摘要现有的大多数研究发展中国家学校质量决定因素的文献都没有考虑到教师的关键作用。本研究评估教师如何在巴基斯坦旁遮普省的知识获取作出贡献。使用的基线规格是具有三个不同固定效应水平的增益模型。我们发现，教师素质与学生成绩密切相关。增加教师工资可以提高教学质量，招聘当地教师和合同教师也可以提高教学质量。我们的分析还强调了改革培训计划和重新思考工资政策的重要性。
Abstract Most of the existing literature examining the determinants of school quality in developing countries has failed to take into account the crucial role of teachers. This study assesses how teachers contribute to knowledge acquisition in Punjab, Pakistan. The baseline specification used is a gain model with three different levels of fixed effects. We find that teacher quality is strongly correlated with student achievement. Increasing teachers’ wages could improve schooling quality, as could the recruitment of local and contract teachers. Our analysis also underlines the importance of reforming training programmes and re-thinking wage policies.
