges related to gender and social inclusion persisted during this period. For example:
stereotyping in textbooks and school practices; disproportionate promotion of men within the
bureaucracy; and the lack of differentiated teaching practices, among others. We plan to review and
address these issues in Phase II.
6.2 Disability and Inclusion
Disability and inclusion are key areas for INOVASI. Early findings highlighted the challenges to
delivering quality education for students with disabilities. These include, for example, teachers’ ability
to identify disability and address learning support needs for students with disabilities, and the limited
enrolment of children with disabilities due to systemic and socio-cultural barriers. At the request of
the district government, the first inclusive education pilot was implemented in 19 schools, including
50
four madrasah in Central Lombok. Baseline data showed low levels of competence among teachers
in literacy and numeracy that was a potential confounder in teachers’ assumptions about students
who have disabilities. The early pilot was restructured to build in teacher competencies in literacy,
with an emphasis on inclusive teaching skills. Subsequent inclusive education pilots focused more
directly on disability-inclusive education.
The second round of inclusive pilots was implemented in 27 schools, including two madrasah, across
Central Lombok, East Sumba and Probolinggo. In East Sumba and Central Lombok, grant-based
partnerships included Circle of Imagine Society (CIS) Timur and University of Mataram respectively,
while training in Probolinggo and Central Lombok was provided through locally-recruited facilitators,
thus contributing to sustainability and preparing for subsequent government-led scale out pilots. The
pilots used the five-unit disability-inclusive education module to build teachers’ skills in using the
Student Learning Profile to identify students with functional difficulties and address their learning and
support needs.
With support from INOVASI and TASS, MoEC developed an application to
collect data and map the distribution of students with disabilities to inform
human resource planning for special education teachers and mentors. A
plan to film online training to expand the use of the Student Learning Profile
is pending due to the COVID-19 pandemic. MoRA has started training
supervisors and principals to use the Student Learning Profile primarily so
they can identify the needs of inclusive madrasah at the local level and
justify awarding ‘inclusion’ grants.22
Endline findings show that students in the pilot schools in all three districts
have better attitudes towards their peers with disabilities, while teachers’
attitudes, confidence and knowledge have also improved. In East Sumba,
village heads, community members and school principals were more open
to enrolling children with disabilities in mainstream schools. However, endline assessments of
priorities show that only 5–10 per cent of teachers and principals consider inclusive education to be
a top priority. The issue is eclipsed by concerns around infrastructure, support to teachers, learning
facilities and budgets or staffing, highlighting the fundamental challenges facing many schools.
Disability and gender inclusion were not a focus for the governance aspects of Phase I. However,
these issues will be addressed in Phase II, with measures put in place to ensure that women, people
with disabilities and other marginalised groups are well represented in steering committees and
governance bodies, as well as in program activities.
6.3 Child Protection
All INOVASI personnel received refresher or induction training in child protection, the code of
conduct, diversity and respectful workplaces. Over Phase I, INOVASI improved its safeguarding
mechanisms based on lessons learned from the field. This included having focal point personnel in
each province, making reporting mechanisms accessible at the community level and developing
appropriate materials on child safeguarding for INOVASI staff, partners, local facilitators and
teachers.
22In 2019, MoRA piloted the Student Learning Profile at around the same time as MoEC. In late 2019, MoRA started
awarding grants to inclusive madrasah and using the Student Learning Profile to identify the needs of the madrasah and
their eligibility for the grants.

51
6.4 Environmental Policy
To minimise negative impacts resulting from aid investments and to reduce the vulnerability of
communities to disaster and climate change, INOVASI conducted an environmental assessment
early in 2019. We also decided to ban the use of single-use plastic in key program activities where
feasible, in accordance with DFAT’s environmental and social safeguard policy. This ban extended
to venues that organised our national events, as well as INOVASI event venues at the provincial,
district and school levels. At the INOVASI Jakarta office, waste management has improved and staff
separate office waste into plastic, paper and organics to send to a recycling company twice a week.
In terms of reducing environmental disaster risk, INOVASI continues to ensure the safety of staff
during environmental events, like the Kalimantan fires, by providing masks and allowing staff to work
from home.
6.5 Private Sector Engagement
In championing the sustainable expansion of the INOVASI and grant-funded pilots, the program has
proactively explored partnerships with the private sector. In North Kalimantan, the broad collaboration
involved the private sector (specifically through the corporate social responsibility program of local
industry),23 book suppliers and village libraries or literacy working groups to support the procurement
of children’s reading books. In West Sumba, two school libraries were built and more are planned
from private funds raised by Rainbow Reading Gardens, one of our grantee partners. In other districts
in East Nusa Tenggara, a range of stakeholders engaged in improving education quality, including
the private sector and corporate social responsibility projects. INOVASI also collaborated with the
Tanoto Foundation to co-develop training for the Numeracy 2 module and to co-host INOVASI’s
Learning Days.
Going forward in Phase II we will increasingly focus on: leveraging private-sector funding; building
coalitions of change; creating partnerships between universities, local government, non-government
agencies and the private sector; and finding common spaces where interests intersect around
funding and programming to improve learning outcomes in literacy, numeracy and inclusion.
Sustainability will increase with more parts of the ecosystem working together to improve learning
outcomes and education quality.
23
In North Kalimantan at the provincial level, the literacy working group organised for companies’ corporate social
responsibility funds to support book procurement, particularly reading books for children. The companies involved included
Bank Indonesia and MEDCO. In Malinau district, North Kalimantan, PT Baradinamika Mudasukses (a mining company)
supported reading by providing reading books and financing village representatives to attend reading centre strengthening
activities hosted by INOVASI.

7 SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is central to the INOVASI Phase I program design as its ultimate goal is to support and
inform policy and practice development in education at sub-national and national levels. Initially, we
piloted local solutions to learning problems identified by the partner districts. This approach evolved
as INOVASI revitalised the teachers’ working groups and trained local facilitators to pilot short
courses to improve teachers’ professional practice in key areas. INOVASI also worked at system
level with districts, provinces and national governments to embed the lessons from these pilots in
policy and programs. This work is expected to continue in Phase II.
The purpose of scaling out successful practices was three-fold: (1) to increase the impact of the
program, reaching a wider group of schools, teachers and students; (2) to find out if the approaches
worked to improve learning outcomes in different contexts and at the system level; and (3) to build a
strong partnership and a sense of ownership for the INOVASI program within government. This
ownership is intended to sustain both the approach to continuous improvement and the results from
the program activities.
The question of sustainability needs to be considered in this context. The 2019 independent review
of INOVASI and other DFAT education investments reported as follows:
‘The move to the short course modality has been an effective approach to build the competency
of teachers and improve learning outcomes for students, rather than focusing on PDIA as an
activity in itself for the initiation of each pilot. However, caution should be exercised in
developing further “implementation” activities for expansion, rather than a true piloting and
testing phase to address new problems. Sustainability should be sought in local levels (and
national government) taking up the lessons from proven pilot lessons rather than expanding
implementation of successful activities to new locations’ (Nichols and Bodrogini 2019, 28).
Sustainability may include:
1. Changes to teaching and education management practices that continue beyond the life of
the program, demonstrating the sustainability of the outcomes.
2. Successfully piloted approaches, such as implementing short courses or using the Student
Learning Profile, that are expanded through independent funding and by independent
implementers. Funding can come from government (especially district budgets), the private
sector, philanthropy or donor programs, such as the World Bank funded loan for continuing
professional development in MoRA. Implementers can include: districts; other government
agencies, such as the educational quality assurance agencies; non-governmental
organisations; and universities. This demonstrates the sustainability of the approach.
3. ‘Scaling up’ program outcomes, in the form of changes to systems, policy and programs in
the government that result in improved learning outcomes. This broader form of sustainability
represents the sustainability of principles established by the pilots.
While these are all valid, as suggested in the extract from the strategic review, Phase II of INOVASI
is designed to tackle the third aspect of sustainability: scaling up to system level. Meanwhile we still
need to monitor the first two aspects, including the scale out to new schools and districts, to confirm
and further improve the effectiveness of the approaches introduced in Phase I. In other words, we
need to find out what works at system level. This will provide stronger evidence to inform policy as it
evolves.

