Ganimian, A. J., & Murnane, R. J. (2016). Improving Education in Developing Countries: Lessons From Rigorous Impact Evaluations.Review of Educational Research,86(3), 719–755.https://doi.org/10.3102/0034654315627499This document presents a comprehensive review of 223 rigorous impact evaluations of educational initiatives in developing countries. The authors, Ganimian and Murnane, analyzed studies focusing on interventions in preprimary, primary, and secondary schools across 56 low- and middle-income countries. The review categorizes interventions based on their "theory of action," distinguishing between strategies that increase demand for education versus those that improve the supply of education. Four key lessons emerged: reducing the cost of schooling boosts attendance but not always achievement; information for parents influences actions and achievement; better resources improve achievement if they change daily school experiences; and well-designed incentives enhance teacher effort and student achievement from very low starting points. The article aims to inform policy-makers seeking evidence-based educational strategies and highlights the importance of considering the design, implementation, and context-specific factors when evaluating educational interventions.keepSave to notecopy_alldocsAdd noteaudio_magic_eraserAudio OverviewschoolBriefing doc
