Hoy en @nadaesgratis.bsky.social, @ayllonsara.bsky.social y @samuellado.bsky.social nos cuentan qué dice la evidencia sobre el impacto de los comedores escolares y las becas en los resultados educativos y qué implicaciones tiene para el diseño de políticas públicas.

Política lingüística: "la evidencia sugiere que las becas comedor no solo aseguran una comida diaria, sino que también ayudan a mejorar las habilidades lingüísticas [particulamente em catalán] de los estudiantes más vulnerables gracias a la interacción con compañeros de contextos más favorecidos"

Look at the distribution of effect estimates of providing school meals on student performance.

Does providing kids with meals at schools increase their performance? This new meta-analysis addresses this question very rigorously. They find that school-meal programs in high-income economies have minimal impact on students' behavior, health, and education. www.iza.org/publications...