7.1 Scale-out and Sustainability: Evidence from Phase I
INOVASI’s thematic study on continuing professional development and sustainability (Cannon

2020)24 addresses two main questions about sustainability and scale out: is there evidence to show
which approaches are likely to be sustained – and why; and is there evidence to show which
approaches have actually been sustained – and why? An analysis of the literature, INOVASI
documents, field data and the results of case studies confirms that INOVASI’s approaches are likely
to lead to the sustainability and scale out of benefits from the pilots. This conclusion is informed by
testing INOVASI’s approaches in context against a set of educational, management and
sustainability/scale-out indicators. Phase II will provide an opportunity to test this empirically.
The thematic study offers further evidence that the benefits from past development project activities
have been sustained. These are primarily in teaching and learning but also in school-based
management and these benefits reinforce INOVASI’s work. Factors associated with sustainability at
school level include: (1) the relevance of the learning and teaching approaches adopted for teachers’
day-to-day work; (2) the increased motivation to teach derived from seeing students’ results improve;
(3) educational leadership provided by principals and supervisors; and (4) a strong sense of local
ownership and responsibility for change. Another element that would enhance ownership and
sustainability is if the role of local facilitators, trained through the pilots, could be institutionalised
giving them the status and authority to continue their mentoring support in the schools and working
groups after the program ends.
District governments’ policies and regulations, as well as their financial support, further reflect local
ownership. In line with INOVASI’s theory of change, the thematic study finds that:
‘…sustainability and scale out are being achieved from the “bottom–up” by teachers and
facilitators, initially within schools, but subsequently at more substantial levels, including the
teachers’ working groups, sub-districts and districts as a whole’ (Cannon 2020).
Notwithstanding this, INOVASI’s spot-check data shows that most of the pilot schools do not allocate
schools operational funds to some core teaching support processes. Experience also shows that
continuing professional development programs are often not sustained beyond the life of the
program. This is partly due to facilitators being absorbed back into the system without the funding or
status to continue their role and districts discontinuing funds and support for the training. Another risk
is that districts rely on the donor-funded program to provide materials and train facilitators and,
without ongoing technical support, the program fades even when the district is financially committed
to continuing it. These risks will be acknowledged and addressed in Phase II, beginning with a joint
review and sustainability strategy development process with our counterparts. Going forward into
Phase II, we need to assess to what degree the positive results from Phase I are being sustained,
including the outcomes from Guru BAIK, the grant-funded partnerships and the later pilots. Phase II
will provide a rare opportunity for a longitudinal study of impact and sustainability and a chance to
explore ways to ensure sustainability.
INOVASI’s success in producing sustainable outcomes in Phase I is indicated primarily by the

principles established in the pilots and research activities that are being used to inform government
policy and practice at national and sub-national levels:
• New districts are buying into the program and planning to fully fund the scale out of successful
practices to transform teaching and learning for basic skills in literacy, numeracy and inclusion;

55
• Partner districts are funding the scale out of activities to reach all teachers;
• Non-governmental organisations are establishing partnerships with districts to expand

successfully piloted programs;
• MoEC is also reviewing its national curriculum, assessment policies and practices, and
INOVASI’s pilots are helping to inform this process. Technical assistance for this process was
provided by TASS in the first phase.
Notwithstanding these strong indicators of success, Phase II provides a unique opportunity to

improve and test the approaches developed under Phase I and to confirm their sustainability – as
well as the sustainability of INOVASI’s program-level approach to adaptive programming and iterative
development. The core principles of partnership, adaptability, learning by doing, and ‘thinking and
working politically’ will be further developed and tested through Phase II of INOVASI.
GOVERNANCE AS A SUSTAINABILITY MECHANISM
As described in the introduction, INOVASI is a partnership. Over the four and a half years of Phase
I, this sense of partnership and ownership has grown steadily, along with the trust built among
partners at national level by TASS and INOVASI – and at sub-national level, primarily by INOVASI.
This places us in a strong position to further build the sense of ownership and commitment to the
program in Phase II. Ideally, by the end of Phase II, INOVASI will be fully embedded in the Indonesian
system and fully owned by our partners, in a way that sustains the program’s achievements beyond
the period of DFAT’s financial support. One way to support this process is through governance
arrangements.
Throughout Phase I, INOVASI and TASS shared a national steering committee that was chaired by
the head of MoEC’s research and development body. The chairperson, Totok Suprayitno, became a
strong advocate for the program. The committee, comprised of senior government officials, held six-
monthly meetings with the program management team and DFAT. Over time, these meetings
evolved to become larger and more representative and included a number of program personnel and
partners from national and sub-national levels. INOVASI’s Management Unit was set up late in the
second year, to provide a forum for echelon 2 and 3 personnel in MoEC to participate and to arrange
joint monitoring visits to the field.
At sub-national level, the arrangements also evolved over time. DFAT did not have a memorandum
of understanding with provinces or districts – these were signed between the national government,
represented by the national steering committee chairperson, and the sub-national governments,
represented by the governor. In West Nusa Tenggara, the first partner province, memorandums were
established with the province and partner districts. In the other later provinces, the agreement was
between national and provincial government, with partner districts as signatories. Sub-national
governments were usually represented at provincial steering committee meetings by the deputy
governor and deputy regent in each district. Meetings were typically held every six months. District
planning meetings were held occasionally in the lead up to steering committee meetings, to allow for
a less formal, more interactive joint planning process.
This arrangement worked well and supported a sense of ownership within the Indonesian
government. Based on this experience in Phase II, we recommend keeping the national steering
committee small and confining meetings to the membership of senior officials who can take decisions.
They may appreciate the opportunity to meet across sectors and ministries at this high level and
focus on policy and how INOVASI can support the development of better policy to improve learning
56
outcomes. The committee can continue to be chaired by a senior MoEC official and possibly co-
chaired with MoRA. A smaller committee can approve annual work plans and consider the Indonesian
government contributions (in finances and in-kind) to the program as it progresses in Phase II. The
national steering committee can establish standing working groups to address key themes, including
cross-ministerial coordination, national–sub-national coordination and coordination with the non-
government sector. These working groups can replace INOVASI’s current Management Unit and
provide for greater participation and ownership. At sub-national level, we recommend that the
government’s internal memorandum of understanding be between national and provincial
governments only, with arrangements for districts left to the discretion of the provinces. This
arrangement should allow for more flexibility, enabling districts to enter or leave the program as
commitments and contexts evolve.
In Phase II INOVASI team members will use inclusive language and INOVASI will no longer be
characterised as a program funded by DFAT and delivered by Palladium. It is a partnership, co-
funded and jointly managed with the Indonesian government. For example, there should be no
distinction between INOVASI pilots and locally-funded pilots as all pilots will be co-designed and co-
implemented. If governance arrangements are handled well by both partners and if conditions are
conducive and there is a perceived need for INOVASI to continue beyond Phase II, it may then be
possible for the national steering committee to continue to manage a fully Indonesian phase of the
INOVASI program.

Executive Summary: Literacy Thematic Study
Fearnley-Sander, Mary. 2020. What Works and Why: Emerging Evidence from INOVASI on Effective Practice
in Early Grades Literacy. Jakarta: INOVASI.
This study provides an account of INOVASI’s approach to improving early grades literacy in the
program partner areas, the emerging evidence on the outcomes of this approach for students and
teachers, and an analysis of what works to improve teaching and learning in those contexts.
INOVASI’s literacy orientation derives from Indonesia’s own nation-building vision of literacy as the
means of widening horizons and capabilities in individuals and communities, as outlined in the
Ministerial Regulation No 23 of 2015 on Character Development that triggered Indonesia’s literacy
movement. This shares the belief in literacy’s potential that underpins literacy studies internationally.
INOVASI’s support aligned with government’s aspirations in its approach to building strong
foundations for thinking skills in the early grades.
Taking a problem-based capability-building development approach, INOVASI supported districts in
identifying problems and piloting contextually-adapted solutions. Focusing on INOVASI’s lead pilots,
the study investigates whether student and teacher literacy outcomes improved as a result of these
experiments and what elements contributed to or challenged change.
The study develops an analytical framework to assess INOVASI’s work in improving literacy and to
explore the program’s extensive data resources. INOVASI’s effect is aligned with strategies
evidenced to work in global and Indonesian research and this lends value to the local evidence
generated by the program. The study also conducts its own teaching case studies to elucidate the
significance of quantitative findings by thick descriptions of practice and to probe the mindset drivers
of teachers’ behaviour that influence classroom teaching and learning and their expectations of their
students’ potential in literacy.
Key findings from the study show that student outcomes improved over the pilots – more than could
be explained by natural growth – and students’ comprehension skills showed the most gain. The
main findings on teacher improvement are that most teachers participating acquired critical skills of
teaching reading. The most significant of these skills is their new capacity to identify the nature of a
child’s reading problem and organise teaching to address it. Making learners’ problems the focus of
teaching is potentially the point of departure for student-centred teaching. Developing students’
understanding and engagement with learning to their full potential depends on that shift.
The key findings on what worked can be classified as those elements that mitigated the
disadvantages of a particular context. In this process, the commitment to literacy development shown
by most district governments was a critical element. A pattern throughout the findings was that the
most disadvantaged districts made the most gains and, with the support of the intervention, showed
their capability of quickly closing the gap with the more advantaged districts. A related finding was
that where pilot adaptations specifically targeted contextual difficulties, such as with language of
instruction or access to books for children to read, outcomes outstripped the results of the mainstream
approach to improving teachers’ know-how in teaching reading.
60
Such findings have implications for future strategies to maintain and extend the gains in literacy. The
short duration of the pilots means that while the shift towards student-centred teaching practices has
been remarkable, a permanent paradigm shift is not yet guaranteed.

