All three of these axes are necessary for an education system to be functional both for society and to fulfil its role as a fundamental human right. New conceptual and empirical tools are adapted and created to provide the language and methodologies with which to understand, discuss, and analyse education systems along these axes. The first analytical chapter herein highlights the importance of accurate measurement tools, with a specific focus on sample selection bias in the context of low access when measuring education quality and equity. Chapter 3 provides a new way to accurately measure changes in basic education funding – which is critical to quality and equity in South Africa – in the presence of changing input costs, which are not captured in traditional inflation measures. Chapter 4 uses an established measure of racial homogeneity in a new dataset to capture the changes in school demographics over time. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geen opsomming beskikbaar.
