While automation has renewed the debate about labor market policy responses to inequality and job losses, less attention has been given to education policy. We present a general equilibrium model and empirical evidence showing how education mitigates wage inequality resulting from a recent, worst‐case expectation of technology’s ability to automate...
This article contrasts policy intent and policy implementation in school autonomy and accountability. The analysis uses a conceptual framework based on the interaction between school autonomy, student assessment, and accountability as elements of a closed system. The article analyzes the implementation of school autonomy and accountability policy,...
There is a consensus on the need for Thailand to reform its education system to be able to compete with other high performing countries in the region. In terms of learning outcomes, the most recent evidence from the Programme for International Student Assessment shows little improvement over time. This paper uses the World Bank's Systems Approach f...

Familiarizes potential users of ADePT Edu software with household surveys since they can vary in design and availability of variables which necessitates software to generate comparable education estimators with this data. Complications with surveys include cost, increased complexity of data processing, and the variation in the conceptualization and...
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. Noevidence of an asso...
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; lit...

... Based on macro-and micro-level data from 24 European economies since 1985, Grigoli et al. (2020) find that higher spending on active labor market programs and education reduces the likelihood of a negative impact of technological change on labor market participation, making the workforce more resilient to such developments. Similarly, Kattan et al. (2021) estimate structural equation models with data from 65 middle and high-income countries. Building on the widely criticized estimates of worst-case automation by Frey and Osborne (2017), they find that higher educational attainments, cognitive skills and general (vs. ...

... Согласно данным PISA (2018), в системе профессионального образования на всех уровнях стало меньше уделяться внимание развитию когнитивных способностей [38] (Bentaouet Kattan, Macdonald and Patrinos, 2018). Программа профессионального обучения ориентировано в основном на развитие технических умений и навыков, оставляя когнитивные и не когнитивные способности второстепенными, что является больше недостатком, чем преимуществом в отношении выпускников и их дальнейшего трудоустройства [39] (Patrison, 2018). ...
... It seems, therefore, that granting autonomy to schools (school autonomy, school-based management) was one of the prerequisites for these reforms. According to the following definition: "school autonomy is a form of school management in which schools are given decision-making authority over their operations, including the hiring and firing of personnel, and the assessment of teachers and pedagogical practices" (Barrera-Osorio et al., 2009;Di Gropello 2004, 2006, in Arcia et al., 2011. ...

... Así, es bastante coherente que la participación de padres y el seguimiento por parte de autoridades administrativas a los colegios esté asociado a mejoras en la equidad, lo que eleva los costos de monitoreo ex post, esto es, los costos de adaptación, de alineación errónea y de administración, asociados con la estructura de gobernanza. Por otra parte, los resultados no evidenciaron la noción de un sistema cerrado, como lo subraya Patrinos et al. (2015), donde autonomía escolar, evaluación, participación de padres y rendición de cuentas interaccionan para mejorar el desempeño. ...

... The results of the survey of the 226 schools that participated in PISA 2009 reveal clear differences between policy intent and policy implementation.Table 1, below, presents theSource:Arcia et al. (2014)School autonomy and accountability in Thailand: Does the gap… 435 scoring for the indicators of school autonomy and accountability, and their corresponding subindicators. In the case of budget planning and management, personnel management, and school council participation, average policy implementation is greater than policy intent. ...
... There is also an unequal distribution of education resources particularly between rural and urban areas. Differences in school characteristics are a significant source of wealth variation, and gender inequalities in education (Macdonald et al. 2010), coupled with weaker links between education and the surrounding economic, cultural, and social contexts (Ndoye 2008). Oftentimes, education planning is rarely integrated into the macroeconomic demands and hardly fosters approaches that help develop endogenous potential (Ndoye 2008; Global Education Monitoring Report 2016b). ...
