实行免费初等教育提高了许多发展中国家的小学入学率，但由此造成的学校人满为患和几乎没有准备的学生涌入给政策制定者带来了新的挑战。研究人员评估了三种干预措施，它们解决了肯尼亚学校系统中的大班额和学生准备工作的异质性问题。他们发现，雇佣更多的当地合同制教师有助于减少教室过度拥挤，并改善学生的学习结果。最大的收获出现在地方学校委员会被授权监督招聘过程和有效监督教师，以及班级结构针对学生最初的成绩水平进行教学时。
The introduction of free primary education has raised primary school enrollment in many developing countries, but the resulting overcrowding of schools and influx of students with little preparation poses new challenges to policymakers. Researchers evaluated three interventions that addressed the large class sizes and heterogeneity in student preparation in the Kenyan school system. They found that hiring additional local contract teachers helped reduce classroom overcrowding and improved student learning outcomes. The biggest gains came when local school committees were empowered to oversee the recruitment process and to effectively monitor teachers, and when classes were structured to target instruction to students’ initial achievement level.