Executive Summary: Numeracy Thematic Study
van der Heijden, Mary. 2020. What Works and Why: Emerging Evidence from INOVASI on Effective Practice
in Early Grades Numeracy. Jakarta: INOVASI
This study was designed and conducted by INOVASI to explore the impact of two main pilot teacher
training programs on the teaching and learning of early grade numeracy concepts. These 'short
courses’ were implemented in partner districts in Indonesia. The process was underpinned by the
program’s theory of change based on a problem-driven iterative adaptation approach (PDIA). The
study discusses what works in INOVASI’s partner districts and potentially in other Indonesian
contexts to develop the numeracy knowledge, skills and behaviours, including fluency and flexibility
with numbers, that students and teachers need.
Over the last ten years, the results for 15-year old Indonesian students participating in the Programme
for International Student Assessment (PISA) show little improvement and about 40 per cent of the
students scored below the lowest level in the international standard. In 2018, the results in
mathematics show Indonesia ranking 70th out of 77 other countries, with a persistently and
particularly low achievement level in thinking ability, mathematical inquiry and reasoning. This means
that if students do not develop these basic competencies in numeracy then the prospect of a highly
skilled and relevant workforce remains slim.
Although factors such as curricula, leadership, funding, family interest and involvement all contribute to
student achievement, the most influential factor is the teacher. INOVASI’s two numeracy pilot studies in
Indonesia consisted of two main teacher training programmes involving over four hundred teachers and
over 10,000 students in grades one to three.
The training programs that INOVASI designed and conducted had to be practical, engaging and
reflective in order to develop teachers’ own understanding of the curriculum content and how young
children learn basic concepts. The 'short courses’ took place in district cluster teachers’ working
group (KKG) meetings and were presented by locally-trained facilitators who also supported teachers
through mentoring sessions in the classroom.
The study collected both quantitative and qualitative data to establish what works in INOVASI’s
partner districts and to investigate to what extent training teachers in specific areas will result in
improved student learning outcomes. The emphasis was on teaching methods, providing and using
appropriate materials and improving students’ higher-order thinking skills in applying their newly
developed knowledge and skills.
The mixed method approach discussed in the study includes: teacher observations; student and
teacher assessments; teacher interviews; and in-depth video observations.
Our overall findings suggest that teachers improved their own understanding of the mathematical
content and the pedagogy needed to support children’s understanding of basic numeracy concepts.
The quality of teachers’ knowledge and skills in teaching numeracy progressed significantly. This in
turn led to gains in students’ ability in both conceptual knowledge and understanding in number and
in their ability to demonstrate their reasoning and apply their knowledge. Teachers used relevant
concrete and visual materials effectively to scaffold students understanding towards more abstract
concepts. They also asked students more open-ended questions, although students needed more
exposure and experience in explaining the processes and thinking about how they arrived at a
solution. Teachers also organised the classes so that students were in groups and, in the video
studies, teachers had used pre-assessment data to organise the groups.
62
Students overall progressed in understanding and applying numbers. The use of materials to aid
learning was evident in the videod lessons and teachers reported that the students were more
engaged as a result. Both students and teachers needed more support in understanding how the use
of materials helped them to learn specific concepts and be able to explain them. However based on
the endline assessments, students progressed in reasoning and application. While the baseline
showed that boys were often behind girls in mathematics, after the training pilots the boys progressed
as much as and in some cases more than the girls.
This study provides evidence from INOVASI’s first phase that suggests more time and emphasis
should be given in the curriculum for teachers to focus on early conceptual knowledge, skills and
understanding. This will ensure a solid basis for more abstract learning later on.
Teachers have not been exposed to the methods that are essential in developing a deeper
understanding of number and the students have not had adequate time to practise and explore
number concepts. The training in the teachers’ working group meetings means that teachers can
continue to learn with and from others and will be able to build on their teaching practices.
Differentiated training for teachers and principals would also create awareness and support for new
aproaches.
Teaching and learning materials that fit the context, and are manageable and appropriate for the
varying levels need to be provided and should be aligned with the students’ learning needs.
Teachers also need to conduct varied and regular assessments so they can use the outcomes
effectively to organise the class. These assessments will give them insights into any difficulties or
misconceptions the students may have so they can better meet individual, group and whole-class
learning needs.

Executive Summary: Continuing Professional Development Thematic Study
Cannon, Robert. 2020. Continuing Professional Development and Sustainability. INOVASI. Jakarta
INOVASI’s approach to improving learning outcomes in early grades is through a strategy known as
problem-driven iterative adaptation (PDIA). Development strategies begin with understanding local
challenges, and designing, implementing, and testing contextually-relevant intervention pilots to
improve learning and teaching. Working with local communities of practice, the teachers’ working
group, is a key strategy. The continuing professional development (CPD) of teachers, principals and
supervisors is the common approach to achieve change.
This study explores whether INOVASI’s approach works – and why – with a focus on the CPD of
early-grade teachers through short courses in literacy, numeracy and supporting issues. The study
further considers the sustainability and scale-out of benefits to local stakeholders. INOVASI’s
approach to CPD, sustainability, and scale-out is consistent with the findings of studies published in
the international and local literature. Used as a benchmark, these studies indicate no shortcomings
in either INOVASI’s design or implementation of change. This outcome is reflected in the success of
the work being undertaken in districts and schools. The evidence is that INOVASI and its Indonesian
partners are working at the cutting-edge of sound, educational development practice in school reform
to achieve improved learning outcomes in literacy and numeracy for children.
The success of INOVASI’s approach is due to its alignment with government policies, with the needs
of teachers and schools, and with the evidence for educational change. The findings of the study
confirm that PDIA principles are relevant in helping Indonesian education to become ‘unstuck’ in its
progress towards achieving quality outcomes at scale, and in explaining what works and why in CPD
and the sustainability and scale-out of benefits.
Case studies from East Java provide insights into how the processes of sustainability and scale-out
have operated, demonstrating the face-validity of a set of indicators developed for the study. Further
work is essential to develop an understanding of sustainability and the scale-out of benefits in other
cultural contexts in Indonesia where INOVASI is also working.
School improvement must be managed on a continuing basis and not as a ‘one-off’ event. Accessible
and continuing technical support to schools and districts is essential to sustain, scale-out, and to
advance change.
This study adds value to previous research in this domain by identifying and clarifying those factors
that increase the likelihood of CPD achieving its intended outcomes in Indonesia, and the benefits
arising from those outcomes being sustained and scaled out.

Executive Summary: Gender Thematic Study
Gibson, Sam and Rasita Purba. 2020. INOVASI and Gender Equality: Reflecting on What We Learned in Phase
I and Looking Ahead to Phase II. Jakarta: INOVASI
At the juncture between Phase I and Phase II, this study is both a look back, as we reflect on what
INOVASI learned over 2016–2020, and a look ahead to how we will approach gender in the next four
years. Our intended audience is internal, primarily INOVASI management and staff, and secondarily,
our colleagues from the TASS program and DFAT. Unlike the themes of continuing education,
disability, literacy, numeracy and problem-driven iterative adaptation (the other thematic study
topics), we did not focus on gender equality in Phase I. Therefore, this study does not delve deeply
into ‘what works’ for gender equality.
While INOVASI took a relatively light touch to gender in Phase I, Phase II presents the opportunity
to build on what we learned and focus on two areas that we are uniquely positioned to consider from
a gender perspective: educational leadership and character education. An energised contribution in
Phase II means that INOVASI will need to invest in new in-house skills and forge alliances with new
partners in government and civil society.
In Phase I we embedded gender in our wider gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) strategy.
This strategy outlines our scope of work in the following areas: gender equality and empowerment;
disability and social inclusion; and child protection. It advocates a twin-track approach for inclusion
of both mainstreaming and targeting individuals and groups potentially at-risk. Key elements of this
strategy included:
• Investing heavily in basic literacy for the many children who do not speak Bahasa Indonesia
at home (multi-language pilots);
• Improving how teachers identify and teach children with disabilities;
• Piloting approaches in communities that have difficult educational contexts (for example, high
absenteeism, low parent engagement, child labour);
• Identifying innovations that improve teaching and learning in schools in remote areas.
Although we included gender equality and women’s empowerment in the strategy and to a certain
degree we have put the gender mainstreaming track in place, Phase I did not target gender equality.
We have nonetheless:
• Celebrated a modest reduction in the ‘boys’ achievement gap’ in numeracy and literacy (in
INOVASI pilot schools);
• Ensured that most of our data collection and analysis was sex-disaggregated (and also
tracked other dimensions of disadvantage such as disability, mother tongue and socio-
economic status);
• Screened all our pilot materials to ensure the final versions are ‘inclusive’ and gender-
balanced;
• Periodically discussed with our team how a gender perspective is relevant in our own
workplace (harassment), in operations (recruitment) and pilots (learning days).
In Phase II we intend to build on this experience and to deepen our work on gender equality with
renewed commitment by taking action to:
• Involve a full-time gender specialist from the beginning of Phase II (to ensure pilot designs
and policy work take account of gender from the outset);
• Ensure that we include gender-focused activities and events in the workplan and dedicate a
realistic budget to support these activities;

65
• Seek out allies in government and civil society who can help us make wise choices about
how we engage on gender;
• Explore the feasibility of designing and delivering a gender-focused pilot (grant, short-course
or other) in Phase II;
• Strengthen the school leadership pilot to both improve leadership and management skills for
all principals, and promote women’s empowerment;
• Consider the potential for character education to provide opportunities for children to practise
values of equality, respect and teamwork – these can and should include a gender dimension.

