The Impact of Quality of Education on Children’s Cognitive and Noncognitive Skills

Although evidence-based policy making (EBPM) is the standard in US and European countries, Japan lags behind, especially in the fields of education. In this study, researchers will closely work with policy makers from central- and local governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders and conduct the rigorous impact evaluations of education policies. Through this research project, we seek to create concrete examples of EBPM in education and promote EBPM in Japan.
