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.     

The influence of maltreatment history and out-of-home-care on children’s language and social skills

This study examined the extent to which maltreatment history and the characteristics of out-of-home care correlated with the language and social skills of maltreated children. Participants in this study were 82 maltreated children aged between 5 and 12 years of age. All children were residing with state-designated carers in out-of-home-care. The children were presented with standardised tests assessing language and social skills. Results showed that the sample performed significantly below the normative mean on both tests. Correlation analyses showed social skills, but not language skills were correlated with aspects of maltreatment history. The education level of the state-designated carer/s was correlated with the children's language skills; higher education level was associated with higher language skills. The study provides evidence that at the group level, language and social skills are poor in maltreated children. However, gains in language skills might be made via the out-of-home-care environment. Improvements in the social skills of maltreated children may require additional support.

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。
