Imagine if we could close the gap in educational inequalities and ensure that every student has a fair chance at success. That is exactly what our team is working towards. Through a systematic review of longitudinal studies, we will uncover the most effective mechanisms and interventions to promote achievement and well-being in different educational contexts. We will also create a public metadata database to map existing longitudinal data, conduct analyses of public datasets to identify the best policies and interventions to address educational inequalities, and create a public framework for studying educational inequalities longitudinally in future studies, acknowledging the role of local contexts but aiming for comparability at the European level.
Work Packages
The project has seven interrelated work packages:
- WP1: Project management
- WP2: Literature review
- WP3: Framework for data mapping
- WP4: Data mapping and data management
- WP5: Effective interventions and policies
- WP6: Framework for future longitudinal studies
- WP7: Dissemination, exploitation, communication
University of Oslo is coordinating package number 2. In this package, we aim to conduct a systematic review to map and describe existing research on educational inequalities in K-12 students.
Project Coordination
Tampere University is coordinating and leading the project with researchers from several institutions in the field of large-scale education. The project involves experts from the University of Helsinki, the Finnish Education Evaluation Centre (FINEEC), the University of Gothenburg, the University of Szeged, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, and the University of Oslo.
