This resource is intended to improve accessibility and understanding and does not replace the original publication.
Despite numerous policy initiatives, educational inequalities continue to persist across and within European countries. A systematic literature review, encompassing 157 studies published between 1995 and 2024, aimed to identify and categorize factors and predictors contributing to these inequalities in European primary and secondary schools, specifically utilizing longitudinal or repeated cross-sectional designs.
Why it matters
The persistence of educational inequalities, despite concerted policy efforts, represents a significant societal and economic challenge across Europe. Understanding the underlying factors and predictors, particularly through longitudinal analysis, is critical for developing more effective and sustainable interventions to foster equitable and inclusive societies.
Key insights
- Educational inequalities are a persistent challenge across European primary and secondary education systems.
- Existing policy initiatives have not fully addressed these inequalities.
- The review systematically identified and categorized variables contributing to these disparities.
- The analysis focused on studies employing longitudinal or repeated cross-sectional designs, indicating an emphasis on dynamic factors over time.
- The research covered a broad range of studies (157) from 1995 to 2024, across seven languages, suggesting comprehensive coverage of academic literature.
