| Summary: | Many developing countries have invested
substantial resources in expanding their primary and
secondary education systems, resulting in large gains in the
number of students completing basic education. However, in
many countries this growth has outpaced the ability of
education ministries to effectively monitor the quality of
their schools. This has resulted in limited progress in
improving teacher attendance in the classroom and has
resulted in limited learning time and poor learning
outcomes. Results-based financing (RBF) has been used in to
address these challenges by creating stronger incentives to
achieve better results. The World Bank provided technical
assistance to the ministry of education of Mozambique to
design and implement a pilot to assess the effectiveness of
performance-based school grants in 552 primary schools. A
rigorous impact evaluation should be implemented to monitor
the program’s effectiveness in securing desired education results. |
