If you are a platform provider dealing with high dropout rates among disadvantaged youth — this project developed a multi-level analysis of learning outcomes that helps identify the specific socio-economic barriers preventing student success.
Analyzing Educational Success Factors to Improve Youth Workforce Readiness and Social Mobility
Imagine trying to figure out why some students thrive while others struggle, even with the same teachers. It's like looking at a puzzle where the pieces are a person's home, their neighborhood, and their personal history. This work maps those pieces across eight countries to find better ways to help every young person succeed.
What needed solving
Companies struggle to find and retain talent from multi-disadvantaged backgrounds due to a lack of understanding of the systemic barriers that cause educational underachievement.
What was built
A multi-level analysis of learning outcomes and a set of participatory strategies for local policy innovation. This includes 19 submitted reports and completed expert surveys.
Who needs this
