Overview

Beyond the important role of schools, there are many further determinants of educational outcomes. Mentoring is an important approach to improve the labor-market prospects of disadvantaged adolescents. As deeper determinants of educational inputs, the intertemporal cultural factors patience and risk-taking are fundamental to international differences in student achievement. The Covid school closures appear to have hit low-achieving students particularly hard.
