A variety of terms are used to define this educational model, including bilingual, binational, multicultural, and integrated, as well as a form of peace education and critical democratic education. This multiplicity of definitions reflects the fact that while all the PJ schools were founded on a fund...

The effect of working on students’ learning in Latin America: Evidence from the learning survey TERCE
Publication date: October 2019Source: International Journal of Educational Development, Volume 70Author(s): Marcos Delprato, Kwame AkyeampongAbstractThere is limited comparable and robust research on the effect of children's work on learning for developing countries. We use matching techniques relying on rich information from the Third Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (TERCE) for 15 Latin American countries and a bounding approach to account for unobservables. We find that work leads to 9 (math) and 13 (reading) points less in achievement for sixth grade students, with a significant variation within the learning ...

Toilets for education: Evidence from Kenya’s primary school-level data
This study empirically examines the effects of school toilet provision on the primary-school attendance rate in Kenya. Using over 4200 school-level observations between 2013 and 2015, the results consistently show that an increase in the school toilet availability per student significantly raises the primary school attendance rate among both boys and girls. Moreover, the effects are larger for girls than for boys, and especially for pubescent girls. The results suggest that the provision of school toilets is critical to reduce the gender education gap in developing countries, as well as to improve overall school attendance...

Examining self-directedness and its relationships with lifelong learning and earnings in Yunnan, Vietnam, Germany, and the United States
This study provides an empirical analysis of the significance of self-directedness in learning in the labor market and further pursuit of education and training among adults in two high-income (Germany, U.S) and two middle-income countries (Vietnam, Yunnan China). We find substantial gaps in the self-directedness measures between low- and high-SES workers. Additionally, self-directedness in learning is rewarded in the labor market in Yunnan and Vietnam. Those who are motivated to learn and are resilient are more likely to pursue further learning opportunities in the high-income countries, as well as in Yunnan China where a...

The distributions of teacher qualification: A cross-national study
This study also examines the relationships between national contexts and the distributions of teacher qualifications. The findings suggest that income inequality is negatively associated with within-school exposure gaps to out-of-field reading teachers. The findings from this study support the notion that governments play a critical role in narrowing the gaps of teacher distribution. Specifically, equitable teacher distribution relies on government allocations of teachers more equally between and within schools to better ensure equitable distribution across student socioeconomic status.
