Preparing young people to meet emerging contemporary challenges has become a global imperative.

Zhao, Yiran Vicky; Bhattacharjea, Suman; Alcott, Benjamin – Oxford Review of Education, 2023
There is near consensus that early childhood education and care (ECEC) is essential to children's early development. A common corollary is that early learning will be pivotal to helping redress inequities in educational outcomes. We examine whether this is true among rural communities in the Indian states of Assam, Rajasthan, and Telangana.…

The paper uses these strands to construct a critique of the current colonisation of…

Ozga, Jenny; Baird, Jo-Anne; Saville, Luke; Arnott, Margaret; Hell, Niclas – Oxford Review of Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic suspended established practices that, in normal times, are seen as central to the functioning of education systems. For example, in England, school closures led to the cancellation of national examinations in 2020, and their attempted replacement with an algorithmic model. Following public outcry about what were seen as the…

Jones, Mari-Ana; Hall, Valerie – Oxford Review of Education, 2022
During the past thirty years, student (or pupil) voice has gained attention in education policy especially in many Western countries, accelerated by both the acceptance of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1990 and an emphasis on accountability in schools. Multifaceted and complex, student voice in schools…
