Paper: Schooling as a skill? Future directions for research on children’s schooling and skills acquisition in the global South
Affiliation: University of Bath
Bursary Awarded: 2011

I was grateful to attend the UKFIET conference in Oxford in 2011. It was my first time presenting at a major international conference. It was a great chance to present some of my doctoral work alongside some leading scholars in my field. The experience gave me a lot of confidence to continue putting myself out there in different conferences. The feedback I received on my paper at UKFIET was incredibly useful, and I’m aiming to integrate that paper into the monograph I’m preparing from my thesis.