Executive Summary: Problem-Driven Iterative Adaptation Approach Thematic Study
Kleden, Paskal. 2020. Using PDIA to Accelerate the Progress of Indonesian Students’ Learning Outcomes in
Literacy, Numeracy, and Inclusion. Jakarta: INOVASI.
INOVASI adopted PDIA as its primary approach from the outset. However, the way we apply and
interpret PDIA has evolved since the program began. In 2016, we used the approach primarily to
conduct classroom action research and also to encourage teachers to develop a growth mindset
(Dweck, 2006). At that time, INOVASI applied PDIA at the classroom level, asking teachers to identify
their students’ learning problems and devise solutions. However, at the second strategy testing
session in 2017 the team decided that many teachers still lacked fundamental competencies in
teaching literacy and numeracy so expecting them to identify problems and solutions on their own
was unrealistic. After that, INOVASI instituted a short-course approach that was itself an iteration
built on knowledge from previous donor-supported education programs. Local iterations of INOVASI’s
own short courses began in 2019 when local stakeholders started to adjust the content of the courses
and decide how best to deliver them in their own districts.
Since 2018, INOVASI’s PDIA approach has also included a ‘thinking and working politically’
component. The program works with the districts to develop more appropriate regulations to support
better learning outcomes. Other aspects of the program that reflect this thinking are the team’s efforts
to influence district budget allocations away from infrastructure and towards activities to improve the
quality of learning and teaching. The most recent iteration is the application of PDIA at the district
level. Using PDIA, INOVASI works together with district-level officials in identifying the district’s most
pressing challenges.
To assess whether the PDIA approach has been effective, this study examines the evidence from
the Guru BAIK pilot and the most recent Jalan Andrews pilot that is extending the use of PDIA at the
district level. There are four main reasons to examine the evidence from Guru BAIK. First, Guru BAIK
is the first pilot and lessons learned from this pilot have been embedded in all the other pilots. Second,
by focusing on Guru BAIK we prevent any overlap with other thematic case studies that examine the
other pilots on literacy, numeracy and inclusion in greater detail. Third and most importantly, Guru
BAIK includes problem solving and growth mindset components. Finally, it is also the only pilot that
has counterfactuals, namely the Literacy Boost and the Literacy 1 pilot, that do not include these
PDIA components. The evidence shows that Guru BAIK has more impact on student literacy scores
than Literacy Boost. The data also shows that teachers that benefitted from Guru BAIK before
participating in the Literacy 1 pilot performed better than those who only participated in the Literacy
1 short course.
Furthermore, teachers with Guru BAIK experience contributed to higher learning outcomes among
children with special needs and those from poor socio-economic backgrounds. Nevertheless, there
is need for more data. The current available evidence is based only on a small number of districts.
Concerning the application of PDIA at the district level, there are some known challenges but also
positive indications. One of the barriers is that PDIA requires initiative and active involvement from
its counterparts but in the district bureaucracy, officials tend to prefer to wait for instructions. On some
of the positive findings, officials became more data-driven in identifying problems and in looking for
solutions. The application of PDIA also apparently helped to break down silos among the 6 INOVASI
| Using PDIA to Accelerate the Progress of Indonesian Students’ Learning Outcomes – June 2020
various actors. District stakeholders became aware that addressing an education problem is not the
sole responsibility of the district education office but requires collaboration with other stakeholders.
Finally, while there is clarity about what PDIA means as a concept, its application is subject to

67
different interpretations. Indonesia already has experience with other ‘PDIA-like’ initiatives that are
context-specific and seek to strengthen local solutions and decentralised decision making. These
interventions have also faced cultural and political challenges. Any aid program trying to implement
PDIA needs to anticipate those challenges.

Executive summary: Disability Inclusion Thematic Study
Sprunt, Beth. 2020. Lessons from INOVASI’s Phase 1 Work on Disability-Inclusive Education. Jakarta:
INOVASI.
The purpose of this study is to assemble and examine early findings from the disability inclusion
aspects of INOVASI’s work in Phase I. This includes a particular focus on the activities in three pilot
districts (Central Lombok, Probolinggo and East Sumba), within grant-based partnerships, and in
activities focused on systems and policy engagement. The study explores what has worked and not
worked to improve disability-inclusive education in INOVASI, and what enablers and barriers are
important to take note of in progressing Indonesia’s inclusive education reforms.
Indonesia’s legal and policy framework supports the right of children with disabilities to access a
quality and inclusive education. This is most clearly outlined in Law No 8 of 2016 on Disability and
the related Government Regulation No 13 of 2020 regarding Appropriate Accommodation for
Students with Disabilities. Despite a supportive legal framework, various datasets, including most
recently the Indonesian Bureau of Statistics 2018 national socioeconomic survey (Susenas) show
concerningly low rates of school enrolment, completion and progression of Indonesia’s children with
disabilities.
During Phase I, INOVASI focused on piloting disability-inclusive education capacity development
programs for teachers, developing and testing the Student Learning Profile and undertaking an
extensive multi-stakeholder policy analysis and development process to develop the Central Lombok
Regency Inclusive Education Roadmap (2019-2021). The data used for this study was drawn from
three quantitative studies and an extensive document analysis. The studies included a pre-test and
post-test of teachers in the inclusion pilot schools, the Indonesian education and learning innovation
survey (SIPPI) and the spot-check assessment involving classroom observations and interviews.
The study showed impressive improvements in learning outcomes among students with disabilities
in the INOVASI pilot schools and highlighted the value of strengthening disability data systems and
policy tools to enable inclusive education. Numerous effective strategies were identified including:
the centrality of building teachers’ skills in differentiated instruction; simple and practice-based
teacher training through the teachers’ working group system; investing in multi-stakeholder policy
development work; working with village leaders, parents and community stakeholders; considering
financial mechanisms and incentives for inclusion; and interrogating where disability data and
definitions are a barrier and how they can be made into enablers.
The findings also highlighted areas where improvements are needed. This included proactively using
and strengthening the work of Disabled Peoples Organisations and Disability Service Units in
supporting the inclusive schools; designing pilots with a broader focus than just teacher capacity
development to address the fact that most children with disabilities are out of school; building the
capacity of principals and supervisors to enable accessible infrastructure, access to resources and
greater support for teachers; and addressing system and teaching capacity required to implement
assessments inclusively.
Further implications point to the importance of: strengthening partnerships with universities and other
teacher training institutions; updating the General Guidelines for the Implementation of Inclusive
Education to incorporate the obligations outlined in Government Regulation No 13 of 2020 regarding
Reasonable Accommodation for Students with Disabilities; ongoing support to disability identification
mechanisms that inform resource decisions; monitoring and evaluating the efforts of inclusive
education policy development and implementation; developing a range of communications materials
to increase awareness of policies and systems, such as guidance for school leaders on accessing

69
resources for inclusion through BOS funding; strengthening linkages between schools and early
intervention, health and specialist services; and working with communities and other stakeholders to
address non-school barriers to inclusive education.

Executive Summary: Partnership Thematic Study
Amalia, M., Senza Arsendy and Rasita Purba. 2020. Education Partnership to Improve Learning Outcomes.
Jakarta: INOVASI.
Since 2018, INOVASI has worked together with 20 selected partner organisations through the grant-
based partnership program. The collaboration aims to test various approaches that may improve
education quality, particularly in the early grades. Working with local organisations is also expected
to promote sustainability of the program and its results.
INOVASI’s baseline and endline surveys reveal that the program produced promising results, for
example, more supportive learning environments, improved teaching practices, increased
involvement of communities and parents, and better learning outcomes. A follow-up qualitative study
was conducted to provide a comprehensive understanding of how partners' approaches and
uniqueness contribute to those results.
The study cites key factors affecting the quality of learning including: the ‘teaching at the right level’
approach; ‘literate’ classroom environments; and supportive school policies. Furthermore,
collaboration with teacher training institutes resulted in significant changes in the pre-service training
curriculum. Also, the use of mother-tongue in the early grades meant that students who do not speak
Bahasa Indonesia enjoyed a more interactive learning experience. In INOVASI’s work on inclusive
education, partnerships between communities and schools improved access to education for children
with disabilities. Collaboration between parents and schools also contributed to more parents
becoming involved in their children’s schooling. Finally, establishing libraries in both schools and
communities, supported by the distribution of child-friendly books and trained librarians increased
students’ interest in reading and their reading ability.
The grant-based partnership program has also provided some promising results overall although
some challenges remain. The main issue the program faced was the short duration of program
implementation meaning that the beneficiaries had little time to develop the capacity to continue the
program and maintain results. While some district governments have taken the initiative to scale out
the programs, other districts have not. Thus relevant policies and regulations are needed to mobilise
resources and sustain the promising practices generated by the partnership program.
Despite the challenges, the study outlines four mechanisms that could be used to sustain these
programs: implementing them within partner schools; adoptions of good practices by other schools
that are usually disseminated through communities of practice on social media; scale out with
government support; and changes within partner organisations.
This study concludes with an assessment of what works and what does not work in achieving
program objectives. The lessons learned enrich INOVASI’s understanding of effective approaches to
improve the quality of learning in primary schools, especially for the early grades. In addition, by citing
the evidence, this study contributes to the discussion on the role of non-governmental organisations
in education development.

