Wealth inequity is found to occur not through disparate household characteristics but rather through disparate school characteristics; little evidence is found of an association between wealth and competency within schools. Weak evidence is found of wealth mitigating gender differences through school characteristics. These findings suggest that wealth inequity in the accumulation of cognitive skills is almost exclusively associated with disparate school characteristics and that disparate school characteristics may play a role in accentuating gender inequity.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCEANALYTICAL METHODASSESSMENT FRAMEWORKBASIC EDUCATIONBETTER LEARNINGBETTER SCHOOLSCOGNITIVE ACHIEVEMENTCOGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTCOGNITIVE SKILLSCOMPETENCIESCURRICULUMDATA ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTDISCRIMINATIONEARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMICS OF EDUCATIONEDUCATED PARENTSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION PLANNERSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION STRATEGYEDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL EQUITYEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSELEMENTSEXAMGENDERGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DISPARITIESGENDER DISPARITYGENDER EQUALITYGENDER GAPGENDER GROUPSGENDER INEQUALITYGENDERSGIRLSGIRLS SCHOOLSHIGHER SCHOOL FEESHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINDEXESINTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSESSMENTLABOR MARKETSLABOUR FORCELABOUR MARKETLABOUR MARKET OUTCOMESLEARNINGLEARNING OUTCOMESLEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENTLITERACYLITERATUREMATHEMATICSPAPERSPERFORMANCE OF STUDENTSPRIVATE SCHOOLPRIVATE SCHOOLSPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY PUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALITY SCHOOLSREADINGRESEARCHERSRETENTION RATESRURAL AREASSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL RETENTIONSCHOOL SELECTIONSCHOOL SIZESCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOLINGSCHOOLING QUALITYSCHOOLSSCIENCE STUDYSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSOCIETYSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSSTUDENT BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICSSTUDENT PERFORMANCESUBJECT AREASTEACHERSVIOLENCEWEALTHY STUDENTSWORTHYOUTH10.1596/1813-9450-5189
