'To Become Successful' - Impacts of parent migration on youth's educatioal op...So Young Chang
This document summarizes a policy brief about the impacts of parental migration on youth educational opportunities and aspirations in Ponorogo, Indonesia. Key findings include: 1) Remittances from migrant parents are crucial for supporting families and children's education but are often used for daily expenses rather than long-term investments due to economic precarity. 2) Supporting children's education is a main driver for migration but remittances are not always sufficient for supporting children through university. 3) Youth educational and career aspirations are influenced by their socioeconomic background, with poverty sometimes perpetuated across generations through gendered patterns of migration. The brief calls for policies to increase education affordability and create local investment opportunities to support youth development.
Achieving gender parity in enrollment through capitation grant and school fee...Alexander Decker
The document discusses strategies used by the Ghanaian government to improve enrollment and attendance in basic schools, including the Capitation Grant and School Feeding Programme. It analyzes whether these programs have addressed disparities in enrollment and attendance between rural boys and girls in the Northern Region of Ghana. The study found that while overall enrollment has increased for both sexes, girls' enrollment exceeds boys' and boys' attendance rates are higher than girls'. It concludes that achieving parity in enrollment and attendance through these programs alone is a myth rather than a reality due to challenges in rural communities.
Investing in Early Childhood Education in Bougainville Marcus Pelto
A presentation that promotes the case for long-term investment in Early Childhood Education in Bougainville. Featuring a short interview with Bougainvillean ECE expert Dr Davinah Ope.
The document discusses gender disparity in education in Turkey, noting that millions of women are functionally illiterate with illiteracy rates as high as 50% in some rural southeastern provinces. It analyzes the key barriers to girls' education such as lack of schools, poverty, traditional gender bias, and child labor/marriage. The document proposes solutions like increasing access to quality schools, cash transfers to poor families conditional on school attendance, and addressing male-dominated cultural attitudes.
The document discusses the manpower requirements approach used in educational planning, particularly in African countries in the 1960s-1970s. This approach aimed to project manpower needs and develop indigenous human resources after periods of colonial domination. It involved designing education systems to produce the quantity and skills needed by each economic sector. The key objectives were to avoid shortages in the labor market and estimate requirements like the number of graduates, teachers, and curriculum changes needed. The stages involved forecasting jobs, skills, student enrollments and balancing entrants/outflows to avoid shortfalls/surpluses in manpower supply. Examples of its application in countries like Kenya, Nepal, Cambodia, Zimbabwe and Botswana are also provided.

This document examines the impact of affordable housing on the education of low-income students in Polk County, Iowa. It finds that residential and school mobility negatively impact student achievement, with students in high-poverty schools scoring 54% lower on standardized tests on average. Housing instability and high housing costs contribute to stress and poor health for low-income families and children. The document recommends investing in affordable housing programs and inclusionary zoning policies to promote residential stability and improve educational outcomes for low-income students.
This document discusses several trends related to the globalization of education: 1) Cultural competency is important as classrooms become more diverse. Teachers must develop skills to meet the needs of all learners. 2) Technology integration is a challenge for teachers to balance engagement with comprehension. 3) Socioeconomic status impacts many students' access to higher education due to high costs and limited financial support. 4) Limited transportation restricts access to extracurricular activities and cultural experiences. 5) Common core standards aim to ensure students are prepared for college and careers globally but aligning assessments is challenging.

Here are three suggestions for activities based on the document:
1. Research and discuss the different approaches to foreign aid for education that have been tried over the past decades, from the "productivist" approach of the 1960s-80s to the "developmentalist" approach that followed. What were the strengths and limitations of each?
2. Examine specific education aid projects mentioned, like those led by USAID in the Philippines. Identify their goals and intended outcomes. Discuss how factors outside of schools could influence whether those outcomes are achieved.
3. Consider the complex challenges of assessing the effectiveness of foreign aid for education. Brainstorm strategies aid agencies could use to better evaluate the impact of their projects on educational and developmental
This document discusses several topics related to schooling for girls and women's issues in developing countries, including:
1) Education is a basic human right, yet many developing countries remain patriarchal societies where girls face barriers to education such as early marriage, lack of access to schools, and cultural pressures.
