Fe y Alegria is a catholic network of
schools that started operations in Colombia in 1971, and in
2009 served more than 72,000 students in 61 schools. This
paper assesses the performance of Fe y Alegria secondary
schools in Colombia using test scores for Spanish and
mathematics, as well as detailed information on the
characteristics of the household to which students belong.
Simple statistics suggest that Fe y Alegria schools perform
worse than other schools for all years in the sample.
However, Fe y Alegria schools also cater to poorer students
who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Once controls are
included for student background, Fe y Alegria schools
actually often perform as well and in some cases better than
other schools for mathematics and Spanish, thus partially
reversing the previous finding. |
