INPUT
Aurora aims to allocate 7% of its GDP to education, reflecting its commitment to a high-quality education
system aligned with its developed status. To achieve this, the country will utilize a combination of public
funds, local government contributions, and private partnerships. Additionally, sustainable financing
programs, such as tourism taxes, will be introduced to support education in rural and coastal areas,
ensuring equitable resource distribution.
In terms of human resources, the focus is on recruiting and retaining skilled multilingual educators to
cater to Aurora’s diverse linguistic and cultural needs. To achieve this:
● An island-wide Teacher Training Program will be established, emphasizing multilingual and
multicultural pedagogy.
● Incentives such as housing allowances, travel subsidies, and professional growth opportunities
will be offered to encourage teachers to work in rural and coastal regions.
These measures aim to strengthen Aurora's education system by ensuring both adequate funding and a
motivated, skilled workforce.
OUTPUT
The education system will employ a comprehensive approach to measure student success, aligning with
OECD quality education indicators. Key measures include:
● Standardized Assessments: Regular standardized tests in core subjects, incorporating adaptive
testing for individual needs.
● Graduation Rates: Targeting a 95% secondary education graduation rate, including vocational
and technical programs.
● Skill Attainment: Using project-based assessments and digital portfolios to measure critical
thinking, creativity, problem-solving, technical skills, and multilingual proficiency.
● Student Well-being: Regular surveys to assess mental health, school satisfaction, social
engagement, civic engagement, and community participation.
● Post-Education Outcomes: Monitoring employment rates, higher education enrollment,
entrepreneurial activity, and alumni feedback to assess the alignment of education with industry
needs and societal contributions.
IMPACT
Our education system aims to foster well-rounded individuals who are academically proficient, possess
strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and are socially and emotionally intelligent. By
cultivating such individuals, we aim to contribute to economic growth by fostering innovation and a
skilled workforce, improve social well-being by promoting mental health, civic engagement, and reduced
inequalities, and equip students for a globalized world. We will measure our effectiveness through various
metrics, including tracking student outcomes, assessing social and economic indicators, and gathering
feedback from stakeholders.
