Development in K12 Education

The Development in K12 Education Initiative seeks to generate knowledge and contribute to the public discussion on policies that are relevant for children and teenagers in school age. The associates who are part of this initiative study how the educational system, the organization of schools, and the different actors with whom students interact at this stage of their lives shape their learning and more generally their trajectories in the short and long term.


  • School inputs and student achievement.

  • Organization of schools.

  • Peer effects in education.

  • Teachers.
