“Beyond the Fence: Research, Policy, and the US Southwest Border”

Last week I heard Professor @M_Clem give this keynote address at the seminar for the HUMANS LACEA (@VoxLACEA) Network, co-organized by @the_IDB and the @WorldBank. Here are a few takeaways. 🧵 Image
The number of people arriving at the U.S.’s southwest border has risen sharply since 2020. There are 3 broad approaches to addressing: just enforce the law, induce “development” in sending countries, & improve legal channels for immigration. What does research tell us about each? Image
First approach: what about just enforcing the law (i.e., detaining and deporting people who enter without authorization, strengthening walls)?

Many educational interventions boost outcomes for girls, but which of those interventions are proven to function effectively at large scale? “Girls’ Education at Scale,” now out in the World Bank Research Observer, explores this. academic.oup.com/wbro/advance-a… 🧵 Image
We identify interventions that benefit girls that reach at least 10,000 beneficiaries. This isn't scale in every system, obviously, but it helps us focus on what we learn *outside* of small pilots. (I also think we learn from small pilots; we just learn different things.) Image
We find evidence that systems can effectively implement programs at scale to make school cheaper, feed girls at school, increase accessibility, and teach better--all with clear benefits for girls.

What are your favorite articles or blogs on how to finance educational reforms in low- and middle-income countries?

(I'll share just a handful in this 🧵, but I'm interested in others! Self promotion welcome!)
For domestic financing, @sondergl_lars wrote about the use of tax transfers to incentivize educational improvements in Ceará, Brazil. blogs.worldbank.org/latinamerica/c…
For a more technical dive into that experience, see "Incentives for Mayors to Improve Learning: Evidence from State Reforms in Ceará, Brazil" (openknowledge.worldbank.org/server/api/cor…) by @IldoLautharte, @VHOliveiraS, & @loureiroandre Image

Brazil's annual school performance results came out! g1.globo.com/rj/rio-de-jane…

The state of Ceará continues to perform excellently, despite being Brazil's 5th poorest state. Yet in 2005, Ceará performed in the bottom half of Brazil's states.

How did it achieve this change? 🧵
Yesterday I gave a talk on "The State of Ceará in Brazil is a Role Model for Reducing Learning Poverty" at @ILASColumbia, based on this study (documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/281…) by @loureiroandre, @cruz_louisee, @IldoLautharte, & me

Here's the story in a nutshell.
Ceará has realized major improvements in educational quality despite relatively low expenditures.
