The module will introduce statistical and methodological concepts through a series of ‘big questions’ that we will aim to answer. These questions will include:

• Does it matter which school you attend?
• What are the short-run and long-run benefits to getting an education?
• Does early years education help close the attainment gap between children growing up in high and low-income households?
• Should we reduce class sizes?
• Are large-scale organisational reforms to school governance or organisation transformation?
• Should we pay students for working hard or parents for school attendance?
• Should we reward teachers for high quality instruction?
