School efficiency in Latin America before and after the Covid-19 pandemic: New evidence from Pisa 2018 and 2022
The efficiency of schools can be measured as the ratio between the outputs produced (achievement) and the inputs utilised (human and technical resources). Once efficiency levels are obtained for each school through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) techniques, one can assess how an education system as a whole is either far or close to a maximum efficient educational frontier given available resources. Further, one can rely on this estimated frontie…
Effects of Covid-19 education policies on students’ learning proficiency in Latin America—Insights from Pisa 2022
A multilevel analysis of educational transition rates at secondary level in sub-Saharan Africa
Estimates show that, in 2019, only 41 per cent of students completed lower secondary and 28 per cent upper secondary education in the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region (UNESCO, 2021). One of the reasons for the low completion rates is the poor transition across secondary education due to the significant impact of factors at individual, household, and community levels shaping demand and supply constraints. This article employs a three-level logit to…
Climate, environment, geography, and spatial education inequality in sub-Saharan Africa
Climate change and its impact on education completion rates across four sub-Saharan African countries: A non-parametric approach at the community level
Spatial education inequality for attainment indicators in sub-saharan Africa and spillovers effects
Space plays a prominent role on educational inequalities. Spatially proximate communities are likely to behave and perform similarly than spatially distant communities because educational processes, demand and supply factors, are often location specific within a country, with educational outcomes and educational inequalities being spatially dependent. Yet, studies on monitoring education inequalities linked to SDG4 indicators have ignored the cru…
Contextual characteristics and heterogeneity of female teacher supply – The case of public primary schools in Mexico
The effect of philosophy on critical reading: Evidence from initial teacher education in Colombia
Teacher quality, its effect on students’ outcomes, and the association of these with economic growth, is the core of recent discussions in Latin America given the region’s weak results in international learning assessments. This paper investigates whether there is an effect of philosophy on the outcomes of critical reading for students in B.Ed. programs in Colombia. Relying on exact matching combined with propensity score matching with regression…
Technological resources, ICT use and schools efficiency in Latin America – Insights from OECD Pisa 2018
The efficiency of schools can be defined and measured as the ratio between the outputs produced (for example, achievement and competences) and the inputs utilized (human and technical resources). Technology holds the promise of increasing the efficiency of schools’ operations, although empirical evidence on this is still scarce. This paper explores whether the ICT availability and use in 2757 schools from 10 Latin American countries are associate…
Children and adolescents educational gender gaps across the lifecourse in sub-Saharan Africa: On the role of mothers' lack of empowerment as a barrier for girls' educational performance
We estimate the impact of lack of mothers’ empowerment on an array of educational outcomes for their children in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), focusing on the gender gap. Further, we look into how this operates by the degree of marginalisation of communities and on weakening educational transfers. We find that gender inequality is still a significant barrier in SSA compounded by weak mothers’ empowerment for improving educational outcomes for girls i…
Lack of educational access, women's empowerment and spatial education inequality for the Eastern and Western Africa regions
Space, beyond standard urban/rural divisions, plays a leading role in the diffusion of educational access. In this paper, using geo-localisation and Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) we analyse spatial inequality in educational access (primary, lower secondary and upper secondary levels) for 13,000 communities from 22 countries in the Eastern and Western African regions. We find that: (i) space matters for educational access after accounting f…
Targeted and Multidimensional Approaches to Overcome Inequalities in Secondary Education for Adolescent Girls: The Impact of the Campaign for Female Education (Camfed) Program in Tanzania and Zimbabwe
In many low- and lower-middle-income countries, key barriers to girls’ secondary school access and learning include poverty, school inaccessibility, poor school quality, and lack of gender-sensitive practices in the classroom. The nongovernmental organization, Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED), provides a range of financial, pedagogical, and community-supported interventions aimed at removing these barriers in government secondary schools in…
