Summary: | This book gathers in one volume all the
information related to Automated DEC [Development Economics
- Vice Presidency at the World Bank] Poverty Tables (ADePT)
Edu, the software platform created by the World Bank for
reporting and analyzing education indicators and education
inequality. It includes a primer on the availability of
education data, an operating manual for using the ADePT
software, a technical explanation of all the education
indicators ADePT generates, and an overview of global
education inequality using ADePT Edu. Chapter one is an
introduction to ADePT Edu. It describes its origin and
intended use and familiarizes readers with educational
statistics. Chapter two is intended for users unfamiliar
with the different datasets that contain education
statistics and household-level data that contain information
on education. Chapter three is a step-by-step technical
guide for potential users. In addition to identifying the
hardware and operating system requirements, it provides
graphic examples of each of the steps needed to install and
operate the software. Chapter four describes the outputs of
ADePT and the definitions of all the indicators it
generates. Chapter five provides a global and regional
overview of education inequality, using ADePT Edu outputs
obtained from household survey data. It analyzes inequality
in school participation, progression, and attainment.
Chapter 5 also illustrates how ADePT Edu can be used to
readily analyze data from any household survey, a feature
that makes this software unique. The analysis of education
inequality serves as a backdrop for the potential use of
household surveys for analyzing the demand side of education. |
