Maya Pargade-Klitzke

Maya Pargade-Klitzke is a Project Associate at J-PAL Europe for the Innovation, Data, and Experiments in Education (IDEE) programme.

IDEE is a 8-year government-funded initiative aimed at supporting the development of experimental research in education in France. It will do so in particular by (1) facilitating access to administrative data, (2) providing research resources and measurement tools, and (3) structuring partnerships with policy-makers and practitioners, with the aim of making France a leader in education research and innovation. The IDEE consortium brings together leading researchers and labs in economics, sociology, psychology, education, and cognitive sciences, coordinated by the Ecole Normale Supérieure/PSL and led by J-PAL Europe at the Paris School of Economics.

Before joining J-PAL in 2022, Maya interned for J-PAL Europe, as well as UN Women based in Paris. She has also worked with Care International in their education and gender programmes in Morocco.
