RIVAF research: "Impact of the financial crisis on education in selected developing countries"
Findings from previous research suggest that the economic crisis is widening inequalities in education. This specific study will generate further information that provides micro-level insights into the implications of the global economic crisis for education among vulnerable populations in affected developing countries. It will assess how the economic slowdown, budget cuts and reduced incomes are affecting the day-to-day provision and participation in education, and reveal how schools and households are coping with the effects of the crisis.
A representative sample of ten low and lower-middle income countries will be included in the research project:
- Mauritania and Jordan;
- Armenia and Maldives;
- Ukraine;
- Mexico and Paraguay;
- Botswana, Madagascar and Chad.
