尽管发展中国家的入学率迅速增长,但人们对儿童接受教育的质量表示严重关切。在许多发展中国家,最近的学习评估显示,儿童无法发展基本的算术和文学技能。这些低水平的学习是一些相互关联的因素造成的,其中许多因素反映了教育系统多个层次的问责水平低。在本文中,我记录了发展中国家面临的主要教育挑战,包括教师和学校管理缺乏问责制。我还回顾了最近的文献,记录了旨在解决这些问责问题的干预措施的有效性。最后,我评估市场的潜力,以改善发展中国家教育部门的问责制。
Despite the rapid growth in enrollment rates across the developing world, there are major concerns about the quality of education that children receive. Across numerous developing countries, recent learning assessments have revealed that children are not able to develop basic numeracy and literary skills. These low levels of learning are the result of a number of interrelated factors, many of which reflect the low levels of accountability across multiple levels of the education system. In this paper, I document the main education challenges facing developing countries, including the lack of accountability among teachers and school management. I also review recent literature that documents the effectiveness of interventions aimed at addressing these accountability issues. Finally, I assess the potential for the market to improve accountability in the education sector in developing countries.