Annex 2: Key Achievements, Challenges and Lessons Learned,
by Province
North Kalimantan
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
1. The main achievement of the early grade literacy pilot in North Kalimantan is that various
stakeholders have used the endline results as a powerful advocacy tool to promote early
grade literacy programs in INOVASI non-partner areas.
2. The education office scaled out the literacy pilot in two partner districts (Bulungan and
Malinau) and one non-partner district (Tana Tidung) with some variations.
3. Bulungan district has been implementing the literacy program in its entirety (design,
personnel, budget and monitoring and evaluation system) since the beginning of 2020.
A more detailed explanation for the province and each district follows.
Literacy working group of North Kalimantan province:
1. North Kalimantan has formed a literacy working group that includes various literacy actors.
2. This group has coordinated the procurement of 30,000 children's books from various parties.
3. The group organised a literacy camp to consolidate the literacy movement in North
Kalimantan province and invited special staff from the President’s Office to attend.
Bulungan district:
1. Bulungan scaled out the early grade literacy pilot to all schools in the district using 2019 local
government budget funds (APBD).
2. The district also scaled out a primary higher grade literacy pilot to all schools using the 2020
APBD.
3. Bulungan allocated APBD through the regional schools operational funds (BOSDA) to
purchase children's reading books in the 2018, 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.
4. The district is implementing an existing main task and functions-based literacy program
(tupoksi) across sectors monitored by supervisors, starting in 2020.
Malinau district:
1. Malinau district scaled out the early grade literacy pilot through the village library/community
reading centre synergy program with schools using funding from the local village budget in
the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.
2. The district also scaled out the early grade literacy pilot to remote schools through 100
contracted teachers in the 2020 fiscal year.
3. The pilot was also scaled out in schools that can only be reached through difficult road/river
trips in seven clusters (45 schools) and using the budget from the 2020 APBD.
Tana Tidung district:
1. Tana Tidung district adopted the early grade literacy pilot for all schools (30 schools) using
the 2020 APBD budget.
72
2. The district procured children's books for all schools using the BOSDA 2020 budget.
3. The synergy of the village library/community reading centres was socialised in schools in all
sub-districts. Some villages bought children's books using the 2020 local village budget.
4. Tana Tidung district developed a monitoring and evaluation system for the early grade literacy
pilot by conducting baseline, midline and endline studies funded by the 2020 budget. Baseline
data were collected and are still being analysed.
CHALLENGES
1. The main challenge in implementing pilots in North Kalimantan is that the province does not
have the resources within the education office to provide quality training and guidance.
2. The second challenge is the difficult terrain in North Kalimantan meaning that not all schools
are easily reached by road.
3. Another challenge is the limited capacity of civil society organisations working on literacy
issues in North Kalimantan. Most of these organisations are volunteer-based and focus on
delivering books to remote areas rather than on literacy in schools.
LESSONS LEARNED
1. Pilots with a specific focus are easier to implement.

2. Involving policymakers at the provincial and district levels as well as technical advisors from
the education office is key to the district taking over responsibility for managing the program.
3. The district needs intensive and in-depth technical support. Although they have the funds,
personnel and time, difficulties still arise in implementing the pilots without technical support.
4. Three issues reflect the district’s readiness to take over the program: the confidence of the
policymakers; availability of the technical personnel to carry it out; and the budget.
5. The pilot design needs to be adapted to local conditions, especially geographical conditions,
making it impossible to faithfully replicate the teachers’ working group model training program.
West Nusa Tenggara
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
1. INOVASI works with the government to collect evidence by working within the system,
especially through the teachers’ working groups and using local facilitators. We have
revitalised dormant working groups and demonstrated their potential as a broad and relatively
cheap solution to improving the quality of teaching, as the government originally envisaged.
2. The pre-pilots and pilots on inclusive education in Central Lombok produced the evidence
that led to the Student Learning Profile tool that is now used nationally.
3. Partnerships with various non-governmental organisations and the University of Mataram
enriched the evidence generated by the pilots and expanded INOVASI’s network, forming a
broad coalition to overcome the problems.
4. Various policies in the form of regents and districts regulations, circulars and instruction letters
were produced by the six local governments.

73
CHALLENGES
1. The MERL team cannot provide feedback quickly enough for ongoing program improvement.
2. Evidence or research and survey results from Jakarta are slow, resulting in frequent loss of
momentum.
3. As evidence from intermediate results is often slow, communication and advocacy with
policymakers is more often based on personal contacts than on strong evidence.
4. The communication products in West Nusa Tenggara have not been clearly targetted. We
have not monitored which policymakers are at what level or whether the right target audience
is receiving messages and to what extent the messages changed their perceptions and
behaviour.
5. The quality of independent scale-out pilots by local governments and teachers’ working
groups still varies and some do not have monitoring and evaluation mechanisms in place.
6. Policies are often constrained due to changes in local government personnel and reviews
have not yet been done to assess the effectiveness of these policies in driving change.
7. Improvements in learning outcomes are limited to the pilot target and only some schools
maintain the changes from the pilot. Information is not available on accelerated learning
improvements in scale-out target schools as they did not all conduct baseline studies.
LESSONS LEARNED
1. In Phase I, most of the financial and human resources were dedicated to monitoring and
evaluating pilots to produce evidence related to literacy, numeracy and inclusive education.
Other evidence, especially on literacy and numeracy, has been produced by other institutions
including grantees, United Nation agencies, non-governmental organisations and teacher
training institutes. INOVASI needs to reflect on whether this ‘evidence’ is only ‘self-generated
evidence’ or actually extracted from a meta-analysis of the existing body of evidence.
2. INOVASI needs to focus on filling the gaps in evidence in relation to inclusive
education/learning for all, digital learning and character education.
3. INOVASI needs to clarify who are considered the policymakers. Is it only the district, provincial
and national governments? What about cluster heads, school principals, heads of teacher
training institutes, for example, who have the authority to produce policies and allocate
budgets to support scale out? By defining the policymakers, we can target the strategy,
products and communication platforms more accurately.
4. Key evidence-based messages need to be continuously reinforced and monitored to check
that the target audience receives the messages and to find out whether they result in changes
in perception and behaviour.
5. We also need to clarify what we mean by scale out. Is it only related to the pilot? Is it still a
scale out if, for example, only the literacy formative assessment is scaled out? If the child
protection principle is scaled out, for example in Sumbawa, would that also be considered as
a scale out?
6. INOVASI in West Nusa Tenggara needs to support districts with data on literacy and
numeracy on all primary/early grade students so the districts priority areas become clearer.
74
7. More effort should be made to improve school principals and teachers’ autonomy and
freedom in learning and teaching practices so that change is more sustainable.
East Java
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
1. Scale out: Various achievements or changes in partner schools encouraged a number of

stakeholders in the partner districts to scale out the INOVASI module material and deliver the full
courses or selected parts of them. In the five INOVASI partner districts, 909 schools, including 75
madrasah and 834 primary schools, benefitted from the INOVASI modules in 2019 and 825
schools, including 41 madrasah and 784 primary schools, will benefit in 2020.
2. NU Ma‘arif and Muhammadiyah: Through partnership grants with Muhammadiyah the INOVASI
literacy pilot expanded coverage beyond partner areas, including in Ngawi, Jember and
Trenggalek. Muhammadiyah will also scale out the pilot through four Muhammadiyah universities
in East Java that all have schools under their guidance. Despite the challenges, NU Ma'arif has
scaled out the INOVASI literacy and numeracy pilot to Central Java besides implementing scale
out in East Java.
3. Local government regulation: Since the INOVASI pilot was first implemented in East Java in
2018, the district/city government has issued 16 regulations. One of the ongoing provincial
government regulations is on replicating the INOVASI education pilot in madrasah in Pasuruan
and Sidoarjo districts (MoRA regional office circular No B-3474/Kw.13.2.5./HM.01/7/2019).
4. Enhancing the capabilities of the Probolinggo district education office through the PDIA
process: INOVASI supported the Probolinggo district education office over a six-month period to
reform its system. This was through a thorough review of the tasks and responsibilities of staff
under each unit that supports education using the PDIA process, known locally as Jalan Andrew
(Andrew’s way). This process resulted in the revision of the Tegent’s regulation No 82 of 2018 on
the Organisational Structure and Work Procedure of the Education Office by adding the task
functions of several new units, including learning units, materials development and institutions,
functional position groups and integrated data management.
CHALLENGES
1. Coordination between INOVASI and the provincial government was limited in Phase I. This was
due to difficulties in securing a meeting with the governor to introduce the INOVASI pilot. In
addition, the provincial government only has special authority at the secondary school level so it
cannot intervene directly in basic education since that comes under the district or city government.
2. The change in the head of local government affects the sustainability of the INOVASI pilots since
education policies and coordination with INOVASI need to be reintroduced. INOVASI will need to
promote the program among new officials who may already have their own priorities. The heads
of the Sumenep and Sidoarjo district education offices are also due to retire in 2020 and in early
2021.
3. The organisational structure of the district/city education office will change with the Minister of
Home Affairs decree No 130/14106/SJ/2019 to simplify the administration processes in the
regional government environment. If the process is protracted, it may not be clear who has
collective responsibility for the professional development of supervisors, principals and teachers.

