Book Synopsis Improving a Country’s Education by : Nuno Crato
Download or read book Improving a Country’s Education written by Nuno Crato and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book compares and contrasts the results of international student assessments in ten countries. The OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) released the results of its 2018 assessment in December 2019. This book reflects the debates that typically follow the release of these results and focuses on the causes of differences between countries. Such causes include continuous decline in one country, improvement combined with increasing internal inequalities in another country, or rapid improvement in spite of an outdated curriculum in yet another. In addition, the book discusses a number of general questions: Is knowledge outdated? Are computers taking over and replacing teachers? Are schools killing creativity? Are we adequately preparing the next generation? Are schools failing to educate our kids? The book starts out with a summary of PISA’s evolution and PISA results, and an explanation of the major factors that play a role in changes in countries’ results. The next ten chapters are devoted to ten specific countries, offering a summary of data and an explanation of the major drives for changes in education results for each one. Each chapter includes a short description of the country’s educational system as well as the impact of PISA and other ILSA studies on the country’s educational policies. The chapters also include a timeline of policy measures and main hallmarks of the country’s educational evolution, discussing the impact of these measures on its PISA results. A final reference chapter explains what PISA is, what it measures and how. While highlighting the 2018 results, the book also takes into consideration previous results, as well as long-term initiatives. This book gathers the contribution of well-known and respected experts in the field. Specialists such as Eric Hanushek, for the US, Tim Oates, for England, Montse Gomendio, for Spain, Gunda Tire, for Estonia, and all other contributors draw on their vast experience and statistical analysis expertise to draw a set of rich country lessons and recommendations that are invaluable for all of those who care about improving a country’s education system.

Book Synopsis Lessons from Estonia’s Education Success Story by : Peeter Mehisto
Download or read book Lessons from Estonia’s Education Success Story written by Peeter Mehisto and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how Estonia, despite high levels of poverty, has transformed its education system to become Europe’s top performer on PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment). The engaging narrative uncovers reforms, mistakes and lessons learnt that have been harnessed to create a high-performing, high-equity education system, which includes social and education policies fostering equity, inclusion, learner autonomy, as well as schoolteacher and principal professionalism, autonomy and responsibility. It unearths how easy access to a wide range of data such as perceptions of well-being, autonomy and connectedness, in addition to examination results, builds internal and external accountability, and contributes to collective stakeholder efficacy. Grounded in research from Estonia and beyond, this is an ideal read for educators, administrators, academics, university students, change agents and parents interested in school system improvement. As equity, equality and inclusion are core drivers of the Estonian education system, this book would also be of interest to those working in social justice, inclusion and diversity.

Book excerpt: From an international comparative perspective, this third book in the prestigious eduLIFE Lifelong Learning series provides a thorough investigation into how social inequalities arise during individuals’ secondary schooling careers. Paying particular attention to the role of social origin and prior performance, it focuses on tracking and differentiation in secondary schooling examining the short- and long-term effects on inequality of opportunities.

Book Synopsis Study on Supporting School Innovation Across Europe by :
Download or read book Study on Supporting School Innovation Across Europe written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Estonian school system comprises of a non-compulsory kindergarten (ages 1.5-7), the compulsory basic school (years 1-9) and the non-compulsory upper secondary school, called "gymnasium" or "secondary school" (years 10-12). While gymnasiums primarily prepare students for higher education, vocational schools offer a practical alternative education for students after either basic school or gymnasium. Depending on the programme, vocational education can simultaneously offer secondary education or even be geared towards students without basic education. Practical training at a workplace is also one form of vocational education. The general education is offered in primary schools (years 1-6), basic schools (years 1-9) or gymnasiums (years 10-12). However, the most common type of school in Estonia is a full-cycle gymnasium with years 1-12 where students are aged 7-19. In the period 2005-2008, Ida-Virumaa was one of the most problematic regions in the country for dropouts at years 7-10 (IVEK, 2009, 31). In 2005, 46% of the national dropouts came from Ida-Virumaa. Although the rate fell in 2008 to 27% it was still higher than the national average. In 2008, there were 36 students dropping out from the Ida-Virumaa county, from a national total of 131 students. However, the situation has much improved since then. Nationally, the dropout rate from basic schools was 0.5% (ca 150-200 students) in 2014 and 1.1% from gymnasiums. The highest drop-out rate in 2014 was in vocational education with 25.6% (Ministry of Education and Research, 2015, 17). In comparison, the percentage of students who did not continue their education after basic school was in 2015 slightly higher in Jõgevamaa (5%) than in Ida-Virumaa (3%) (HaridusSilm, 2015). Jõgeva is a small town with 5,418 habitants and three schools: Jõgeva Basic School (years 1-9), Jõgevamaa Gymnasium (years 10-12) and the Adult Secondary School (years 8-12). Jõgevamaa is not the poorest region of Estonia, but in comparison with the 15 counties, Jõgevamaa county has one of the lowest average salaries in the country: 800-845 Euros gross salary per month in 2015, versus 1,185 euros in Tallinn (Statistics Estonia 2016). Jõgevamaa county ranks fourth from the lowest based on the relative poverty index (31% of the population), and first based on absolute poverty (12%), with the biggest percentage of people living in deep poverty. Single parents are at the greatest poverty risk, followed by single persons, mainly elderly, and families with many children (Statistics Estonia 2014). The unemployment rate in Jõgevamaa county is not high, (approximately 7%) but the participation rate in employment market is below the national average (Statistics Estonia 2016, p. 17). Jõgevamaa Gymnasium is located close to the town centre in a recently renovated school building. It is one of the three upper secondary schools in the county and the only one that specialises in upper secondary education (forms 10-12). The school has students from other parts of the county as well as neighbouring counties. The county of Jõgevamaa is certainly representative of other relatively disadvantaged regions. While the population of Jõgeva have income from various sources such as retailing, service and lumber industry, Kiviõli is predominantly a mining town in the North-East of Estonia, also with less than 6,000 habitants. As part of the Ida-Virumaa county, it is the most socially deprived area in Estonia. The local population are heavily dependent on the oil shale mining and chemical industry represented by three companies: Kiviõli Keemiatööstus, Viru Keemiagrupp and Eesti Energia. Due to the low oil prices on the global market, these companies have recently laid off hundreds of workers. There is also a high concentration of people with a migrant/minority background, since 62% of the population in the county of Ida-Virumaa are not ethnic Estonians. Most of them came in from the 1960s onwards from Russia and other former USSR countries to work in Ida- Virumaa as industrial workers. The unemployment rate of Ida-Virumaa was the highest in the country at 13.3% in 2013-2015 while the average salary was at the same level as in most counties outside of the two largest towns, Tallinn and Tartu, ranging 850-919 euros per month (Statistics Estonia, 2016). Within the town limits of Kiviõli is located one of the largest artificial hills composed of the waste of oil shale processing and now being used as an adventure park, winter sports centre and motocross track. There are two schools in Kiviõli: Kiviõli Russian School (years 1-9) and the Estonian speaking Kiviõli I Secondary School (years 1-12) which is a 20-minute walk from the city centre.
