Education
What it is and why it is important
Education research investigates how educational systems, policies, and practices influence social structures, economic opportunities, and individual outcomes. It also examines how institutional factors, individual attributes, and social interactions shape educational outcomes.
Our research addresses inequalities in education which contributes to broader social equity, enabling all individuals to reach their full potential.
Key research topics in this field include:
- Disparities in access to quality education and educational resources.
- The impact of education on socio-economic mobility and income inequality.
- The role of education in shaping social and political attitudes and behaviors.
