Using baseline data collected in Kibera informal settlement in 2015…

Research shows that these vocal changes happen similarly across industrialized…

Research shows that fathers' level of education predicts achievement of both boys and girls, with significantly greater effect for boys. Similarly, mothers' level of education predicts the achievement of girls but not boys.