2) There are differences in primary education completion rates between boys and girls in some developing countries according to census data, despite laws guaranteeing equal access.
3) The concept of culture and how expectations about gender roles and relations are shaped by culture. While gender relations vary between societies, women generally have less autonomy and influence than men.
4) Cultures and traditions are not static and change over
1) Early childhood education has significant individual and social benefits for children's development, and high-quality early education has lasting positive impacts. However, quality is at risk from recent government funding cuts.
2) The cuts amount to over $435 million over four years and affect over 90,000 children by no longer funding services that employ more than 80% qualified teachers. This undermines New Zealand's commitment to 100% qualified teachers in early childhood education.
3) NZEI continues advocating for restoring funding to support 100% qualified teachers in early childhood services to ensure quality education. Investment in early childhood education returns up to $17 for every dollar spent.
An Investigation into Poverty and Educational Outcomes in GhanaRECOUP
This document analyzes patterns of educational attainment in Ghana and their relationship to employment outcomes and poverty levels. It finds that over 60% of adults have less than 9 years of schooling. Higher levels of education are associated with employment outside of agriculture and in finance/service sectors. While education reduces the likelihood of poverty, many educated Ghanaians still face unemployment, suggesting schools may not provide skills aligned with economic needs. Improving education quality, retention, and links between education and development strategy could help Ghana realize greater returns from its investment in education.

MDG 2 aimed to achieve universal primary education by 2015. While primary school enrollment increased globally from 83% to 91% between 2000-2015, 57 million children worldwide were still not enrolled in primary school in 2015. Progress was uneven, with children in conflict-affected areas and from poorer households much less likely to attend. Further efforts are needed such as improving school access and quality, increasing teacher training, and providing incentives to keep children in school.
The document discusses issues related to education in India. It notes that while literacy rates have increased, the definition of literacy is not very practical. It also discusses challenges like lack of proper infrastructure in schools, poor teacher training and incentives, and social barriers to education. Some recommendations provided include increasing funding for education, improving school infrastructure, strengthening teacher recruitment and training, and making education more relevant and skill-based.
How to use marketing, branding and communication to drive quality education 2Vikas Monga
Marketing, branding, and communication are important tools for educational institutions to attract students and other stakeholders. As the educational landscape has changed with more options available, schools must distinguish themselves to stay competitive. Branding is particularly important for both public and private institutions to reinforce their reputation and drive quality education. While technology has helped increase access, many challenges remain in ensuring all students, especially those from marginalized groups, receive a quality education. Positive marketing and communication can help address difficulties and realize the benefits of initiatives that aim to enhance teaching quality.

2. What is demographic change?
➢Study of how human populations change over time.
➢It involves the analysis of differences in population size and
population structure.
➢Population size: number of individuals in a population.
➢Population structure: distribution of people in a population
according to designated demographic traits.
3. Kenya’s population
➢Demographic change has been
vast over the past 5 years; rising
from a population of 46.4 million
in 2018 to 50.6 million in 2022.
➢ This has tremendously
influenced decisions about
marketing and recruitment in
Kenya’s educational
institutions.
(KNBS, 2023)
4. Define Marketing & recruitment
➢Marketing - clarifying institutional image, establishing
enrolment targets to meet school composite goals,
understanding the school’s niche in the marketplace, and
integrating marketing and communication efforts.
➢Recruitment - set of marketing and communication actions
carried out by an institution, university, or school, to attract,
engage and convert individuals into new and consistent
enrolments.
5. Enrolment in Kenyan schools (KNBS, 2023)
➢Primary schools - dropped from 10.5 million in 2018 to
10 million in 2019 due to Covid 19, then went up to
10.3 million in 2022.
➢Secondary school - increased from 2.9 million in 2018
to 3.8 million in 2022.
