The Differences in the Educational Achievement of Indigenous Students in Guatemalan Primary Schools

Updated: Jun 7, 2023

 

This paper analyses the differences in the academic achievement of indigenous and non-indigenous children that attend primary schools in Guatemala. A decomposition procedure suggests that a relatively small portion of the academic achievement gap is explained by the differences in the socioeconomic status of indigenous and non-indigenous families. School attributes such as monolingual education, coverage, teacher supply gap, lack of resources and school quality play an important role in explaining the academic achievement gap.
