Education Next – Staff Writer
“Every December we release a list of the most popular articles Education Next has published over the course of the year. Which topics were most popular with Education Next readers in 2015? Poverty and inequality have been major themes in the U.S. in 2015 and Ed Next readers were particularly interested in articles looking at the intersection of these topics with K-12 education policy. Five of the articles in the top 20 are from a special issue Ed Next released last spring on the 50th Anniversary of the Moynihan Report which examined the rise in the number of children growing up in single-parent families. Several of the articles in that issue take a close look at the impact of changes in family structure on educational attainment in the U.S. and in other countries.”(more)
