2.4 Programmes targeting student outcomes and attitudes: from pockets of<br />
good practice to national-level reach<br />
The fourth evolutionary path focused in detail on the range of programmes and interventions for<br />
English language learning (and to a lesser extent, English-medium subjects) in Brunei, particularly<br />
those put in place between the MoE and CfBT. These primarily related to initiatives designed to<br />
improve O Level attainment, key influences during the implementation of each programme and<br />
the use of data to inform next steps. This included targeting students and schools to promote<br />
improvement.<br />