75
4. The process of transforming the teachers’ working groups into productive and effective spaces
for teachers’ professional development has not been easy. In general, not many teachers
consider these working groups as a platform to develop their capacity.
5. Teachers still have difficulty in understanding the curriculum and in integrating the material
learned in the teachers’ working group (INOVASI modules) into their teaching. So far, teachers
still tend to depend on textbooks and do not apply the approaches from the modules
systematically.
6. Facilitators still need to develop their ability to support teachers in implementing the INOVASI
modules. There are not enough effective facilitators to support the scale out of the INOVASI pilot
in the partner districts.
7. In general, any scale outs depend on ad hoc local budget allocations from year to year and rely
on support from INOVASI staff in planning and training of trainers. So far the district office has
not made systematic changes to review and strengthen long-term continuing professional
development for teachers.
LESSONS LEARNED
1. Regulations need to be based on the needs of all parties and take into account the views of all
levels – from classrooms and schools through to district offices – to run effectively and at scale.
These include regulations such as: (a) the Regent’s regulation on Managing Primary School Multi-
grade Learning in Probolinggo, (b) the Regent’s regulation on Technical Guidelines for Provision
and Use of State and Private Assistance BOS Funds in 2019 (BOSDA) and (c) the head of the
Pasuruan district education office Circular on Implementing the Literacy Movement in Schools.
2. With the high turnover of key officials at provincial and district level, we need to resocialise the
INOVASI pilot for continuity in coordination and support from the local government offices.
3. In addition to the core material in the INOVASI modules, the material on pedagogy, active learning,
classroom management, understanding the curriculum, growth mindset, and gender equality and
social inclusion helped local facilitators and teachers to implement the modules in the teachers’
working groups and respond to the needs of individual students in the class.
4. Parental support in learning is important, especially for parents whose children are in multi-grade
classes and this support increased significantly after the training for parents. Parents can now
actively monitor their children's learning development at home.
5. Support from school supervisors and principals in organising the teachers’ working groups and
implementing the outcomes in the classroom improves the quality of learning. Teachers are more
confident in implementing their new learning in class if they have the right level of support.
6. Having one key counterpart partner in the district office helps in coordinating, accelerating and
sustaining the pilot program.
East Nusa Tenggara
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
• Scale-out: Policy work in analysing district budgets in the four target districts in Sumba has
had an impact and district budgets have reallocated funds from physical infrastructure to
76
learning/teaching quality in the last two years – amounting to IDR15,7 billion to scale out the
program.
• Scale out: Learning from Sumba, the new district of Nagekeo in Flores has allocated IDR336
million to scale out the literacy program in the district.
• Partnerships: Some of the grant-based partnership pilots have also been scaled out, fully or
partially, by the district governments in partnership with YLAI in West Sumba (literacy), with
Lily and William in Southwest Sumba (literacy) and with Sulinama in East Sumba (language
transition). Rainbow Reading Gardens also raised funds for new school libraries in East
Sumba, West Sumba and Southwest Sumba.
• Inclusion: School stakeholders and the community are more aware of children’s right to
education after the inclusion program implemented by CIS Timor and students with disability
can now access schooling more easily. CIS Timor has also worked with five villages to
develop village laws on inclusion.
• Assessment: Implementing a formative assessment tool to assess reading ability and
student’s reading groups (like the reading camp in West Sumba) has improved students’
performance, including their reading ability (basic and comprehensive literacy). This led to the
regent’s instruction on Mapping Students’ Reading Ability and Formative Assessment in West
Sumba.
• Evidence to policy: The provincial parliament used evidence from various studies, including
the Analytical and Capacity Development Partnership (ACDP) study and INOVASI’s pilot
progress reports in Sumba, to inform the local government planning and policy support to
education, especially on the literacy movement.
• Provincial planning: INOVASI in Sumba has been invited to contribute to the schools’
medium term planning process at provincial level conducted by the human resources
development agency.
• The East Nusa Tenggara governor and related key government education institutions at
provincial level have adopted INOVASI pilots on literacy and numeracy as the focus area in
the ‘grand design’ for education and its roadmap.
CHALLENGES:
• Sustainability: Change in the classrooms and schools during pilots may be difficult to sustain
because no system is in place to institutionalise the pilot approach. For example, a monitoring
mechanism did not seem to be in place after the INOVASI pilots were completed to ensure
continuity and sustainability. Some schools may continue on their own and some may not.
The teachers’ working groups have not been used continuously as a platform for teachers’
professional development.
• Language transition based approach: The variety of mother tongues used either by
teachers or students in Sumba posed a challenge in implementing the language transition
based approach with one dominant mother tongue, as used by Sulinama in East Sumba and
by Summer Institute of Languages in Southwest Sumba. In some cases, the teachers may
not speak the same local dialect as most of the students.
• Absenteeism: The SIL partnership work on the use of language transition to bridge student
learning faced challenges of absenteeism from students, teachers and principals. This

77
impacted on the learning in general. Another challenge is the relatively short period of the
pilot given that language transition programs generally require a longer period to have an
impact.
• Coordination: Close coordination and collaboration is key to ensuring program sustainability,
especially in areas where many other agencies are working in similar programs. Coordination
with other agencies with the same stakeholders was sometimes challenging, especially in
scheduling when we could engage with similar beneficiaries.
• Relative short duration of pilot implementation: Implementing the training material
intensively in classrooms was challenging due to the short duration of the program (one
semester). Changes were not yet visible.
• Facilitators: Many local facilitators are relatively young and are contract teachers. They
encounter problems when they have to ‘mentor’ more senior teachers with civil servant status.
Changes are only likely to happen through local facilitators if they are institutionalised within
the district education system.
• Province and district: The governor of East Nusa Tenggara has committed to linking pre-
school education, basic education and senior high education but barriers persist in the
education law related to the authority between the provinces and districts.
LESSONS LEARNED:
• When decision makers have a strong sense of ownership of the pilot process they are more
likely to allocate funds to scale out the INOVASI pilots.
• Documented evidence and ‘killer facts’ on student learning are powerful advocacy tools for
planning and policy changes.
• Issues of inclusive and special needs education can only be resolved by multi-stakeholders.
The role of the regional development planning agency is essential to engage the education,
women's empowerment and child protection, social affairs, community empowerment and
health offices.
• Teachers are the key determinant in students’ success and if teachers do not implement new
skills learned in professional training for various reasons, change is unlikely to occur.
• Increasing the change spaces in authority, acceptance and ability for education personnel
from school to provincial level will yield better results.

Annex 3: Implementing Partners, Contract/Grant Value and Key
Achievements
During Phase I, INOVASI engaged with 22 partners to provide services for quality improvement.
These partners consisted of seven teacher training Institutes, 13 non-governmental or civil society
organisations and the two Islamic organisations, Muhammadiyah and NU Ma‘arif. To support the
national policy issues of literacy (including libraries and language transition), numeracy and inclusion
in primary schools, these partners implemented various pilots across 20 districts within the four
INOVASI partner provinces. These pilots took place during the period 2017–2019 and each one
lasted for eight to 15 months. The partners worked with a range of stakeholders in developing and
implementing in-service training materials, mentoring, working with communities and reading centres,
as well as designing and implementing monitoring and evaluation activities. Grants allocated to these
‘grantees’ totalled AUD2.8 million with total expenditures of AUD2.6 million, making an overall spn
rate of 93.22 per cent by the end of the program.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
• Building trust/brokering: Traditionally, the relationship between the non-government sector and
the government is complex but some areas of cooperation between have recently improved,
especially in the area of education. Through the partnerships and grants program, INOVASI
brought the supply and demand sides together by creating opportunities for the two parties to
collaborate and explore initiatives to improve students’ learning outcomes. This experience built
trust between them and several local governments continued the partners’ programs in the
second year, beyond the grant contracts, thus sustaining the investment. For example, the district
education office in West Sumba has agreed to support the continuation of YLAI’s program through
a cost-sharing scheme. Also, in Southwest Sumba, YLAI, the district education office and the Lily
and William Foundation have agreed to continue supporting the ten pilot schools – a collaboration
of three parties.
• Monitoring and evaluation: While many participating partners brought strong programs with
them, most lacked capability in monitoring and evaluating the activities effectively. INOVASI
supported the grantee partners in developing a monitoring and evaluation framework based on
the theory of change and helped design theories of change for each of the pilots. Besides this
technical support to partners, INOVASI also conducted baseline and endline surveys, and spot
checks for the grant-based partnerships pilots to identify programs and practices that improve
learning outcomes.
• Strengthening engagement with Indonesia’s non-government education sector: Many non-
governmental organisations contribute to development processes, including in the education
sector. The grants program meant that INOVASI could invest in activities consistent with its own
high-level objectives and bring together more education stakeholders with a common cause –
thereby leveraging collective action. MoEC appreciated INOVASI’s grant-based partnership
program, its PDIA approach and assessment methods and this inspired it to launch its recent
partnership program with non-governmental organisations, Program Organisasi Penggerak. The

81
program is designed to be expansive with potentially more than 100 non-governmental
organisations participating. The initiative, scheduled for the beginning of the 2020 school year,
reflects MoEC’s desire to leverage the good practices that these and other organisations have
demonstrated in supporting and capacitating school stakeholders to improve students’ learning
outcomes.
• Strengthening organisations’ business capability: The capacity of non-governmental
organisations, universities and teacher training institutions needs strengthening, especially in
terms of business processes. Some organisations did not yet have well-established procurement
and financial management systems. They typically lacked experience working with donor-funded
programs with regard to compliance. Throughout the grant-based partnership, regular support
included training in how to set up good standard operating procedures for recruitment and
procurement processes, and how to set up procedures for financial processes and good reporting
systems. Despite the stringent procedures put in place by INOVASI, organisations expressed
their appreciation and said the training strengthened their organisational capability as service
providers.
• Highlighted achievements: Apart from improving teachers and principals’ knowledge, attitudes
and practices, some highlights from the grant-based partnership pilots’ achievements are as
follows:
o Access to reading books is key to improving students’ interest and skills in reading. In Central
Sumba, interest in reading almost doubled – from 53 per cent to 95 per cent – and students
passing the basic literacy test tripled in Central Sumba (from 15 per cent to 54 per cent).
o A new initiative by Forum Lingkar Pena aimed to reach deaf children by developing and
producing 170 sets of the Si Bintang series consisting of 21 books each, using sign language.
These books were disseminated to INOVASI inclusive schools in Central Lombok.
o Communities, teachers and principals in East Sumba are more aware of the rights of disabled
children to education. CIS Timor worked closely with the community in five villages to
advocate for these children’s right to education and increased enrolment of children with
disabilities in schools. Regulations on inclusive education have also been ratified at the village
level.
o Generally, stakeholders are also more aware of gender equality and social inclusion issues
in the classroom and in selecting and developing children’s books to use in schools.

