Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, the World Bank’s World Development Report (WDR) features a topic of central importance to global development. The 2018 WDR—LEARNING to Realize Education’s Promise—is the first ever devoted entirely to education. And the time is right: education has long been critical to human welfare, but it is even more so in a time of rapid economic and social change. The best way to equip children and youth for the future is to make their learning the center of all efforts to promote education. The 2018 WDR explores four main themes: First, education’s promise: education is a powerful instrument for eradicating poverty and promoting shared prosperity, but fulfilling its potential requires better policies—both within and outside the education system. Second, the need to shine a light on learning: despite gains in access to education, recent learning assessments reveal that many young people around the world, especially those who are poor or marginalized, are leaving school unequipped with even the foundational skills they need for life. At the same time, internationally comparable learning assessments show that skills in many middle-income countries lag far behind what those countries aspire to. And too often these shortcomings are hidden—so as a first step to tackling this learning crisis, it is essential to shine a light on it by assessing student learning better. Third, how to make schools work for all learners: research on areas such as brain science, pedagogical innovations, and school management has identified interventions that promote learning by ensuring that learners are prepared, teachers are both skilled and motivated, and other inputs support the teacher-learner relationship. Fourth, how to make systems work for learning: achieving learning throughout an education system requires more than just scaling up effective interventions. Countries must also overcome technical and political barriers by deploying salient metrics for mobilizing actors and tracking progress, building coalitions for learning, and taking an adaptive approach to reform.

Download or read book The Economics of School Choice written by Caroline M. Hoxby and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has declared school voucher programs constitutional, the many unanswered questions concerning the potential effects of school choice will become especially pressing. Contributors to this volume draw on state-of-the-art economic methods to answer some of these questions, investigating the ways in which school choice affects a wide range of issues. Combining the results of empirical research with analyses of the basic economic forces underlying local education markets, The Economics of School Choice presents evidence concerning the impact of school choice on student achievement, school productivity, teachers, and special education. It also tackles difficult questions such as whether school choice affects where people decide to live and how choice can be integrated into a system of school financing that gives children from different backgrounds equal access to resources. Contributors discuss the latest findings on Florida's school choice program as well as voucher programs and charter schools in several other states. The resulting volume not only reveals the promise of school choice, but examines its pitfalls as well, showing how programs can be designed that exploit the idea's potential but avoid its worst effects. With school choice programs gradually becoming both more possible and more popular, this book stands out as an essential exploration of the effects such programs will have, and a necessary resource for anyone interested in the idea of school choice.

Download or read book Global Productivity written by Alistair Dieppe and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic struck the global economy after a decade that featured a broad-based slowdown in productivity growth. Global Productivity: Trends, Drivers, and Policies presents the first comprehensive analysis of the evolution and drivers of productivity growth, examines the effects of COVID-19 on productivity, and discusses a wide range of policies needed to rekindle productivity growth. The book also provides a far-reaching data set of multiple measures of productivity for up to 164 advanced economies and emerging market and developing economies, and it introduces a new sectoral database of productivity. The World Bank has created an extraordinary book on productivity, covering a large group of countries and using a wide variety of data sources. There is an emphasis on emerging and developing economies, whereas the prior literature has concentrated on developed economies. The book seeks to understand growth patterns and quantify the role of (among other things) the reallocation of factors, technological change, and the impact of natural disasters, including the COVID-19 pandemic. This book is must-reading for specialists in emerging economies but also provides deep insights for anyone interested in economic growth and productivity. Martin Neil Baily Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution Former Chair, U.S. President’s Council of Economic Advisers This is an important book at a critical time. As the book notes, global productivity growth had already been slowing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and collapses with the pandemic. If we want an effective recovery, we have to understand what was driving these long-run trends. The book presents a novel global approach to examining the levels, growth rates, and drivers of productivity growth. For anyone wanting to understand or influence productivity growth, this is an essential read. Nicholas Bloom William D. Eberle Professor of Economics, Stanford University The COVID-19 pandemic hit a global economy that was already struggling with an adverse pre-existing condition—slow productivity growth. This extraordinarily valuable and timely book brings considerable new evidence that shows the broad-based, long-standing nature of the slowdown. It is comprehensive, with an exceptional focus on emerging market and developing economies. Importantly, it shows how severe disasters (of which COVID-19 is just the latest) typically harm productivity. There are no silver bullets, but the book suggests sensible strategies to improve growth prospects. John Fernald Schroders Chaired Professor of European Competitiveness and Reform and Professor of Economics, INSEAD

This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do I research the relationship between education and productivity can influence the economic growth to Asia developing countries? Although, human capital includes education, health and aspects of social capital. The main focus of the present study is on education. The analysis stresses the destination between the quantity of education measured by years of attainment at various levels and the quality measured by scores on internationally comparable examinations, e.g. China education and Korea education compare. In fact, the global long term economic growth was the central macroeconomic problem and it was fortunately accompanied in the late 1980 year by importance advances in the theory of economic growth. This period featured the development of global growth models, in which the long term rate of growth was determined within the model.A key feature of these models is a theory of technological progress, viewed as a process whereby purposeful research and application lead over time to new and better products and methods of production by developed economic globalization. The recent growth models are useful for understanding why advanced economies and the world is as whole, can continue to grow in the long run despite the workings of diminishing returns in the accumulation of physical and human capital. These countries include, e.g. America, England which are observed to be rich and high tend also to be those that have high long run target levels of per high capita output in a setting that includes human capital and technological change. So education is also essential to raise labor knowledge and technological level to assist developed countries, e.g. USA, UK, to raise productivity to achieve economic growth. So, the developed or developing countries' both government policies and education institutions need to concern their national population to arrange the different primary, secondary and tertiary educational policy to educate to develop whose students to develop different professional and knowledgeable and skillful abilities to already develop their careers in different nature of jobs to enter their societies to work nowadays. However, if we were the identify how education contributes to cause economic growth in any Asia developing countries. We need to compare states that have a similar distance to the frontier and yet choose difference pattern of investment in education. For example, building a new school for a research university, the process is when a vacancy arises on an committee that controls expenditure. Because governments and universities need to concern what the labour market demand, so the research university can decide prefer to choose what kinds of subjects to be taught to its potential students, e.g. medical or architect or law or engineering or business or social science, computer science etc. subjects among of them subjects, which subjects will be chosen to be taught to its potential students preferably. So, the job demand market research is very important because it can help the research university to choose what the preferable subjects will be demanded to supply to the labor market increasing in any one of Asia developing countries within future three or five years. Theories of economic growth have emphasized the role of human capital which may affect economic growth. Human capital is as an extra input in the aggregate production function, where the output of the means economy is a direct function of factor inputs: physical capital, labor and human capital. However, technologies can raise innovate capacity of economy through developing new ideas. So, education was seemed that it could be raised graduated students' abilities to raise productivity to any one of Asia developing countries by high technological skill.Long run economic growth challenge influences to education provision to developing Asia countries
