MENESES, Karla; YANEZ, Andrea; LEON, Jennyfer y AGUIRRE, Kamila. Effective schools: basic education in Ecuador. Prob. Des [online]. 2021, vol.52, n.207, pp.79-106. Epub 07-Mar-2022. ISSN 0301-7036. https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2021.207.69726.
This article examines how effective education institutions improve educational achievement, regardless of students' socioeconomic backgrounds. The paper utilizes a multilevel model using data from the Third Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (TERCE) for Ecuadorian students in reading and mathematics. Findings show that between 31 and 52% of the variation in test results is due to differences between schools, thus underlining the importance of the compensatory effect of schools in promoting equality of opportunity.
