Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V n. 5 - The Spatial Education Inequalities website (SEI)

Reproduzo abaixo texto que explica o projeto coordenado por Marcos Delprato  da Universidade de Sussex, Inglaterra, intitulado "Spatial Education Inequalities". Na prática os dados permitem conhecermos o quão profunda é a desigualdade educacional no mundo contemporâneo. Trata-se de ferramenta importantíssima para os que estudam as desigualdades regionais domésticas e no sistema internacional sob a ótica do sistema educacional. Eis link para acesso: https://spatial-education-inequalities.com/. Também é possível clicar em diversos momentos do texto para ser direcionadx e haverá um link permanente em nossa lista de sugestões de sites a conhecer aqui no blog.

Segue texto de apresentação do projeto:

The online site Spatial Educational Inequalities (SEI) allows a more robust monitoring of educational inequality beyond what is provided by current monitoring tools which rely on rural and urban categorisations and regional divisions within a country.

The SEI uses as a unit of analysis the community and its spatial location (XY coordinates) within a given country. This permits the users to carry out a more refined geographic assessment of education inequalities, and a more granular and efficient monitoring and targeting through the use geodata localised indicators (with maps and related dataset). A spatial perspective on educational inequality is important as correlations of education indicators across the life course based on smaller areas definitions depends on what happens in proximal areas through cluster externalities.

The SEI website was launched in July 2019 for engagement with the international education community and those monitoring the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 for Education, adding to the current educational inequalities’ platforms and efforts on tackling education inequalities on the global south.

Up to now, the SEI website contains the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region, for the latest 29 DHS surveys/countries, and for 14 education indicators. Users can compare results across countries, though the main purpose is for country-specific analysis. The SEI website contains maps, spatial statistics, and raw dataset and geographical files for further analysis. The site contains over 10,000 maps and over 2,000 files.