Annex 6: District Education Finance Assessment
Summary – District Education Financing Analysis
Indonesia has progressed significantly in access to basic education with government spending in the
past 15 years more than doubling and education participation reaching almost 100 per cent at the
primary school level. However, this progress is not reflected in increased learning outcomes. Various
tests that assess students' knowledge and skills in basic literacy and numeracy indicate that the
performance of Indonesian students is not yet up to their peers from other countries.
This district or city education financing analysis gives an overview of the allocation and proportion of
expenditure for education functions, namely expenditures budgeted by the educational regional
apparatus organisation (organisasi perangkat daerah – OPD) and by other regional apparatus
organisations for educational purposes, in the local government budget of 16 INOVASI partner
districts or cities for the 2016–2019 fiscal years. The results of this analysis serve various purposes,
including:
• General purposes: (a) as input in the preparation of education planning and evaluation,
especially relating to the quality of student learning as the main objective of the education
process standard; (b) as input in setting priorities for education funding, especially related to
improving the quality of learning in literacy and numeracy skills; (c) as an evaluation material
to assess the allocation of education spending and whether it meets the needs of students
and teachers in classroom learning;
• Specific purposes: (a) to find out whether the education budget allocation in the annual district
budget (APBD) meets the need for access to schooling and learning; (b) to encourage a
commitment for increasing the allocation (or reallocation) of the education budget, especially
to support the quality of student learning; (c) as information that can be used in improving
education budget formulation to make it more favourable for learning.
Conclusions from the analysis are as follows:
1. Spending allocations for functions in education in 16 INOVASI partner districts/cities in 2016-
2019 ranged from IDR117.82 billion to IDR1.44 trillion. This represented proportions of the
total local government budget ranging from 15.8 per cent to 42.3 per cent. Note that districts
with highest education function spending do not always equate to districts allocating the
highest proportions since the proportion depends on each district’s total local goverment
budgets.
2. In 2019, 11 districts/cities (69 per cent) increased allocations for education function
expenditures while five districts (31 per cent) decreased their allocations. In terms of the
proportion of total expenditure, 7 districts (44 per cent) had a greater proportion and 9
districts/cities (56 per cent) had a lower proportion of the total budget. Higher allocations
reflected a higher proportion of the budget in 7 districts and lower allocations reflected a lower
proportion of the budget in 5 districts. However, 4 districts/cities had higher allocations but a
lower proportion of the budget.
3. Allocations to improving learning quality in the 17 partner districts/cities over 2016–2019
ranged from IDR170 billion (excluding non-budgeted expenditure) to IDR189.46 billion. This

147
shows the disparities in allocations for learning quality spending among the districts/cities (1:
1,100). In 2019, 9 districts/cities (56 per cent) increased allocations for learning quality
spending but allocations went down in 7 districts (44 per cent). This shows that increases and
decreases in learning quality spending in the number of districts/cities were almost balanced.
4. In 2019, 6 districts (38 per cent) increased the proportion of learning quality expenditure in
relation to direct education function spending and 10 districts/cities (62 per cent) decreased
this proportion. On the other hand, 9 districts/cities (56 per cent) experienced an increase and
7 districts (44 per cent) experienced a decrease in the proportion of learning quality
expenditures to education function expenditures. Districts that experienced an increase in the
proportion of learning quality spending to direct education function expenditures could also
experience an increase in the proportion of learning quality spending on education function
expenditures, and vice versa. On the other hand, districts that have experienced an increase
in the proportion of quality learning spending on direct education function expenditures may
have decreased the proportion of quality learning spending on education function
expenditures, and vice versa districts / cities experienced a decline in the proportion of
learning quality spending on direct education function expenditures.
5. Allocation of spending on quality for primary school level learning in 16 INOVASI districts/
cities in 2016–2019 ranged from IDR40 billion (excluding non-budgeted) to IDR132.84 billion.
The amount not budgeted was up to IDR62.64 billion.
6. The allocations for learning quality spending are higher at the primary school level than at the
junior high school level .Primary schools thus appear to be a dominant priority in most
districts/cities (81 per cent) however, when the allocations per school per year and the number
of students per year are taken into account, they are actually lower compared to the junior
high school level (up to 1: 3,8 and 1: 3,3).
7. INOVASI partner districts/cities demonstrate many good practices to increase education
quality, for example:
a. East Nusa Tenggara increased the education budget for the quality of learning in all
districts over the 2016–2019 period, showing that the four district governments in
Sumba are committed to following the recommendations from the local government
budget analysis study conducted in 2018. These increased budget allocations are
used for the following: to replicate the INOVASI program, thus increasing teacher
capacity, especially in basic literacy teaching skills in the early grades through
teachers’ working groups (leadership for learning pilot); to procure reading books; to
integrate literacy programs into medium-term school plans and budgets; and to fund
competitions to improve basic literacy skills.
b. West Nusa Tenggara has consistently allocated a budget for programs to improve the
quality of learning, especially at the primary school level, in their local government
budget over the 2017– 2020 period. These funds are used for: the Additional Authority
Competency progam that provides teachers as special assistance companions (guru
pembimbing khusus) for students experiencing functional barriers to learning; the
Learning Innovation (INOBEL) competitions that recognise creative primary school
teachers; the Temu INOVASI events; and procuring children's reading books.
c. East Java has allocated education function expenditure in addition to direct
expenditure as well as indirect expenditure in the form of grants and social assistance
for private schools and madrasah. The province has replicated the INOVASI pilot
148
program and drafted related regulations to support the scale out of the literacy,
numeracy, multi-grade classes, and school principal leadership pilots using BOSDA
funds starting in 2019. Also, a minimum of 5 per cent is to be used to support the
movement to promote a reading culture (Gerakan Budaya Literasi) through public and
private primary schools in both libraries and classrooms.
d. Bulungan in North Kalimantan issued a regent's policy in 2017 on using the regional.
schools operational funds (BOSDA). This was followed by Regent’s regulation No 14
of 2018 providing technical guidelines on using the schools’ operational funds to
improve the quality of basic education by implementing school literacy programs. The
regulation allows schools to reallocate their BOSDA funds to purchasing reading
books for children at both primary and junior high school levels. Schools must include
allocations to purchase books in their school activity plans and budgets to have their
plans approved by the BOSDA management team.

Annex 7: Selected Achievements of the Pilots in Phase I
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS in PHASE I
Pilot co-design, co- • The level of ownership of the INOVASI program progressed
funding and scale out throughout Phase I, with 110 pilots increasingly co-funded, co-
designed and co-managed with districts, MoRA and other agencies.
• Over the four years, 2016–2020, district governments allocated the
equivalent of AUD3.1 million in local government funding to scale out
and implement pilots. The actual amount spent was AUD1.9 million
up to December 2019.
• Additional funding of AUD75,000 has been leveraged from NGOs
and the private sector (corporate social responsibility programs).
• In addition to the 700 or more schools taking part in INOVASI-funded
pilots, the total number of schools that participated in scale-out
programs is estimated at about 1,500. This equates to 4,600
teachers and 117,000 early grade students.25
• A total of 17 Temu INOVASI events were held with nine being at the
national level. A total of 1,153 participants, including 368 government
officials, attended the nine national Temu INOVASI.
• INOVASI is the leading co-facilitator of a digital community of
practice group on Facebook (Komunitas Inovasi Pembelajaran)
together with other education organisations and MoEC, including
MoEC’s ICT Department, Indonesia Mengajar, Save the Children,
Asia Foundation, IniBudi and Rainbow Reading Gardens. The group
has 13,747 members (teachers and principals), with more than 8,900
being active members. The membership has increased steadily
along with the number of posts. The month of June 2020 alone saw
more than 660 posts with 1,051 comments and 5,465 reactions.
Pilot impact on Based on INOVASI survey data, mindset shift features prominently with
participants’ mindset increasing ratings around developing a passion for learning in students,
encouraging active learning and appreciating students’ efforts. Other
notable developments:
• More teachers provide positive reinforcement for students’ efforts,
increasing from 73% at baseline to 83% at the endline.
• The percentage of teachers who reported that student learning
outcomes need to be in schools’ top three priorities increased by
13%, while the proportion of teachers who said that financial support
needs to be among the top three priorities decreased by 23%.
• Teachers are more disciplined with fewer numbers of teachers being
absent for more than two days in the last semester, declining from
42% to 34%. Across all pilots, the percentage of teacher-centred
teaching mode decreased by 11 points, from 71% to 60%. This
25The term ‘scale out' refers to when districts or other parties fund and manage the program, independent of the INOVASI
program.