➢University enrolment - also risen from 519 thousand
in 2018 to 563 thousand in 2022.
6. Demographic Changes Influencing the choice of
Marketing & Recruitment in Kenyan Schools:
✓Population size
✓Age Structure
✓Gender Roles
✓Sex ratio
✓Education levels
✓Ethnicity Make
✓Natality rates (birth rates)
✓Mortality (death rates)
✓ Income Rates
✓ Employment Rate
✓ Early Marriages
✓ Migration Rates
✓ Dependency Ratio
✓ Family structure
✓ Occupation
7. Population Size
➢Number of individuals
present in a subjectively
designated geographic range.
➢ Over the past 5 years,
the population size in
Kenya rose from 46.4
million people in 2018 to
50.6 million in 2022.
(KNBS, 2023).
8. Influence of population size on marketing and
recruitment in education institutions
➢Institutions in densely populated regions: record high number
students, use marketing strategies like vehicles with loudspeakers, &
use of banners, and allocate the regions more time in their marketing
plan.
➢Institutions in less populated areas: record low number of students,
use marketing strategies like Radio, Televisions & issuing brochures,
and spend less time in such regions.
➢Institutions situated in urban areas: have high probability of
recruiting many students whereas those in rural areas are likely to
struggle in recruiting students.
9. Age Structure
➢Proportionate numbers of people in different age
categories in each population for a defined time.
➢Institutions that target young people like pre-primary
employ animations, pictures, neon signs & TVs in
marketing.
➢Institutions targeting teenagers and youth like
secondary and higher education institutions employ
social media, events, open day fairs, visits, print
media, radios, and televisions.
➢Institutions targeting the adult population could use
word of mouth, digital platforms, and print media.
10. ➢Institutions must comply with government policy on age requirements
when recruiting students.
➢Institutions must undertake a routine follow-up to students during the
recruitment process to keep them informed on the date and requirements.
➢Age determines whether an individual will or will not proceed with
pursuing education. This mostly affects recruitment in basic education.
➢Government policy on age requirement to provide support inform of
capitation, bursaries affect recruitment of students.
Age Structure Cont:
11. GENDER ROLES
➢Socially constructed roles, behaviors, expressions and identities of girls,
women, boys, men, and gender diverse people.
➢Sensitization approach is used to influence the target audience and
help them understand the importance of education.
➢Mentors and role models are used during marketing plan to help
convince the target audience to join an educational institution.
➢Institutions in regions with strong cultural beliefs in the roles of the
boys and girls are likely to record a reduced number of students during
recruitment compared to those situated in more gender diverse regions.
12. SEX RATIO
➢Ratio of males
to females in a
population.
(KNBS 2023)
Primary school enrolment in Kenya from 2015 to
2021, by gender(in 1,000s)
14. ➢Institutions are likely to offer discounts, sponsorship and even
percentage slots on certain courses to specific sex category targets.
➢Institutions are likely to include mentors and role models during their
marketing plan to help convince the target audience to join their institutions.
➢Institutions can employ television advertisements in between programs
like soaps to reach the females and during news to reach their male
counterparts.
SEX RATIO CONT.
15. ➢Institutions offering technical courses are likely to have reduced
number of female students compared to male students.
➢Institutions offering business courses are likely to record many
female students compared to male.
➢Institutions situated in regions where females are not given
priority in acquiring education are likely to record a low number
of female students’ recruitment.
SEX RATIO CONT.
16. ➢Level of formal education
that an individual has
completed.
➢There 10 levels of
education in Kenya which
include primary,
secondary, and tertiary.

➢For institutions targeting the illiterate, radio, television, and cinema ads are
more effective while print media (billboards, posters, burners), social
media, newspapers and magazines may be appropriate for educated people.
➢Institutions offering advanced levels in education structure like masters
and PhD are likely to record a minimum number during recruitment
compared to degree, diploma, basic education because only a small
percentage of people advance in their education.
EDUCATION LEVELS CONT.
18. ETHNICITY MAKE
➢While marketing, the school will ensure that the methods of advertising being
used is geared towards sensitising the target groups.
