Education is central to giving children
the building blocks for a life free of poverty. When schools
fail to deliver quality education, children are left without
the skills and knowledge they need to realize their
capabilities and become productive adults. This isn't
just a problem of insufficient supplies or poor facilities.
Policymakers and education experts in developing countries
often grapple with the problems of accountability: it can be
hard to create mechanisms for holding schools responsible
for student achievement, but across the world, promising
innovations are being introduced. The World Bank is working
hard to help countries meet the United Nations Millennium
Goal of universal primary education, and to ensure that
schools teach effectively and students can learn. To
understand whether low-cost private schools can improve
access to education and promote student learning especially
in cases where public schools aren't succeeding the
World Bank carried out an evaluation of a new public-private
education partnership in Pakistan at the request of the
government. Private schools in the program receive a
per-student monthly subsidy in exchange for waiving tuition
for all students and meeting a minimum pass rate in a
standardized academic test administered to students. |
