From the synapses that form in the brain to the dynamics of a classroom, to large networks of schools and education systems, the activity and structure of education is defined by connectivity, interaction, and interdependence: key features of complexity and complex adaptive systems. This book uses principles from research on systems and complexity in order to better understand the Global Learning Crisis. This chapter presents a brief review of research on complexity, considering primary education as a complex adaptive system, and also describes how complexity research suggests a mixed methods approach and other methodological strategies.","PeriodicalId":142356,"journal":{"name":"Access, Quality, and the Global Learning Crisis","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114020480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, primary education in many ways reflects the society in which it takes place. For these reasons, it is useful to consider the Ugandan context in order to consider its experience with primary education and its position as a case study. This chapter offers some details and background to help frame the Ugandan context, intending to serve as a brief sketch of the issues that define the population of children served by Uganda’s primary education and the factors that influence and define that education. The chapter also includes a basic description of the sample, data, and methods of analysis used in the empirical analysis throughout the book.","PeriodicalId":142356,"journal":{"name":"Access, Quality, and the Global Learning Crisis","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129605694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, “low-cost” or “low-fee” private primary schools has received a lot of attention. The crux of the issue can be described in terms of access and quality. The promise of the private sector is that it could provide a higher-quality alternative to public education, and one that might be more cost-effective. The threat of the private sector is that it might deepen educational inequality, providing access to quality education for only some children and potentially making education worse for others. This chapter reviews some of the research on the subject and then analyzes transfer to private primary schools, comparing the educational experience of children in these schools with that of children in the government schools from which they transferred. Analysis accordingly aligns with questions of access (what predicts transfer to private school) and quality (what differences (or similarities) exist between government and private primary schools).","PeriodicalId":142356,"journal":{"name":"Access, Quality, and the Global Learning Crisis","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132795787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The terms are particularly ubiquitous in the field of international education, where over the past two decades they have been used to categorize both the challenges facing the Education for All movement and the work to address them. This chapter analyzes how these terms have been defined and used in the international education literature, and in particular focuses on understanding the connection between them. The discourse often presents access to education and education quality as either independent or competing concerns and uses them to explain the Global Learning Crisis. The chapter reviews evidence on the association between access and quality, laying the foundation for this theme to continue throughout the book.","PeriodicalId":142356,"journal":{"name":"Access, Quality, and the Global Learning Crisis","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114226372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, grade repetition is coupled with a second concern: early school dropout. Together, they are believed represent a constraint upon access to education—preventing children from progressing through school. On the other hand, repetition often intends to emphasize standards and enforce the quality of education. In this way, the issue of grade repetition represents the possible tension between access and quality, but methodological challenges associated with the study of repetition make it difficult to draw any definitive conclusions. This chapter investigates the association between repeating a grade and dropping out of school, the defining theme of existing literature on repetition in low-income countries. Empirical analysis in the sample of Ugandan schools brings to light two other concerns: age of entry into primary school and language of instruction.","PeriodicalId":142356,"journal":{"name":"Access, Quality, and the Global Learning Crisis","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122887099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implementing its Universal Primary Education Policy in 1997, Uganda was the third country in sub-Saharan Africa to do so. School fee abolition is typically understood along a single dimension: access. Any cost associated with attending school is seen as discouraging access; conversely, efforts to reduce costs are seen as improving access. Little to no research has investigated the connection to quality. In this chapter, analyzing a school savings program presents the opportunity to investigate how an intervention that encouraged the payment of school fees relates to both access and quality. Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial and research questions on mediation and moderation are used to explore this issue.","PeriodicalId":142356,"journal":{"name":"Access, Quality, and the Global Learning Crisis","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124892198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This concluding chapter reviews the results of this empirical research and advances the conclusion that there does not have to be a trade-off between efforts to improve access to education and efforts to improve education quality: there can be a positive association between the two. This finding can be used to inform how the Global Learning Crisis is defined and addressed. In addition, it can be seen as an example of research on complexity. This chapter emphasizes the importance of viewing primary education as a complex adaptive system, and offers some insights into education systems and complexity.","PeriodicalId":142356,"journal":{"name":"Access, Quality, and the Global Learning Crisis","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115147645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
