Using an online survey distributed to graduates from four state and three private universities, data was collected from 405 respondents. The findings indicate that the desire to study at a world-class university, aspirations for an international career, and perceptions of the current economic situation significantly drive migration intentions. Social capital and political perceptions negatively correlate with migration intentions, suggesting that strong domestic networks and dissatisfaction with governance may reduce, rather than increase, the likelihood of migration. Although family influence was not statistically significant, it was included in the extended analysis. The study identifies gender-based differences, with female graduates more likely to express migration intentions than males. Gender-disaggregated analysis shows that political perceptions and social capital significantly influence male graduates, while educational aspirations and economic concerns are stronger predictors among female graduates. The results highlight the dominant role of career-related aspirations and economic conditions in shaping migration decisions. While traditional push factors such as economic hardship are relevant, the influence of educational aspirations and cultural expectations suggests that migration is also driven by broader social and professional ambitions. The gender disparity in migration intentions underscores the need to examine how labour market conditions and social norms differently affect male and female graduates. These findings emphasize the importance of enhancing local career opportunities, improving higher education standards, and addressing labour market mismatches to manage graduate migration trends.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48004,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Development","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 103285"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143879110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research results from all over the world are utilized to shape educational practices and inform reforms. In post-Soviet countries, however, the need for evidence is at odds with a limited understanding of the availability and quality of data suitable for such purposes. The current meta-analysis addresses this gap by systematizing the results of experimental research aimed at improving student achievement in the post-Soviet space. To achieve this, we searched four databases and screened 1022 publications, identifying 41 studies relevant for analysis. The evaluation of the studies using a multi-level meta-analysis model (MLMA) showed that interventions analyzed had a positive and extremely high effect on student achievement (ES = 0.78), which contradicts similar work from other countries. At the same time at least two of the five methods employed in the study to evaluate publication bias proved its presence. Overall, the results of the systematic review indicate that the research available to date can hardly serve as a basis for evidence-based educational reform. The quality of the majority of experimental studies in the region highlights the need for future research into institutional factors that hinder the development of this type of studies. Recommendations were provided for authors and journals to improve the quality of experimental research and advance evidence-based approach in the region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48004,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Development","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 103274"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143881357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A standard DEM-test was administered to 399 school-aged children (6–11 years) in Martinique, alongside reading accuracy and fluency assessments using the Alouette test. Based on our recent norms established from a sizeable school-based cohort in mainland France, we identified nearly fifty percent of the children in Martinique screened as at risk for reading problems. This finding confirmed the critical need for large-scale implementation of early screening measures for at-risk children in these geographic areas during their initial years of formal education. We also demonstrated that the DEM test could be a valuable first-line tool across numerous countries and socio-cultural contexts.

The findings reveal that education improves women’s reproductive autonomy by increasing contraceptive uptake and reducing unwanted pregnancies. Furthermore, education improves exposure to family planning information through mass media and healthcare facilities, further facilitating informed reproductive choices. Besides, the effects are not evenly distributed—women in rural areas, from low-income households, or with less educated spouses benefit less from education, pointing to persistent structural inequalities. These results contribute to public policy debates by providing robust evidence that investments in women’s education are a powerful lever for improving reproductive health outcomes, but must be paired with targeted interventions to ensure that gains are equitably shared across socio-economic groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48004,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Development","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 103287"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
