However, learners in such environments may face significant linguistic challenges when changing language of instruction during schooling. In particular, the linguistic distance between mother tongue and official language may be a significant barrier to learners. This paper provides an empirical approach to this issue by employing language matching based on linguistic distance between languages to explore changes in literacy scores for learners who change language of instruction. Findings show that the greater the linguistic distance between two languages, the larger the loss in foundational literacy. We conclude that language matching could be introduced as a tool to identify at-risk learners during transitions and, if possible, as a tool for linguistic allocation of students who have the possibility of selecting between schools with different languages for instruction.}, number = {0}, urldate = {2023-02-10}, journal = {Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education}, author = {Daly, Kieran and Carter, Emma and Sabates, Ricardo}, month = jul, year = {2021}, note = {Publisher: Routledge \_eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/03057925.2021.1941772 KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.1080/03057925.2021.1941772 2405685:KV9RQPGW 4042040:F4XHI9TM}, keywords = {Ghana, Mother tongue education, language matching, literacy, multilingualism}, pages = {1--18}, } @article{sabates_using_2021, title = {Using educational transitions to estimate learning loss due to {COVID}-19 school closures: {The} case of {Complementary} {Basic} {Education} in {Ghana}}, volume = {82}, issn = {07380593}, shorttitle = {Using educational transitions to estimate learning loss due to {COVID}-19 school closures}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijedudev.2021.102377}, abstract = {• Estimate learning losses during grade transition for disadvantaged and previously out of school students in Ghana. • The estimated average learning loss is around 66 \% of previous learning gains in foundational numeracy during this transition period. • Widening gaps in learning loss are found according to availability of home learning support, as well as home learning resources. • Learning at home and in communities has to be reimagined if gains are to be achieved and losses are to be mitigated in the post-COVID 19 era. Learning loss is expected for millions of children who have been out of school as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, it is uncertain how much learning will be lost and how wide the gaps may be for disadvantaged children. This paper uses a unique longitudinal dataset to estimate learning loss during a three-month transition from Complementary Basic Education to government schools in Ghana. Our results show an average learning loss of 66 \% of previous learning gains in foundational numeracy during this transition period. More importantly, we estimate widening gaps in learning loss according to lack of home learning support, as well as lack of home learning resources. Our results have implications for the provision of learning activities and support at home, not just during current school closures due to COVID-19, but also during transitions between academic years.}, urldate = {2022-04-05}, journal = {International Journal of Educational Development}, author = {Sabates, Ricardo and Carter, Emma and Stern, Jonathan M.B.}, month = apr, year = {2021}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.1016/j.ijedudev.2021.102377 2339240:SQ7VK9VL 2405685:KHANG6IQ}, keywords = {BASIC education, CHILDREN with social disabilities, COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 school closure, EDUCATIONAL outcomes, Equity, Ghana, Learning, Literacy, Numeracy, SCHOOL closings}, pages = {102377}, } @article{sabates_school_2013, title = {School drop out in {Bangladesh}: insights using panel data}, volume = {33}, issn = {07380593}, shorttitle = {School drop out in {Bangladesh}}, url = {http://dspace.bracu.ac.bd/xmlui/handle/10361/7273}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijedudev.2012.09.007}, abstract = {This paper examines the relative strength of different factors associated with school drop out using data collected between 2007 and 2009 in Bangladesh. A sample of 9046 children, aged 4-15, was selected across six districts for a household survey focusing on children's school access and experiences. Two groups of children were identified: those who were enrolled in school in both 2007 and 2009 and those who dropped out by 2009. Using a multivariate logit model, results show age and gender, together with financial constraints, such as lack of income and school expenditure, as the top predictors of school drop out. Two other important predictors are lack of parental support for children's school work and school absenteeism. This paper identifies some possible interventions that could reduce school drop out. These include campaigns to reduce late entry and overage enrolment, reductions in direct costs of schooling, and more support for low achieving children to compensate for lack of educational support at home.}, language = {en}, number = {3}, urldate = {2021-10-25}, journal = {International Journal of Educational Development}, author = {Sabatés, Ricardo and Hossain, Altaf and Lewin, Keith M.}, year = {2013}, note = {Accepted: 2016-12-19T10:39:39Z Publisher: © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Citizen-led assessments have played a vital role in highlighting this "learning crisis." Having developed these citizen-led assessments, members of the People's Action for Learning (PAL) Network are now increasingly devising and implementing actions aimed at tackling the learning crisis in different country contexts. This article documents the process we undertook of developing theories of change with PAL Network members across 10 countries to inform their shift from assessment of children's learning to action aimed at raising learning outcomes. The article highlights, in particular, the importance for theories of change to take account of context in identifying appropriate actions. Based on their country circumstances, the actions identified by PAL Network members vary, for example, from using assessment data to influence national government reform, to more localized activities associated with "teaching at the right level." For appropriate actions to tackle the learning crisis to be identified and successfully implemented, an important lesson from the PAL Network experience is the need to enable South-to-South learning and adaptation. As such, the article highlights a pressing need for flexible and iterative theories of change that reflect contextual realities.}, language = {en}, number = {1}, urldate = {2020-12-01}, journal = {Global Education Review}, author = {Alcott, Benjamin and Rose, Pauline and Sabates, Ricardo and Ellison, Christine}, year = {2020}, note = {Publisher: Mercy College New York KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 2339240:ZRWHRI86 2405685:GZEXQEF6}, keywords = {Agency Cooperation, Change Strategies, Citizen Participation, Cultural Differences, Educational Assessment, Educational Change, Foreign Countries, Government Role, Low Income Groups, Middle Class, Networks, Parent Role, School Role, Socioeconomic Influences, Theories, ⛔ No DOI found}, pages = {6--19}, } @article{hennessy_technology_2020, title = {Technology in education in low-income countries: {Problem} analysis and focus of the {Hub}'s work}, shorttitle = {Technology in education in low-income countries}, url = {https://zenodo.org/record/3352007#.YGsY_RNKg1g}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.3352007}, abstract = {An output by the EdTech Hub - \#EdTechHub, https://edtechhub.org}, urldate = {2021-04-05}, author = {Hennessy, Sara and Jordan, Katy and Hassler, Bjoern and Hollow, David and Brugha, Meghan and Jamieson Eberhardt, Molly and Sabates, Ricardo}, month = jan, year = {2020}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.5281/zenodo.3352007 10/ghgnfz 2339240:EYQWGP5R 2405685:ZGFQHAS3}, }
