Redding, Sam; Layland, Allison – Building State Capacity and Productivity Center, 2017
For state education agencies (SEAs) and local education agencies (LEAs), the tide of work has shifted pretty dramatically in recent years.

Kraft, Matthew A.; Marinell, William H.; Yee, Darrick – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2015
In education, there is ample evidence that some schools far outperform others at raising student achievement even when accounting for differences in the students they serve and the resources at their disposal. Differences in the human capital stock of teachers across schools cannot fully account for the differential productivity across schools. In…

Down, Barry; Smyth, John; Robinson, Janean – Critical Studies in Education, 2019
In Australia, like many western countries, there has been a convergence of education policy around a set of utilitarian and economistic approaches to vocational education and training in schools.

De Grip, Andries; Sauermann, Jan – Educational Research Review, 2013
Although the transfer of on-the-job training to the workplace belongs to the realm of educational research, it is also highly related to labour economics.

Rukumnuaykit, Pungpond; Pholphirul, Piriya – Journal of Education and Work, 2016
Human capital investment is a necessary condition for improving labour market outcomes in most countries. Empirical studies to investigate human capital and its linkages on the labour demand side are, however, relatively scarce due to limitations of firm-level data-sets. Using firm-level data from the Thai manufacturing sector, this paper aims to…

In the context of global financial uncertainty, the target was rationalised as a means for boosting national productivity and developing human capital to help Australia compete in the global…

Sawchuk, Stephen – Education Week, 2013
Data, while imprecise, suggest that some states are producing far more new teachers at the elementary level than will be able to find jobs in their respective states--even as districts struggle to find enough recruits in other certification fields. For some observers, the imbalances reflect a failure of teacher colleges--by far, the largest source…
