These schools opened up alternative pathways to the university-entrance certificate, which traditionally could only be obtained at academic-track schools. We use administrative records to compile a county-level panel of school supply and attainment for 13 cohorts between 1995 and 2007. Cross-sectionally, the supplies of all three school types awarding the university-entrance certificate correlate positively with its attainment. However, for academic-track and comprehensive schools this association is not robust to the inclusion of regional controls, suggesting that it reflects regional differences in educational demand rather than supply-side effects. For vocational high schools, in contrast, we find robust evidence for positive attainment effects not only in cross-sectional and two-way fixed-effects panel regressions, but also in an event-study design that exploits the quasi-random timing of new school openings. Likely reasons for their success are that they lower the (perceived) costs of educational upgrading for late-bloomers, and their hybrid curriculum, which may retain students in general schooling who would otherwise enter vocational training.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48261,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Education Review","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 102608"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper demonstrates that, even when controlling for specific components of the same evaluation surveys, students tend to give lower overall ratings to female instructors compared to their male counterparts. Importantly, on popular rating platforms used by students, the average overall ratings are more prominently displayed than the detailed components of these evaluations. To explore the potential implications of this, we analyze data from two widely used teaching evaluation tools at a U.S. public research university: the online platform <span><span>RateMyProfessors.com</span><svg><path></path></svg></span> (RMP) and official university-conducted evaluations. By merging RMP ratings, official evaluations, and course enrollment data, we find that RMP’s overall quality ratings have a greater influence on course enrollment than official evaluations, particularly affecting the enrollment decisions of female students. Additionally, our analysis reveals that conditional on all of these evaluations, male students have lower enrollment rates in the sections of the same courses offered by female instructors even when accounting for the average grades in these courses from previous semesters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48261,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Education Review","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 102617"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis reveals a 3.7% decline in the probability of re-enrollment for the subsequent academic year among the first cohort affected by the pandemic. This effect is particularly pronounced among students entering university, as well as among non-free lunch students, international students, and male students. The medium-term analysis indicates that the pandemic led to a significant shift in enrollment behaviors, decreasing the likelihood of enrolling in subsequent years and reducing graduation rates two years after the pandemic. Moreover, we find that exposure to stricter lockdown policies led to a 3.8% decrease in enrollment behaviors. We investigate three potential mechanisms: (i) exposure to the pandemic, (ii) labor market opportunities, and (iii) university quality. However, we find little evidence to support that these factors are significantly associated with changes in enrollment behaviors. These findings contribute to our understanding of the disruptive consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on students’ educational trajectories and highlight its lasting impact on enrollment behaviors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48261,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Education Review","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 102604"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from two randomised controlled trials conducted in rural Bangladesh during the Covid-19 pandemic, we examine two interventions: 1) Telementoring, where volunteers mentored mothers and tutored children over the phone; and 2) IVR Audio-lessons, where mothers accessed pre-recorded audio lessons for their children via a toll-free number. The Telementoring program significantly increased mothers’ authoritative parenting scores by 0.53 SD, while the IVR Audio-lesson program led to a 0.24 SD increase. Mediation analyses suggest that changes in parenting style accounted for 0.03 SD and 0.04 SD increase in children's test scores, or mediated 4 % and 8 % of the total intervention effect on children's test scores for Telementoring and IVR Audio-lessons, respectively. The findings underscore the potential of scalable and cost-effective phone-based interventions to enhance parental roles and foster children's human capital development in low-resource settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48261,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Education Review","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 102623"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143133513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
