Using Low-Cost Private Schools to Fill the Education Gap
Educating children is a priority across
the globe, but developing countries can face enormous
challenges. In Pakistans Sindh province, only about half of
primary school age children go to school, making education a
priority for the Sindh government. Through the International
Development Association (IDA), the World Banks fund for the
poorest, the Sindh government received assistance to develop
and implement its Sindh education sector reform program to
raise enrollment, improve student achievement, and reduce
social disparities in education by improving school
performance through more accountability and better
governance. This included a program offering cash subsidies
to private entrepreneurs to provide free, co-educational
primary schools in villages in remote areas without local
schools. To measure the effect, an impact evaluation was
built into this program. The evaluation found that boys and
girls in villages that received program-supported private
schools were more likely to be in school and they did better
on tests than children in villages without such schools.
This Evidence to Policy note was jointly produced by the
World Bank Group, the Strategic Impact Evaluation Fund
(SIEF), and the British governments Department for
International Development.
