This paper uses a randomized experiment to analyze the impact of a school grants program in Senegal, which allowed schools to apply for funding for improvements of their own choice. The analysis finds positive effects on test scores at lower grades that persist at least two years. These effects are concentrated among schools that focused funds on human resource improvements rather than school materials, suggesting that teachers and principals may be a central determinant of school quality. 2016-04-26T20:59:44Z 2016-04-26T20:59:44Z 2016-04 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/04/26184566/school-grants-education-quality-experimental-evidence-senegal http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24166 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7624 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Africa Senegal
