Educational Production in East Asia: The Impact of Family Background and Schooling Policies on Student Performance Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Ludger Wößmann
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
East Asian students regularly take top positions in international league tables of educational performance. Using internationally comparable student-level data, I estimate how family background and schooling policies affect student performance in five high-performing East Asian economies. Family background is a strong predictor of student performance in Korea and Singapore, while Hong Kong and Thailand achieve more equalized outcomes. There is no evidence that smaller classes improve student performance in East Asia. But other schooling policies such as school autonomy over salaries and regular homework assignments are related to higher student performance in several of the considered countries.
