Eliminating Global Learning Poverty: The Importance of Equalities and Equity
This paper explores the quantitative relationships between average levels of learning achievement across countries
Abstract
This paper explores the quantitative relationships between average levels of learning achievement across countries, changes in average levels of learning achievement, the inequality of distribution of achievement and the proportion of students learning at or below an absolute minimum to show how various factors such as gender or wealth impact learning levels and that ‘systems-related’ inequality, not directly related to such factors, is typically much larger than inequality associated with any of those factors.
