Time and Opportunity to Learn in Pakistan's Schools: Some Lessons on the Links between Research and Policy.
Reimers, Fernando
Comparative Education, v29 n2 p201-12 1993
In approximately 1,000 grade-4 and grade-5 classrooms in Pakistan, student mathematics and science achievement were not related to teacher absenteeism, aggregate student absenteeism, or minutes of instruction. The findings suggest the limits of educational policy interventions: that mandatory allocated instructional time is less relevant to achievement than context-specific factors such as engaged learning time.
