The Effect of Primary-School Quality on Academic Achievement Across Twenty-nine High- and Low-Income Countries
Most previous research on effects of schooling has concluded that the effect of school or teacher quality on academic achievement is less than that of family background or other characteristics of students that predate entry into school. However, the evidence for that generalization is derived mainly from a few of the world's school systems (mostly in Europe, North America, and Japan). This paper explores diverse influences on pupil achievement i…
Education and corruption
Third World School Quality
Eager to boost literacy, economic growth, and national institutions, Third World governments and international aid agencies have greatly expanded schooling since the 1950s. Enrollments have quintupled since the late ‘50s, from 100 million children to now more than 500 million. The sharp economic decline felt over the past decade throughout the developing world, however, has led to deep cuts in education budgets. Child populations are doubling eve…

Why Impoverished Children do well in Ugandan Schools
The influence of socioeconomic status upon the academic performance of poor children in Ugandan schools is investigated. In Uganda, socioeconomic status has little influence on school children's academic performance because the children of the wealthy are no more self-confident than are the children of the poor. The lack of influence exerted by socioeconomic status is due to the comparative recency of wide economic stratification; the close link …

International organizations and the future of education assistance
Education began to be included as a component of foreign assistance in the early 1960s as it is a principal ingredient of development. A number of multilateral and bilateral agencies were established around this time to implement various types of aid programmes; however, their effectiveness is constantly being questioned and challenged due to a variety of problems. This paper reviews the past and current activities of bilateral, multilateral orga…
Education, Social Cohesion, and the Future Role of International Organizations
Although they have many important functions, The European Union, many federal governments, and the United Nations (UN) have few areas where their mandates call for them to dictate, adjudicate, or legislate education policy. Education, for the most part, has traditionally been viewed as relevant to local culture and hence subject to local control. This is now changing. Traditional interest in mathematics, science, and language remain, and although…

A Comment on the Changes in Higher Education in the Former Soviet Union
At the time of their independence, the structure of higher education, curriculum content, governance, and admissions procedures were more or less identical across the fifteen republics of the former Soviet Union. Since independence there have been multiple changes, but often these have been quite similar in nature. There has been a move toward standardized testing as a criterion for admissions. There has been a restructuring away from sector mini…

Changes in Efficiency and in Equity Accruing from Government Involvement in Ugandan Primary Education
In an article on educational planning, C. Arnold Anderson and Mary Jean Bowman (1968) suggest that there is a conflict between equity and efficiency in the distribution of schools. Since independence, each Anglophonic African state has altered the English educational inheritance of local religious and voluntary schools and has opted in favor of a more centralized system of state control. Centralized control, according to Anderson and Bowman, coul…

Education and Social Policy in Central Asia
This paper discusses the challenges facing the education system of Central Asia and evaluates how these have been addressed in the market economy. We first review the evidence on the economic return to education and determine how the rewards to different levels of education changed during the transition. We then examine the trends in school enrolment and evaluate whether changes in supply or demand explain the enrolment trends we observe. Finally…

Student Background and Student Achievement
For half a century there have been reports that children of the poor or of some ethnic minorities on average perform worse in school. Some have suggested that these findings demonstrate a failing of education to reduce gaps in adult income and differences in adult socioeconomic status. This article reviews the research internationally and concludes that the debate is outdated. School children in the United States make up only 2 percent of the wor…

Influences on Academic Achievement
School variables account for only a modest proportion of variance in academic achievement. Neither physical facilities nor characteristics of teachers match the strength of pupil socioeconomic status and other indices of the pupil's out-of-school environment. These findings, so vividly portrayed in the Coleman and Jencks studies, can now be generalized beyond the United States to Great Britain, to Western Europe, and (relying on the recently publ…

Um sentido renovado para os propósitos da educação escolar
Este artigo resume a experiência de enfrentamento dos conflitos de coesão social — e conseqüentemente de desenvolvimento econômico — pelos quais passam países da África, da Ásia, da América Latina, da Europa e da Ásia Central. As relações entre educação e coesão social são também analisadas nas diferentes regiões acima mencionadas. Os autores discutem, principalmente, os problemas étnicos e de corrupção pública ligados à coesão social; e consider…

The Frequency and Quality of Measures Utilized in Federally-Sponsored Research on Children and Adolescents
Every test intended for use in FY ‘75 Federally-funded research on children or youth was placed on a list. The list eventually comprised the titles of 1,570 instruments. Some were mentioned by many principal investigators in their proposals; others were mentioned by only one. Some tests were highly respected instruments; others were not. The question pursued was whether there was a relationship between an instrument’s quality and the frequency wi…

Universal Adult Literacy
There is not the slightest doubt that literacy is good and its effects significant, but the virtues of literacy have occasionally been promoted in isolation from competing social objectives. This article notes three past mistakes in advocating literacy programs and suggests that future arguments would be more effective if past mistakes were taken into account