➢For example, when advertising an international school with high school fees, the
school will target the whites because they usually show much preference to
international curriculum as compared to the blacks who in most cases have
shown preference to the local education.
➢This will help the school to achieve the maximum recruitment level of desire as
well as to maximize profit levels because their target group is able to help attain
the institution's goals, objectives and aims.
19. NATALITY (OR BIRTH RATES)
➢Ratio of the number of births to the size of that population.
➢It results in the addition of number of individuals to a population
thus the number of potential number of students to join schools increases.
➢A community with a higher number of births provide a conducive market
for education products.
➢Schools will thrive well in such environments as Kiambu county, Nairobi
county etc., as compared to areas with low birth rates.
20. ➢Measure of the frequency of occurrence of death in a defined population during
a specified interval.
➢Areas with high death rates aren't conducive for marketing of a school
program.
➢High death rates makes it very difficult to start and run a school in such areas.
➢The deaths may be very aggressive that even the school won't be having
enough learners to help it run ,as a result, the school may fail to achieve its
mission because of low recruitment rate.
MORTALITY (OR DEATH RATES)
21. INCOME RATES
➢The level of income vary from one household to the other, from one region to the other and
from one country to another.
➢The people who earn less income tend to get attracted to schools who market cheaper
courses as compared to those who earn higher income who will tend to go for expensive
courses and let their children study.
➢Marketing and recruitment of learners in areas where individuals earn higher is easier for
schools because the individuals can afford whatever the cost for a course thus having higher
enrolment rates.
➢Environments with low-income individuals may be living from hand to mouth and can't afford
education, the schools in this area will experience low school turnover because of poverty.
22. EMPLOYMENT RATE
Marketing a school where most individuals are employed
is easier because they can achieve the requirements of the
schools and send their children to school and afford their
fees, therefore, the level of recruitment in schools will be
higher thus maximum profit by the schools and more
manpower to run the school.
23. ➢Educational institutions have resorted to mobilization and sensitization of
girls in regions where early marriage is common to convince parent and
girls to embrace education and to ensure that girls are enrolled, retained,
and graduated.
➢These include holding community workshops, door-to-door outreaches,
using banners dubbed ‘education not marriage’, and facilitating
education of girls through provision of sanitary towels in schools.
➢Girls who have also given birth because of child marriages are allowed to
go back to school without victimization.
EARLY MARRIAGES
24. MIGRATION RATES
➢Migration rates are high in ASAL regions since the inhabitants normally pastoralists who move
from one area to another in search of water and pasture.
➢This destabilizes students who are forced to accompany their parents and thus dropping out
of school.
➢Migration is one factor that has led to low enrolment in ASAL regions.
➢For schools is these regions to recruit and retain students until they graduate, they must
involve themselves in charitable activities like giving free food, water, and boarding facilities.
➢Schools also look for donors for schools to help them offer these charity services that are
aimed at increasing enrolment in these regions.
25. DEPENDENCY RATIO
➢Most families in rural areas have many children who depend on their parents to support
them in their education.
➢Most of these homes cannot raise school fees to all these children and this has reduced
the chances of a child completing studies.
➢When a children dropout of school because their parents are not able to handle the high
decency, the schools continuously register low number of students.
➢Some of the educational institutions have come up with ways of reducing these dropouts.
➢These ways include identifying these families and providing scholarships to their children.
26. FAMILY STRUCTURE
➢Children who grow up in single-parent or stepparent families have lower
educational attainment than those who grow up with both biological
parents.
➢The advantage of growing up with both parents is reinforced by the inter
generational transfer of human capital.
➢Educational institutions give sponsorship priorities to orphans and
children living with single-parent or stepparents.
➢These increases enrollments and retention in schools.
27. OCCUPATION
➢Parental occupation is the most determining factor of
generating income which affects the overall enrolment of
children in educational institutions.
➢When parents have a better occupation, they make adequate
provision for their children’s education and hence increase
enrolment.
