Stromquist, Nelly P. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2020
This Viewpoint argues that, while efforts must continue to achieve universal primary and secondary education at the global level for both boys and girls, the concern with access and thus enrollment and completion parity has blinded many governments from seeing the crucial need to examine what is actually learned in school. Stronger concern with…

Physiology and assessment constitute major bottlenecks of school learning among students with low socioeconomic status. The limited resources and household overcrowding typical of poverty produce deficits in nutrition, sleep, and exercise that strongly hinder physiology and hence learning. Likewise, overcrowded classrooms hamper the assessment of…

De Stercke, Joachim; Goyette, Nancy; Robertson, Jean E. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2015
This Viewpoint proposes a new perspective on why so many teachers leave the profession after only a very short time. While existing studies have largely focused on employment and working conditions, this essay argues that happiness is key to keeping new teachers in the workplace. Juxtaposing two fields that have heretofore been oblivious of one…

Montjourides, Patrick – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2013
Poor-quality, or completely absent, data deny millions of children the right to an education. This is often the case in conflict-ridden areas. The 2011 Education for All Global Monitoring Report (UNESCO 2011b) identified four failures that are holding back progress in education and damaging millions of children's lives: failures of protection,…

Hill, Ian – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2012

Adams, Don – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2012
