    Parallel Title: Jakubowski, Maciej The Impact of the 1999 Education Reform in Poland
    Abstract: Increasing the share of vocational secondary schooling has been a mainstay of development policy for decades, perhaps nowhere more so than in formerly socialist countries. The transition, however, led to significant restructuring of school systems, including a declining share of vocational students. Exposing more students to a general curriculum could improve academic abilities. This paper analyzes Poland’s significant improvement in international achievement tests and the restructuring of the education system that expanded general schooling to test the hypothesis that delayed vocational streaming improves outcomes. Using propensity score matching and differences-in-differences estimates, the authors show that delayed vocationalization had a positive and significant impact on student performance on the order of one standard deviation

    Abstract: One of the key features of the Dutch education system is freedom of education - freedom to establish schools and organize teaching. Almost 70 percent of schools in the Netherlands are administered by private school boards, and all schools are government funded equally. This allows school choice. Using an instrument to identify school choice, it is shown that the Dutch system promotes academic performance. The instrumental variables results show that private school attendance is associated with higher test scores. Private school size effects in math, reading, and science achievement are 0.17, 0.28, and 0.18

    Within-School Tracking in South Korea : An Analysis Using Pisa 2003 (2010)

    Parallel Title: Macdonald, Kevin Within-School Tracking in South Korea
    Abstract: The 2003 PISA Korea sample is used to examine the association between within-school ability tracking and mathematics achievement. Estimates of a variety of econometric models reveal that tracking is positively associated with mathematics achievement among females and that this association declines for higher achieving females. No evidence of an association between males and tracking is detected. While this association for females cannot be interpreted as a causal effect, the presence of a measurable association indicates the need for further research on tracking in Korea with a particular focus on gender differences

    The Determinants of Wealth and Gender Inequity in Cognitive Skills in Latin America (2010)

    Parallel Title: Guaqueta, Juliana The Determinants of Wealth and Gender Inequity in Cognitive Skills in Latin America
    Abstract: Wealth and gender inequity in the accumulation of cognitive skills is measured as the association between subject competency and wealth and gender using the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment. Wealth inequity is found to occur not through disparate household characteristics but rather through disparate school characteristics; little evidence is found of an association between wealth and competency within schools. Weak evidence is found of wealth mitigating gender differences through school characteristics. These findings suggest that wealth inequity in the accumulation of cognitive skills is almost exclusively associated with disparate school characteristics and that disparate school characteristics may play a role in accentuating gender inequity

    Abstract: En este libro se revisa el conocimiento basico existente sobre la administracion escolar descentralizada alrededor del mundo y se demuestra la importancia de una evaluacion rigurosa del impacto para formular propuestas de politicas. Varios paises en desarrollo estan introduciendo reformas de administracion escolar dirigidas a empoderar a los directores y maestros de las escuelas. Muchas de estas reformas refuerzan tambien la participacion de los padres. La administracion escolar descentralizada tiene el potencial para convertirse en un medio de muy bajo costo, para que el gasto publico en educacion sea mas eficiente, aumentando la responsabilidad en cada institucion. En esta publicacion se desarrolla un marco teorico de administracion escolar descentralizada y se revisa la experiencia de mas de 20 paises. Los autores ofrecen una breve descripcion de algunas reformas de ese tipo, junto con evidencia sobre su impacto en varios indicadores. En general, encuentran que la administracion escolar descentralizada tiene un efecto positivo sobre algunas variables "reduce las tasas de repeticion y de fracaso y mejora la asistencia", pero resultados mixtos en otras
