Here, as we shall see in detail in the following chapter, reform is neither only system led nor only schools led, but necessarily both supporting each other. In other words, in the ‘good to great’ scenario: • • Schools exist in increasingly complex and turbulent environments, but the best schools ‘turn towards the danger’ and adapt external change for internal purpose. Schools use external standards to clarify, integrate and raise their own expectations.

These examples from a range of both developing and developed systems provide a striking contrast to the previous discussion of performance-based reform. They begin to provide a specification for system-wide reform that is large scale yes, but also enhances standards of learning and achievement over time while building capacity and ownership throughout the system.
