Modelling the long-run learning impact of the Covid-19 learning shock: Actions to (more than) mitigate loss

This paper uses a calibrated “pedagogical production function” model to estimate the potential long-term losses to children’s learning from the temporary shock of Covid-19 related school closures. It then models possible gains from two mitigation strategies. Without mitigation, children could lose more than a full year’s worth of learning from a three-month school closure because they will be behind the curriculum when they re-enter school and will fall further behind as time goes on. Remediation when children return to school reduces the long-term learning loss by half, but still leaves children more than half a year behind where they would have been with no shock. Remediation combined with long-term reorientation of curriculum to align with children’s learning levels fully mitigates the long-term learning loss due to the shock and surpasses the learning in the counterfactual of no shock by more than a full year’s worth of learning. Systems need to begin planning now for remediation programmes, and as they do so they should build programmes and train teachers in ways that can continue to produce benefits beyond the period immediately following reopening.

近代国际体育赛事的形成与发展管窥

通过文献资料、逻辑分析等方法，对20世纪初叶到70年代的近代国际体育赛事进行梳理，发现这一阶段是国际各类体育赛事形成与发展的高峰时期，随着时间的流逝，众多体育赛事中得以生存并获得发展的毕竟是少数。究其原因主要有来自于工业革命、宗教改革、两次世界大战、文化差异等方面。解决诸多困扰国际体育赛事发展问题的途径主要在于顺应时代潮流、注重不同文化的融合、正确处理体育与政治的关系等等。

略论海事诉讼时效协议延长的法律效力

允许当事人协议延长诉讼时效是海商法特有的一项制度。自本世纪六十年代起,与国际贸易惯例的国际化相适应,这一制度历经了一个成文化的过程,在这一过程中,它同时具有国际条约、国际惯例和国内法等三种法律表现形式,从而产生了确认其法律效力的困难。本文以为,在有法律明文规定的国家,它的法律效率是当然的;在接受国际惯例之拘束力的国家,它同样可以产生法律效力。我国是明确规定可以适用国际惯例的,因而这一制度在我国也可以得到适用。

国际体育运动中的人权问题研究

长期以来，国际体育运动中的人权一直是个被忽略的问题，而其也应当属于国际人权法研究的范围。体育权已被认为是一项人权，作为人权基础的自由、平等和不歧视同样可以被视为体育权的基础。儿童、妇女、残疾人等弱势群体参与体育运动的权利应当得到特殊的关照，而第三代人权则与参与体育运动的权利关系更为密切。联合国组织和国际奥委会在以上方面进行的合作促进了体育权的实现。

The international geophysical year in Antarctica: Uncommon collaborations, unprecedented results

When 1 July 1957 “dawned” in the dark of the south polar night, Americans at seven scientific stations scattered across Antarctica officially began systematic, synoptic observations of the air above and ice below. Joining scientists from 11 other countries on the polar continent, they were part of the International Geophysical Year, an 18-month worldwide effort to understand the earth and its environment. The Navy and other military services provided the transportation, construction, and maintenance to make life and work possible on the ice. The scientific success and value of the IGY inspired a mechanism—the Antarctic Treaty of 1959—for a peaceful future focused on the cooperative pursuit of scientific knowledge. While imperfect and fragile, the treaty is still in force and, with continuing military and civilian support, scientific research in Antarctica prospers. All this was achieved in a remarkably short time, by disparate, thinly acquainted, mutually wary cultures—military, scientific, and diplomatic. All the more astonishing is that it happened within the tense context of the Cold War, as statesmen and warriors were wise enough to allow “apolitical” scientists to lead where they could not.     

Are we using Friedman's roadmap? A comparative analysis of stimuli of private school enrolments in post-Soviet countries

There have been extensive scholarly debates on the role the private sector in the provision of schooling across the world. The former Soviet states have been largely excluded from these debates. This exploratory study examines the role the private sector in the formal provision of primary and secondary education in post-Soviet countries to demonstrate comparative trends and to provide a framework for the analysis of stimuli for private enrolments in the region. On the basis of the analysis of secondary data, documentary evidence and relevant literature, this paper shows that across the former Soviet countries, neoliberal ideas of education marketisation have not found fertile soil for development.
