🎙️ New Episode (#Ep.6) – BRIDGE - Horizon Europe Project Podcast Series Our sixth episode is now live, focusing on how targeted school funding can support disadvantaged students in reaching their full potential: “The effect of funding for disadvantaged students on academic underachievement” Based on research by Oleg Badunenko, Deni Mazrekaj, Subal Kumbhakar, and Kristof De Witte, this episode examines targeted funding for disadvantaged pupils in Flemish primary education. Schools with at least 10% disadvantaged students receive additional resources, but does this funding improve educational outcomes? Using longitudinal data and combining Regression Discontinuity Design with Stochastic Frontier Analysis, the study looks not only at average achievement, but also at academic underachievement. 🔉 Listen to the #podcast here: https://lnkd.in/eHnpKkGG 📃 Full Policy Brief: https://lnkd.in/e29-CYA2 🔗 Visit our website for more insights: https://lnkd.in/e7KhvbqS KU Leuven, Faculty of Economics and Business, KU Leuven, Brunel University of London, Maastricht University, Schoolmakers, Research Centrum voor Onderwijs en Arbeidsmarkt (ROA), European Research Executive Agency (REA), POLIMI Graduate School of Management, Estonian Business School, Mattice Venken, Kristof De Witte, Enzo Peeters, Dieter Verhaest, Hannelore Nelissen, Lynn van Vugt, Carla Haelermans, Trudie Schils, Jeanne Olla, Chayenne Smeets, Tommaso Agasisti, Melisa Diaz Lema, Lidia Rossi, Oleg Badunenko, Adaku Jennifer Agwunobi, PhD, Triin Lauri, Kaire Põder, Andre Veski, Niveditha Prabakaran, Faisal Mohammed, VETprep, NEXT-UP Project, EDU-LAB.
