| Description |
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, 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. This report provides new evidence on these issues from Young Lives – a longitudinal study of childhood poverty following the lives of 12,000 children in Ethiopia, India (in the state of Andhra Pradesh), Peru and Vietnam over 15 years (www.younglives.org.uk). |
