The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted education worldwide, magnifying existing socioeconomic disadvantages. This narrative review utilized the SANRA--a scale for the quality assessment of narrative review articles to examine 20 articles from the past six years to explore the impacts of the shift to online learning, especially for children from…

Analysis of different forms of tracking reveal that they correlate with differences of pupils' SES and reproduce inequalities. Against this background, this paper examines the concepts of education and the 'virtual social identities' -- or visions what the individual pupil should be -- in school policy.. This is done by analysing and comparing…

The alternative learning system senior high school (ALS SHS) practiced flexible learning as its learning modality to give more opportunities and convenience making the program more inclusive and responsive to learners' needs. It also ensures that learners adhere to instructional competence and self-regulated learning (SRL). However, there is a…

The U.S. is facing a skills shortage brought on by an aging population approaching retirement and a shortfall in the number of young workers with the educational attainment needed to meet labor-market demands. This report explores what is causing the skills shortage and details how the shortage of workers with education and training beyond high…

Research suggests that elementary school absenteeism can contribute to deficits in achievement. It is less clear how the timing and growth in rates of attendance shape early elementary school achievement. The present study examined the role of absenteeism in pre-K and early elementary school in the context of third-grade achievement, along with…

Associations have been observed between socioeconomic status (SES) and language outcomes from early childhood, but individual variability is high. Exposure to high levels of stress, often associated with low-SES status, might influence how parents and infants interact within the early language environment. Differences in these early language…

Early spatial skills predict the development of later spatial and mathematical skills. Yet, it is unclear how comprehension of the words that capture spatial relations, words like behind and under, might be associated with children's early spatial and mathematics skills. The current study addressed this question by conducting a moderated mediation…

The transaction of children's core language skill and their home learning environment was assessed across 5 waves from infancy (15 months) up to adolescence (11 years) in 1,751 low-socioeconomic status families. Child core language skill and the quality of the home learning environment were each stable across waves, and the two covaried at each…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to calculate gender and socioeconomic status (SES) inequalities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Greater Glasgow and Clyde and measure the proportion of inequalities explained by smoking. Design/methodology/approach: Medical records until May 2016 were linked to mortality data to measure COPD…

This study investigated the effects of the Continuous Assessment and Progression System (CAPS) on grade repetition and dropout rates as a function of household socio-economic status (SES). Participants attended five schools in urban Myanmar and were classified into three SES groups. Results showed unequal CAPS effects: the middle SES group…

Young people's wellbeing is often lowest where they assume a relatively low position within their school's socioeconomic hierarchy, for example, among poorer children attending more affluent schools. Transition to secondary school is a period during which young people typically enter an environment which is more socioeconomically diverse than…

The widely and internationally replicated socioeconomic status (SES) gradient of executive function (EF) implies that intervention approaches may do well to extrapolate conditions and practices from contexts that generate better child outcomes (in this case, higher SES circumstances) and translate these to contexts with comparatively poorer…

Purpose: This paper aims to analyse the effect of financial learning quality (FLQ) and parental socioeconomic status (SES) on the financial self-efficacy (FSE) of undergraduate Accounting students in Bali with students' financial literacy (FL) serving a mediator. Design/methodology/approach: This research used a quantitative design with ex post…

Students with intellectual disabilities (ID) often experience difficulties in their peer relationships at school. Although a broad knowledge base on peer relationships in inclusive classrooms exists, much less is known about peer relationships in special needs classrooms. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on peer relationships in…

Sociometrically neglected children are not often liked and not often disliked by their peers. This kind of social information is known as social status. Evidence concerning internalizing behaviour of neglected children is as yet equivocal. Contradictory research results could possibly be attributed to methodological issues of social status…
