C’est bien qu’il y ait un chapitre sur le vote à 16 ans qui n’est pas assez discuté en France à mon avis. On devrait d’ailleurs aller encore plus bas si on veut que le corps électoral soit vraiment représentatif.

Au Royaume-Uni, le taux de pauvreté absolu est 60% du revenu médian de 2010/11, ajusté de l'inflation. Donc ça dépend bien du contexte. Le précédent seuil datait de 98/99. A mon avis, ça a du sens d'avoir un seuil fixe sur 10-20 ans.

Oui je suis bien conscient des limites des deux approches mais je trouve difficile d'apprécier les tendances avec un seuil qui change chaque année. Je préfèrerais que l'INSEE fasse comme le RU et reporte les taux de pauvreté absolue et relatif.

Comment le niveau de vie median a-t-il évolué sur la période ? Est-il possible de recalculer la série avec un seuil de pauvreté absolu ?

There are many more findings in the report (textbooks, school distance, canteens, etc.). Our models use data from all schools over 5 years with school fixed effects. Education admin data (EMIS) offers huge potential to inform policy—let’s keep using it!

8) Private sector

Private schools outperform public ones on exam success, but the advantage largely fades when controlling for student background and location. Catholic schools still perform better after controls, while Muslim schools—often rural with poorer students—do worse than public schools.

7) Community engagement.

Active parental associations (APE), mothers' associations (AME) or school management committees (COGES) play a positive role in students' schooling conditions, notably for the presence of health interventions : bednet use, medical check-ups or deworming.

6) Security crisis

1 in 3 schools closed in 2022/23 due to insecurity, affecting 800k+ students; few reenrol elsewhere.

Linking with ACLED data shows violence also raises dropouts in schools that remain open, hitting girls 50% harder.

5) Multigrade

Students with multigrade teachers perform better (+3.2 pts promotion, +3.5 pts exam pass). Yet only 1% in public schools vs. 20% in private benefit. Multigrade teaching may hold insights for improving education quality.

4) Class size

Public classrooms in Burkina Faso have 68 students on average. Reducing class size by 10 could improves promotion (+2 pts) and exam pass rates (+1.5 pts). The issue isn’t teacher shortage but lack of classrooms—especially in cities and conflict-affected regions.

3) Teacher Training

1 in 3 private school teachers—and 3 in 4 in private Muslim schools—have no formal training.

Untrained teachers are associated with lower student promotion (-0.9 points) and exam pass rates (-1.6 points).

2) Inequalities

Children from more advantaged backgrounds score higher on the primary exam. But most of this gap fades when accounting for school type & location.

🚨 Exception: Civil servants’ kids still hold a strong advantage (+9 pts), even after controlling for school factors.

1) Gender

➡️ More boys enter primary school, but their enrollment drops rapidly. By Grade 4, there are more girls, and more girls pass the primary exam (CPE).

➡️ Girls benefit more from female teachers, proximity to school, and access to canteens/latrines—factors that matter less for boys.

À quoi ça sert de mettre le genre sur le passeport maintenant qu’on a des passeports biométriques ?

Part 1: Bitcoin is the most secure way to hold assets!
Part 2: buying a landfill and going through 100,000 to get your money back.

Oui je veux bien croire que c’est galère mais de là à financer 120% du salaire pendant 2 ans, ça me paraît beaucoup.

Honnêtement j’ai du mal à comprendre l’intérêt social d’une telle mesure. Pourquoi subventionner le salaire des plus diplômés ?
