Abstract: This report describes an initiative undertaken from 2016-2017 by the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution and Education International (EI) to develop tools to measure the breadth of learning opportunities to which children and youth are exposed in an education system. The Breadth of Learning Opportunities (BOLO) initiative provides tools to document (1) whether opportunities are provided for learning across a diverse group of domains; and (2) how the key dimensions of an education system (curriculum, assessments, teacher supports, monitoring, and school resources) align to support delivery of breadth of learning opportunities. First, the authors provide the rationale for developing these tools. Next, they describe the tools developed through this initiative. They then explain how the tools can be adapted, and some of the questions the tools might be used to answer. This report is part of a package of documents, which includes the most recent version of the tools, a description of how the tools were developed, and case studies of tool piloting in Kenya and Mexico.
