Innocenti Research Report Data Must Speak: Unpacking factors influencing school performance AUTHOR(S) Komlan Nouwokpo Samati; Alexis Le Nestour; Renaud Comba Published: 2023 Innocenti Research Report Niger has developed an Economic and Social Development Plan (PDES) aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular target 4.1 which aims, by 2030, to ensure that all girls and boys attend, on an equal footing, a full cycle of free, quality primary and secondary education, leading to truly useful learning.What resources and contextual factors are associated with good school performances in Niger? By merging and analyzing existing administrative datasets in Niger, this report helps to identify positive deviant schools – those that outperform other schools despite sharing similar contexts and resources. Data Must Speak – a global initiative implemented since 2014 – aims to address the evidence gaps to mitigate the learning crisis using existing data. The DMS Positive Deviance research is co-created and co-implemented with Ministries of Education and key partners. DMS research relies on mixed methods and innovative approaches (i.e., positive deviance approach, behavioural sciences, implementation research and scaling science) to generate knowledge and practical lessons about ‘what works’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ to scale grassroots solutions for national policymakers and the broader international community of education stakeholders. DMS research is currently implemented in 14 countries: Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Madagascar, Mali, Nepal, Niger, the United Republic of Tanzania, Togo and Zambia. + - Cite this publication | Thematic area: Education | Tags: data analysis × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Komlan Nouwokpo Samati; Alexis Le Nestour; Renaud Comba 2023 Data Must Speak: Unpacking factors influencing school performance.
Innocenti Research Briefs Navigating Digital Learning: Insights into the Pasaporte al Aprendizaje Programme in Mexico AUTHOR(S) Marta Carnelli; Pragya Dewan; Sophia Kan; Janina Cuevas Zúñiga Published: 2023 Innocenti Research Briefs In 2021, Mexico introduced Pasaporte al Aprendizaje, a localized version of the Learning Passport digital learning platform, to mitigate learning loss after widespread school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Between October 2021 and February 2023, almost 100,000 students utilized it for upper-secondary courses.The research explores the key design and implementation steps undertaken for the successful deployment and use of the Pasaporte al Aprendizaje. In addition, analysis of data from the digital learning platform shows that students assessment scores improved as they progressed through courses, in subjects such as mathematics, Spanish, chemistry and physics. The overall goal of this research is to inform improvements in the Pasaporte al Aprendizaje and provide key lessons learned for other countries implementing national digital learning programmes. + - Cite this publication | Thematic area: Education | Tags: digital learning, e-learning, online learning × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Marta Carnelli; Pragya Dewan; Sophia Kan; Janina Cuevas Zúñiga 2023 Navigating Digital Learning: Insights into the Pasaporte al Aprendizaje Programme in Mexico.

Innocenti Research Report Child Work and Child Labour: The Impact of Educational Policies and Programmes in Low- and Middle-Income Countries AUTHOR(S) Chuka Emezue; Cristina Pozneanscaia; Greg Sheaf; Valeria Groppo; Shivit Bakrania; Josiah Kaplan Published: 2023 Innocenti Research Report Progress towards eliminating child labour stalled for the first time in 20 years from 2016 to 2020. This slowdown puts at risk the international community’s efforts to eliminate child labour by 2025. Action is needed.Child Work and Child Labour: The impact of educational policies and programmes in low- and middle-income countries is a rapid evidence assessment of the evidence on the effectiveness of educational policies and programmes in addressing child labour in low- and middle-income countries. It focuses on describing the causal impact of schooling programmes and policies on labour outcomes, based on experimental and quasi- experimental studies, and systematic reviews. To the extent information is available within the considered studies, it also identifies and discusses the main pathways and mechanisms of impact, as well as the programme design features that influence programme effectiveness.Find the accompanying evidence gap map here. + - Cite this publication | Thematic area: Child Work and Labour, Education | Tags: child education, child labour, labour, low income, middle-income countries × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Chuka Emezue; Cristina Pozneanscaia; Greg Sheaf; Valeria Groppo; Shivit Bakrania; Josiah Kaplan 2023 Child Work and Child Labour: The Impact of Educational Policies and Programmes in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.
