Young People’s Aspirations and Experiences of Schooling in Andhra Pradesh, India

Increasing rates of school enrolment have changed childhoods in the global South, so that it is now the norm for children to attend at least some years of primary school. This paper explores the extent to which valuing of children as educational projects and outcomes may be displacing previous valuations of children as contributors to the domestic economy.

Making Progress: Summary of the Young Lives School Survey in Vietnam

Achieving universal access to good quality basic education is a key priority for Vietnam, as it is for other rapidly developing countries. Improving educational opportunities may be expected to play a role in reducing economic and social inequalities. However, attending school is only one set of influences on a child's learning development, and even in an equitable education system, home background and contextual influences may perpetuate or widen differences in learning progress between more and less advantaged pupils.