150
means that the percentage of teachers using traditional didactic

methods, such as reading aloud, chorus responses, students
copying from the blackboard, rote learning and lecturing reduced and
the trend is towards active learning approaches.
• Increased percentage of teachers whose confidence and knowledge
improved while levels of anxiety about disability-inclusive education
decreased – data generated from inclusive pilots only (East Sumba,
Probolinggo and Central Lombok):
o Teachers in all districts showed improved knowledge. The
increase percentage ranged from 43% to 62%
o Teachers in all districts showed improved confidence. The
increase percentage of teachers who improved ranged from
48% to 76%.
o Teachers in all districts showed decreased anxiety; however,
in East Sumba the decreased percentage was lower than
Central Lombok and Probolinggo (48%, 70%, 70%
respectively); this implies that while their knowledge
improved, their concerns persisted.
Pilot impact on • Improvements were observed across all pilots. Teachers are
teaching skills and equipped with better pedagogical and technical skills for teaching
knowledge literacy and numeracy.
For skills in literacy:
o Teachers’ pre-test and post-test on units 1–3 in Literacy 1
showed: 90% of teachers improved in the post-test (647
teachers in 13 districts participated).Teachers’ pre-tests and
post-tests on Units 4–7 in Literacy 1 showed: 92 per cent of
teachers improved in the post-test (632 teachers in 15
districts participated). However, in both tests, only a few
districts scored 50% or above. The tests reflected teachers’
knowledge on appropriate pedagogies.
o In practice, teachers demonstrated the integration of
technical skills in the teaching of literacy. The top two
percentages were for practising reading aloud and writing
(72% each). The two lowest percentages were on matching
letters to their sounds and storytelling (26% and 29%
respectively). The other variables ranged between 30% to
57%, such as, reading aloud with their students, listening to
a text and answering comprehension questions and building
words from syllables.
For skills in numeracy:
o Teachers’ understanding of teaching practice was assessed
through pre-tests and post-tests in the Numeracy 2 pilot. The
results showed that 78% of teachers improved their scores in
the post-test, implying better knowledge of teaching methods.
The three areas most improved were using the number line

151
for teaching subtraction, pattern discrimination and place

value.
o In practice, the improvement was assessed through a
teachers’ index, comprising teaching and technical skills. The
index was increased significantly for Numeracy 1, from 22 to
62 but less clear in Numeracy 2, i.e. from 62 to 66. Overall,
the gain was significant, from 22 to 66.
• Teachers created more supportive learning environments with initial
evidence of promoting learning for all by making specific efforts for
those in need. The proxy of providing specific efforts for those in
need is through the variable of developing specific lesson plans.
Overall, the increase in the percentage of teachers who analysed
students’ competencies when developing lesson plans was small,
only by 2 points, from 81% to 83%. However, for those who did the
analysis, more obvious progress was found: more teachers
incorporated specific techniques (from 80% to 91%) and specific
teaching aids in their plans (from 81% to 92%).
• Classroom observation data from spot checks showed 92% of pilot
schools implementing formative assessment.
• Improved teacher technical knowledge is shown in pre-tests and
post-tests for short courses. Participants’ scores improved by about
20 points and 5 points respectively on the first and second rounds of
literacy pilots.
Inclusion, disability • The pilot on inclusive education in Central Lombok led to INOVASI
and gender developing a Student Learning Profile tool (Profil Belajar Siswa)
based on the Washington Group’s functional model for teachers to
identify special needs. Working with TASS and MoEC the team
developed an application for the tool that MoEC piloted across all
designated inclusive schools at all levels in all districts. Work is
ongoing to refine the tool and develop a manual for teachers on how
to include children with identified special needs.
• Gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) elements embedded in
INOVASI’s leadership pilot materials help to encourage accessibility
for children with disabilities (by building ramps, installing a disabled
toilet) – although data are not yet available to demonstrate impact.
• For GESI sessions in East Java, the scores improved by about 2
points and more teachers claimed they treat girls and boys equally
(improved from 73% to 87%).
• In Phase I, INOVASI explored problem areas for gender issues.
Access for boys and girls to schooling is no longer a major issue in
Indonesia. Girls outperform boys in both literacy and numeracy.
Gender disparities persist in the teachers’ promotion system, with
women being under-represented in leadership positions and yet
generally outperforming men (according to teachers’ own
perceptions).
• The predominance of mother tongue is a significant factor in
children’s exclusion in many remote regions. Children entering
152
school are not fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, the official language of

instruction. INOVASI conducted a number of pilots to develop
approaches to the transition from mother tongue to Bahasa
Indonesia in early grades. These language transition pilots increased
student scores more than the regular literacy pilots.
• Multi-grade pilots, especially in Probolinggo, successfully
demonstrated how the approach can improve learning outcomes for
children in small schools in remote areas.
Improvements in i. Changes in practice at district or sub-district level that generate better
district education education service delivery include improved teaching techniques for
service delivery more effective learning and new initiatives focusing on students’ needs.
Throughout the INOVASI program, service delivery for the education
sector within partner districts improved as reflected by the scaling out
of INOVASI approaches acknowledged by its district partners as
endorsing better practices:
ii.
• All 17 partner districts have been actively involved in co-designing,
co-funding and co-managing the pilots from 2017 to 2020: Bima,
Dompu, Central Lombok, North Lombok, Sumbawa, West
Sumbawa, West Sumba, Southwest Sumba, Central Sumba, East
Sumba, Bulungan, Malinau, Batu City, Sidoarjo, Pasuruan,
Probolinggo and Sumenep.
• INOVASI spot checks to monitor the pilots showed improvements
and progress in several aspects, including for scale-out pilots. For
example: children have better access to books; literacy activities are
stronger and supported by school policy; and schools allocate funds
to develop learning media and improve teachers’ capacity. Across all
pilots, the percentage of teachers using appropriate learning media
increased by 23 points, from 38% to 61%. The percentage of
classrooms with reading corners almost doubled from 24% to 47%
(excluding reading corners with only textbooks). This becomes 68%
(increased by 44 points) when reading corners with only textbooks
are included.
• All the 17 partner districts allocated local funds to scale out the
INOVASI pilots, worth AUD3.1 million. In addition to the key partners,
in 2020, two new districts started to collaborate with INOVASI and
scale out the program developed by INOVASI with neighbouring
districts. The two districts are Tanah Tidung in North Kalimantan and
Nagekeo in East Nusa Tenggara.
• All 17 partner districts supported and leveraged the programs with
local policies: 70 bills were drafted and 51 policies were launched to
support pilots and scale out. Out of these policies, 43% were district
head decrees, 20% were circular letters, 16% were head or mayor’s
regulations, while 12% were memorandums of understanding
(MoUs) and other types of regulations.
Policy change, iii. At sub-national level, INOVASI’s work resulted in 51 new policies,
influence and support where 49 policies were at district level for 15 districts and an additional
two policies at provincial level for North Kalimantan and East Java.

153
These regulations enabled ongoing district efforts to improve literacy,

numeracy and inclusion:
• Early evidence of success in districts’ take up of problem-based
policy development was evident in partner districts using the PDIA
approach, such as Central Lombok consulting with teachers and
stakeholders on teachers’ working group guidelines.
• In East Nusa Tenggara, INOVASI built on the political momentum
created by the previous DFAT-funded Analytical and Capacity
Development Partnership (ACDP) program and provided ongoing
support for the politically significant cross-district Sumba education
forum.
• In 2019, INOVASI supported the East Nusa Tenggara provincial
government in preparing a consultative ‘grand design’ for basic
education and a roadmap to implement it. This is significant as the
province is taking the lead in coordinating an integrated approach to
improving learning outcomes within the districts that are responsible
for basic education. The grand design focuses on foundational skills
– literacy, numeracy and inclusion, along with character education.
• Working with stakeholders, INOVASI conducted a comprehensive
analysis of district education finance (see annex 7 for a summary of
the district education finance assessment), showing trends of
increasing spend on quality improvement, over three years, that they
shared with other programs and donors as well as local and national
government. The study highlights the need to increase funding for
programs and activities to improve learning outcomes and is useful
to leverage political support for this funding.
At national level, the program’s work resulted in four main developments:
(1) the adoption and national scale out of a tool to identify children with
special needs; (2) improved procedures to approve children’s books; (3)
adoption and adaptation of training modules in literacy and numeracy for
national professional development programs in MoEC and MoRA; and
(4) adoption and adaptation of INOVASI’s approach to grant-based
partnerships in MoEC’s national 'change agent’ program, Organisasi
Penggerak.
• Through direct advocacy and shared activities, INOVASI has
supported the head of MoEC’s research and development body and
the Ministry of Home Affairs, and accelerated interest in policy
settings that are responsive to sub-national contexts and priorities.
• Responding to a request from MoEC, INOVASI also conducted a
study into regulations and over-regulation in the sector that inhibit
innovation in teaching and learning. This study was co-authored with
MoEC’s policy unit and was disseminated internally.
• INOVASI produced a series of policy briefs, based on outcomes from
the pilots, that have been used at national and sub-national levels to
advocate for changes to curriculum, assessment, teacher
management, financial management and systemic support, all aimed
at improving learning outcomes for Indonesian children. An example
of this is the literacy and numeracy policy briefs that arose from pilot
154
outcomes and are now informing the national curriculum and

assessment reviews.
• INOVASI provided support in developing the 2019–2024 mid-term
national development plan (RPJMN). Additionally, INOVASI
supported curriculum analysis and numeracy modules at the national
level that are being adapted for use by both MoEC and MoRA in
continuing professional development approaches.
