A researcher’s battle to make education more resilient

William Loxley

International Journal of Educational Development, 2024, vol. 110, issue C

Abstract: The essay entitled "A Researcher's Battle to Make Education More Resilient" reviews the educational research career of William Loxley who worked in international education for the past 45 years. His work led him from early days working in the Philippines and Vietnam, to Chicago Public Schools; and from World Bank, Ford Foundation, IEA, and ADB in Manila to research critical issues of academic achievement, school dropout, vocational education, computers in education, and institutional capacity-building around the world. Taken together, the research offered advice to school policy in the developing world that guided education expansion. Future challenges in international education are great, but they can be acted out from a firm foundation of educational research serving the world community.
