Amita Chudgar on "Who teaches marginalized children, and what may explain these teacher distribution patterns? Analysis of data from Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa"

Professor Chudgar's study represents the most systematic cross-national analysis of teacher distribution that has been conducted to date. She will also provide insights into policies and practices that may help ensure a more equitable teacher distribution, and address the vicious cycle that can develop—especially in developing countries—when higher-quality teachers are concentrated in the schools and classrooms of wealthier children, while poor and marginalized children find themselves in the classrooms of relatively weaker teachers.
