摘要

我们利用南非一所公立大学的申请和入学数据，研究了与大流行病相关的学校关闭对十二年级学习的影响。利用差分估算策略，我们发现了 2020 年离校资格证书学习损失的提示性证据，这些损失主要集中在成绩较差的申请者身上。我们还发现，数学成绩较差的申请者与成绩较好的申请者之间的成绩差距越来越大。与 2021 年入学但在 2020 年之前高中毕业的学生相比，2020 年高中毕业生在 2021 年进入大学的平均学分绩点更低，这进一步反映了学习损失。

Consequences of secondary school closures for learning in South Africa: Evidence from university application and enrolment data

We investigate the consequences of pandemic-related school closures on twelfth grade learning, leveraging university application and enrolment data from a selective public university in South Africa. Using difference-in-difference estimation strategies, we find suggestive evidence of learning losses in the school-leaving qualification in 2020, concentrated among lower achieving applicants. We also find a growing achievement gap between lower and higher performing applicants in mathematics. Losses are further reflected in a lower Grade Point Average among 2020 high school graduates who enrolled in university in 2021, compared to those who enrolled in 2021 but graduated high school before 2020.

期刊介绍： The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
