The Impact

We study the impact of providing school report cards with test scores on subsequent test scores, prices, and enrollment in markets with multiple public and private providers. A randomly selected half of our sample villages (markets) received report cards. This increased test scores by 0.11 standard deviations, decreased private school fees by 17 percent, and increased primary enrollment by 4.5 percent. Heterogeneity in the treatment impact by initial school test scores is consistent with canonical models of asymmetric information. Information provision facilitates better comparisons across providers, and improves market efficiency and child welfare through higher test scores, higher enrollment, and lower fees.

The Impact

We examine the impact of the Kenyan Free Primary Education program on student participation, sorting, and achievement on the primary school exit examination. Exploiting variation in pre-program dropout rates between districts, we find that the program increased the number of students who completed primary school, spurred private school entry, and increased access for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. We argue that the program was welfare enhancing as it promoted educational access without substantially reducing the test scores of students who would have been in school in the absence of the program.

In this study; It is aimed to examine the effects of distance education on preschool children. In this study, a case study based on qualitative data made with semi-structured interview technique was conducted by the preschool teachers of children who went to the preschool institution to examine the effect of distance education on children, and analyzed by content analysis method. In the study conducted in the COVID-19 epidemic period in the 2019-2020 spring period, the teachers of the students going to public and private schools were interviewed from afar. When other results obtained from the study are analyzed, 35 pre-school teachers participated in the study and the majority of the study consists of women between the ages of 30 and 35. The majority of the participants are undergraduate graduates, and it is stated that they work in a private school and are also teachers for 6 years or more. In addition, while it was stated that distance education is inefficient compared to face to face education, it was determined that the biggest problem in the distance education process was communication. It has been found that the greatest contribution of distance education in the pandemic process is that it ensures that children do not leave education.

Abstract We present experimental evidence on the impact of a school choice program in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh that provided students with a voucher to finance attending a private school of their choice. The study design featured a unique two-stage lottery-based allocation of vouchers that created both student-level and market-level experiments, which allows us to study the individual and the aggregate effects of school choice (including spillovers). After two and four years of the program, we find no difference between test scores of lottery winners and losers on Telugu (native language), math, English, and science/social studies, suggesting that the large cross-sectional differences in test scores across public and private schools mostly reflect omitted variables. However, private schools also teach Hindi, which is not taught by the public schools, and lottery winners have much higher test scores in Hindi. Furthermore, the mean cost per student in the private schools in our sample was less than a third of the cost in public schools. Thus, private schools in this setting deliver slightly better test score gains than their public counterparts (better on Hindi and same in other subjects), and do so at a substantially lower cost per student. Finally, we find no evidence of spillovers on public school students who do not apply for the voucher, or on private school students, suggesting that the positive effects on voucher winners did not come at the expense of other students.

Online Learning and Modular Learning Modalities are being utilized by the Department of Education to continue the learning process during COVID -19 pandemic. The study has employed Mixed method to determine the problems and challenges of both public and private school teachers in utilizing online and modular learning modality. Interviews revealed that each sector has a problem in internet connectivity. Specifically, public school teachers are being challenged by the scarce resources of the students and unresponsive parents. Private school teachers are being challenged by the lack of training on the different online platforms for online teaching and learning process and assessment of learning this new normal. U- Test revealed that the challenges experienced by public and private school teachers in delivering distance learning are essentially the same. Moreover, it can be said that the type of school where a teacher works has no bearing with the challenges that he or she may encounter.

The Impact

Starting in 2002, the UK Labour government of 1997-2010 introduced a series of changes to the National Health Service (NHS) in England designed to increase individual NHS patient choice of place of elective hospital care and competition among public and private providers of elective hospital services for NHS-funded patients. In 2006, the Department of Health initiated the Health Reform Evaluation Programme (HREP) to assess the impact of the changes. The changes broadly had the effects that proponents had predicted but the effects were mostly modest. Most of the undesirable impacts feared by critics appeared not to have materialized to any discernible extent, at least by early in 2010. Labour's market appeared to have generated stronger incentives for quality and efficiency than its 1990s predecessor with no obvious detriment to equity of access. However, this high level conclusion conceals a far more nuanced and complex picture of both the process of implementation and the impact of the changes, as the papers in this supplement drawn from the HREP show.

Pandemi melanda dunia hampir setahun lamanya. Virus covid-19 menyebar secara global tak terkecuali indonesia. Dampak dari pandemi juga dirasakan oleh guru. Guru honorer/guru tidak tetap yang bekerja pada beberapa sekolah negeri maupun swasta, sampai saat ini belum memiliki standar gaji yang menitikberatkan pada bobot jam pelajaran. Guru honorer memang menghadapi kenyataan yang memprihatinkan, mulai dari tingkat pengahasilan yang tidak menentu, para guru honorer sama sekali tidak memperoleh tunjangan-tunjangan yang disediakan oleh pemerintah sebagaimana para guru pegawai negeri sipil (PNS). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif fenomenologis Subjek penelitian ini terdiri dari 2 guru di salah satu sekolah swasta di kabupaten Sumenep yang sudah menjadi guru honorer lebih dari 10 tahun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dinamika resiliensi pada guru honorer dapat didukung oleh beberapa faktor dalam terbentuknya resiliensi yang tinggi, diantaranya dukungan dari orang terdekat, baik dari pihak keluarga, teman sejawat, kemampuan social skill yang baik, serta religiusitas yang tinggi berupa niat yang murni untuk ibadah bukan untuk mencari keuntungan dari mengajar.[The pandemic swept the world for almost a year. The covid-19 virus spreads globally, including in Indonesia. Teachers also felt the impact of the pandemic. Honorary teachers / non-permanent teachers who work in several public and private schools, so far, do not yet have a standard salary that focuses on weighted lesson hours. Honorary teachers do face a worrying reality, starting from the level of unpredictable income, honorary teachers do not get the allowances provided by the government as do civil servant teachers (PNS). This study used a phenomenological qualitative research method. The subjects of this study consisted of 2 teachers in a private school in Sumenep district who had been honorary teachers for more than 10 years. The results showed that the dynamics of resilience in honorary teachers can be supported by several factors in the formation of high resilience, including support from closest people, both from the family, peers, good social skills, and high religiosity in the form of a pure intention to worship instead of to profit from teaching].
