The Road to Educational Inclusion: Four Steps to Develop Systems to Protect Educational Pathways. Step 2: Designing Early Warning Systems
Date
Oct 2021
This document is the second of four publications in the series “The Road to Educational Inclusion: Four Steps to Develop Systems to Protect Educational Pathways”. It aims to serve as a guide for education ministries and secretariats in the region that are interested in designing and implementing a pathway protection system.
The series consolidates existing knowledge about the protection of students educational pathways in a context in which the challenge of exclusion is ever more widespread in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
Step 2 now goes on to present the different approaches to designing early warning systems. They range from simple systems that trigger warnings by combining specific indicators through to more sophisticated systems using machine-learning methodologies. Step 2 also addresses the aspects that are key for designing an effective system and sets out essential guidelines for the use of data, the definition of indicators and the potential application of artificial intelligence (AI).
