Longitudinal Educational Achievements: Reducing Inequalities (LEARN) Project Paula Sergeant from Manchester Metropolitan University and Doris Hanappi from University of Zurich present the Longitudinal Educational Achievements: Reducing Inequalities (LEARN) Project. Europe is home to some of the most highly educated societies in the world. However, deep inequalities in education remain both within and between countries in Europe. In 2018, the World Bank released a report which showed that socio-economic inequalities in learning outcomes, access to education and final educational attainment in Europe have been worsening since 2000. A 2018 report from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) noted wide disparities in maths and reading within many European countries, between the highest and lowest levels of students’ socio-economic background.
Sergeant et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
