I am commissioning an article series on education reform on behalf of Transitions Online (TOL) and Open Society Institute (OSI) Education Support Program.
I am looking for journalists/ analysts to write the pieces on Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania.
The articles are meant to be "snapshots" summarizing, in a manner accessible to non-experts, the state of education in the target countries.
In particular, the stories will focus on disparities and effective strategies to address them, namely:
- Social exclusion: equal access to quality education for low income
- families;
- desegregation of children from minority groups;
- inclusion and adequate care for children with special needs;
- openness and accountability in education systems and education reforms: equitable and efficient state expenditures on education;
- anticorruption and transparency; accountable governance and management;
- open society values in education: social justice and social action;
- diversity and pluralism;
- critical and creative thinking.
The style will be journalistic, rather than academic, with on-site interviews with the relevant experts, covering the major issues in education reform in the respective countries. The average length of the articles will be between 1,200-1,500 words. The pay is $250 and the language of the article is English.
