    The effect of tuition fee reduction and education subsidy on school enrollment: Evidence from Vietnam

    Full text link
    Available online 31 OctoberThis paper examines the impact of two education incentive policies including tuition fee reduction and education subsidy on secondary-school enrollment of children in Vietnam. Using Vietnam Household Living Standard Surveys during the 2006–2018 period, we find that both policies significantly increase the school enrollment rate of children. The effect of these policies varies across different groups of children with a greater effect on those from ethnic minority groups, rural areas, poor and low-income households. Our findings suggest that these education incentive programs are an effective way to encourage children to enroll school, especially in low- and middle-income countries.Tuan Anh Bui, Cuong Viet Nguyen, Khuong Duc Nguyen, Ha Hong Nguyen, Phuong Thu Pha

    The Attic and The Wheelchair V.C. Andrews\u27s Accident and The Dollanganger Series

    Full text link
    Author V.C. Andrews became known in 1979 with her first novel Flowers in the Attic and continued the series with Petals on the Wind, If There be Thorns, and Seeds of Yesterday. Problematic themes such as sudden accidents, romantic rape, incest, and mother daughter rivalry emerge continuously in each novel. In her interview with Douglas E. Winter, Andrews explains that since her debilitating fall down the stairs at the age of fifteen she lived with and depended on her mother. Unable to fulfill the goals of her childhood, Andrews read fairy tales, and romance novels and wrote her fantasies in the Dollanganger Series. The troublesome characteristics of sudden death, taboo sex, and gender roles reveal a stunted emotional development in the author. This thesis examines the possibility that the series\u27s disturbing, repeated themes are inspired by Andrews\u27s debilitating fall down the stairs when she was fifteen
