Young Lives presented a panel of three papers ? on different aspects of children?s school outcomes in Ethiopia, in Peru, and in India and Vietnam ? at the Congress of the World Council of Comparative Education Societies in Buenos Aires on 25 June 2013.
The three presentations by Santiago Cueto, Angela Little and Caine Rolleston looked at school quality, opportunities to learn, and classroom practice through analysis of the unique Young Lives school survey data. The conference attracts a wide inter-disciplinary audience of researchers, policymakers and practitioners, whose questions and comments at the panel session fed into debate around comparative education methodology and the implications of large differences in school quality accessed by more and less advantaged pupils and between education systems in different countries. Perhaps because of the large South American contingent among the audience, particular attention was drawn to educational issues in the context of Peru. More generally, debates at the conference centred around the development of new learning goals and metrics for the post-2015 period, including a critical focus on globalisation and on the liberalisation and privatisation of education in less-developed countries.
