Project description
Usign longitudinal data to tackle inequalities in education
Educational opportunities for children should be of high quality and equal. Despite improvements, available data indicate that inequalities continue to be pervasive across Europe. The EU-funded LINEup project is based on a mixed-method approach focusing on the role of longitudinal data. The project aims to understand what schools can do to keep their students engaged, meet their needs and reduce inequalities in the short, medium and long run. The main objective is to map and analyse the research design and findings of existing longitudinal data on students’ learning outcomes at primary and secondary level. In line with the European Education Area and the Council Recommendation on Pathways to School Success, the project focuses on achievement and attainment of basic skills.
Objective
LINEup aims at identifying key success factors for quality education for all, by mapping and analysing the research design and findings of existing longitudinal data on students’ learning outcomes at primary and secondary level (6-18 year-old students). Considering that 2023 is the European Year of Skills and in line with the objectives of the European Education Area and Council Recommendation on Pathways to School Success, the project focuses on achievement and attainment of basic skills.
LINEup is based on a comprehensive desk research aiming at collecting, analysing and summarizing data that allow assessing inequalities in education over time in 31 countries, and with a particular focus on Southern and Western Europe. Part of the activities are dedicated to understand to what extent different databases can be made directly comparable and deliver a feasibility study that brings innovation to the research community interested in comparative longitudinal analysis. A qualitative research in project countries complements the mapping to gather primary data on the implementation process and impact of possible compensatory interventions. In line with the findings of recent longitudinal studies, the objective is to further investigate what schools can do to keep their students engaged, meet their characteristics and needs, and reduce inequalities in the short, medium and long run.
LINEup will contribute to expand the knowledge base on what shapes educational outcomes over time and on student-centred interventions aiming at lifting the performance in basic skills and reducing early leaving from education and training, which are a key challenge across Europe. Attention will be dedicated to cooperating with national authorities of the participating countries to identify and access longitudinal data and other administrative sources, and to validate and disseminate the results at European, national and local level for a more supportive and equitable school environment.
