Data-Driven Strategies to Improve Education Quality and Training Efficiency

digitalPrototypeTRL 2Thin data (2/5)

Imagine trying to fix a leaky pipe without knowing where the holes are; that is how some education systems currently spend money. This work uses a mix of psychology and economics to find exactly where teaching fails and where it succeeds. It's like a health check for schools to make sure every student, regardless of their background, gets the best possible start.
