Completed project

Educational Trajectories: Choices, Constraints and Contexts

Project period 2013–2016
Project employer The Research Council of Norway
Project nr. 410.097
Project leader Inés Hardoy

The aim of this project was to contribute to a better understanding of trajectory patterns in the educational system and their determinants.

Analyses of individual developments and outcomes were undertaken for pupils at different levels in the educational system as well as in the transition periods from school to work. Important questions in this respect were:

  • Does place of residence affect patterns of educational program choice?
  • How do gender differences in educational trajectories amplify, shrink or interact with other forms of inequalities such as ethnicity and social class?
  • Is ethnic school segregation negative for student performance?
  • Does the ethnic school composition affect the performance of native origin pupils?
  • Does health during childhood and adolescence influence educational outcomes such as grades and completion?
  • Is health a mediating factor between family resources and educational outcomes?
