Research questions addressed by LEVANTE

LEVANTE aims to identify how individual variability, group heterogeneity, and contextual variability influence children’s learning and development.

By including data collection of common measures on these different areas longitudinally and at a global level, LEVANTE will help researchers, educators, and policy-makers understand learning and developmental variability, thus improving future outcomes for diverse groups of children worldwide.

Explore ways to join the LEVANTE network

Even in those cases where access to LEVANTE funding is not possible (e.g. implementations of the complete LEVANTE assessment or the accelerated longitudinal design are not feasible), researchers can still join the LEVANTE data sharing community, engage and collaborate with other researchers in the network, and offer their expertise.

More details on these types of partnerships coming soon. Watch this space!
