Author: Jorge Cimentada Abstract:
Jorge Cimentada paper discusses a very interesting issue about education and the promotion of inequality. The paper relies on cross-national data (PISA), which significantly widens the impact and relevance of its findings, making use of methodologically sophisticated analyses that also include statistical simulations that are informative, and provides detailed methodological and theoretical advances for a better understanding and measurement of the SES achievement gap.
