Qianyun Yu; Yang Song – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2024
Despite an extensive body of literature that has examined the role of museums in cultural reproduction and public education, most of the current discussion is western-centred. Whilst explorations of museum education in developing countries often focus on the institution, the agency perspective regarding how different social groups negotiate access…

The Indian government enacted the Right to Education Act (RTE) to provide free and compulsory elementary education to all economically underprivileged children between ages 6 and 14.

James, Brian K. – Online Submission, 2023
An ongoing struggle for affordable housing in Southern California has led many predominately White, middle, and upper middle- class families to seek home ownership in divested urban communities. This phenomenon, known as gentrification, can benefit a community by increasing property values, but often comes at a cost to longstanding, Black and…

Grace Cornell Gonzales – Language and Education, 2024
This study explores the experiences of middle-class transnational Latina mothers whose children are enrolled in gentrified dual-language programs. Drawing upon the theory of differential consciousness, I explored how these mothers' own complex identities informed their navigation of conflicting discourses that position dual-language education on…

Guangcai, Yan – Chinese Education & Society, 2020
From a historical perspective, it was only in the modern era that the academic profession was favored by the middle and upper classes who came to dominate it. This article shows that, in contemporary China, the pattern of the middle and upper classes dominating the academic profession results from their families having a good early education and…

Browne, Daniel – Wallace Foundation, 2022
Despite ample research evidence about the benefits of out-of-school-time (OST) programs, recent studies have revealed an increasing gap in access to and engagement in OST between youth from working-class and middle-class backgrounds. There are both immediate and long-term implications of this difference in high-quality program participation, as…

A Boost for the Middle Class: An Evaluation of No-Loan Policies and Elite Private College Enrollment
Rosinger, Kelly Ochs; Belasco, Andrew S.; Hearn, James C. – Journal of Higher Education, 2019
In response to goals of expanding access as well as public pressure to leverage substantial endowment resources toward increasing affordability, numerous elite colleges have enacted policies aimed at improving access and affordability by replacing student loans with grants in financial aid packages. No-loan policies, however, differ in the extent…

Institute for College Access & Success, 2023
State need-based financial aid programs are a key driver of college access and completion for lower-income students and racially marginalized students in California, most of whom attend public two- and four-year colleges and universities and come from families with annual incomes of less than $40,000. As the state's largest need-based financial…

Temin, Miriam; Heck, Craig – Population Council, 2021
Programs increasingly use community-based girl groups (CBGGs) to address risks and empower adolescent girls, but evidence on their impact is not always accessible to decision makers. A closer look at 30 CBGG programs in low- and middle-income countries found that CBGGs had the greatest reported success in improving health and gender attitudes and…

Bonal, Xavier – UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning, 2019
The concentration of social groups in certain geographic areas and institutions is not a new phenomenon, but since the current migration crisis, one of the world's largest since the end of the Second World War, it has reached an unprecedented level. This poses important challenges to many education systems: the arrival of newcomers often leads to…

Reber, Sarah; Sinclair, Chenoah – Brookings Institution, 2020
Inequality in the United States has been rising in recent decades, while intergenerational mobility remains low. This means that absolute mobility--the extent to which children are economically better off than their parents--is declining, and intergenerational inequality is increasingly entrenched. A long literature suggests large returns to…

Eden, Max – Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, 2021
Expanded public subsidies for child care and prekindergarten command solid bipartisan support. According to recent polling, two-thirds of Republicans and nearly nine out of 10 Democrats would like to see Congress increase federal investment in early education. At the state level, public investment and student enrollment in prekindergarten…

Gupta, Achala – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2020
The heterogeneity of the contemporary Indian middle-class has been discussed widely. However, the effect of its internal differences on the distribution of educational resources needs to be examined systematically. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with parents in 53 middle-class families in Dehradun, India, this paper explores three aspects of the…

Kapur, Devesh, Ed.; Kong, Lily, Ed.; Lo, Florence, Ed.; Malone, David M., Ed. – Oxford University Press, 2023
Since the turn of the millennium it has become clear that the Asia-Pacific Region is, economically, the fastest growing continent in the world, and is likely to remain so for some time despite the setbacks of the COVID-19 pandemic. Asia-Pacific's share of the world's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) doubled from 15 per cent to 30 per cent between 1970…

Catt, Drew – EdChoice, 2019
In November 2018, EdChoice and ExcelinEd administered a first-of-its-kind survey of Florida private school leaders. The survey results demonstrate three things: (1) private schools in Florida are affordable; (2) they have the capacity to serve many more students; and (3) capacity could be further expanded if more tuition assistance was made…
