Raising Learning Outcomes in the Education Systems of Developing Countries
Department of Education | St. Antony's College | University of Oxford
Hilary Term | January - March
Supported by the ESRC, DFID, and Aga Khan Foundation
Despite the advances made in securing access to education for many more children around the world than was the case a decade ago, large numbers still do not have access to formal education; and where they do, many are not learning at all, or learning fast enough to make successful transitions through the education system.
And while there is a concerted effort to redress the learning gap, and indeed the learning divide, our understandings of those policies and interventions that are most likely to lead to improvements in learning for all, especially for the more disadvantaged learners remains partial.
So, how might we improve our understanding of what works to raise learning outcomes for all?
The ESRC-DFID Raising Learning Outcomes in Education Systems Research Programme consists of a portfolio of 29 interdisciplinary research teams, each that undertakes cutting edge research on the manner in which the complex relationships between elements of the education system, the contexts in which they are embedded, and the dynamics operating within the system impact on efforts to raise learning outcomes for all.
This seminar series, organised by the ESRC-DFID Programme Research Lead brings together researchers from across the portfolio of research grants to present their questions, their thinking, and their learning.
Seminars will be given at 5pm on Tuesdays in the Syndicate Room, St Antony’s College.
Conveners: David Johnson, Bronwen Magrath, Monazza Aslam, Andrew Cunningham
