Tiago Lisboa Bartholo holds a Ph.D. in Education from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), where he is currently a Full Professor at the Laboratory School (Colégio de Aplicação) and a faculty member of the Graduate Program in Education (PPGE-UFRJ). He is a Jovem Cientista do Nosso Estado (Young Scientist of Our State, FAPERJ 2024–2027) and the National Project Manager of the OECD International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study (IELS 2023–2026) in Brazil. Tiago is a research fellow at the Laboratory for Research on Educational Opportunities (LaPOpE/CNPq), focusing on how inequalities in access, quality, and outcomes shape children’s educational trajectories.
His research agenda combines large-scale data analysis and field-based studies to investigate the effectiveness, equity, and well-being dimensions of education, from early childhood through basic education. He is the principal investigator of the iPIPS project in Brazil – an international longitudinal study examining what children know and can do upon entering school. Between 2017 and 2022, his team collected data from over 8,000 children aged 4–6 in public, philanthropic, and private schools across multiple Brazilian states.
Tiago has worked as a consultant for Brazil’s Ministry of Education, the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE), the Carlos Chagas Foundation, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). He is also a member of the Conselho da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, an advisory council of experts supporting strategic public policy initiatives for the city. He has been a visiting researcher at the Universities of León (Spain), Birmingham, and Durham (UK), and has published extensively on educational inequality and policy evaluation.
