Project description

TAMAM Project is an educational reform movement in the Arab region combining research with development to bring about and support school-based initiatives for sustainable school improvement. Its title is derived from the initials of the Arabic translation of the phrase “school-based reform” [Al-Tatweer Al-Mustanid ila Al-Madrasa]. In the context of Arab countries, TAMAM adopts an approach to reform that breaks the current trend of the prescriptive “top-down” approaches for school improvement and promotes an alternative model where “bottom-up” improvement initiatives receive “top-down support” to facilitate the effective implementation and sustainability of innovative practices. This is made possible through the partnership among policymakers, university researchers and practitioners at the school level that TAMAM established as a critical principle for the project.
