| description | This volume is a systematic stock-taking
of the evidence on school accountability reforms in
developing countries. It provides a measured and insightful
review and assessment of the results of a variety of
approaches that developing countries are experimenting with
in their quest for better schools. It is not the final word
on the subject, but will hopefully contribute to better
policy choices, grounded in the evidence currently
available. This book is about the threats to education
quality that cannot be explained by lack of resources. It
focuses on publicly financed school systems and the
phenomenon of service delivery failures: cases where
programs and policies that increase the inputs to education
fail to produce effective delivery of services where it
counts-in schools and classrooms. It documents what authors
know about the extent and costs of service delivery failures
in public education in the developing world. And it further
develops aspects of the conceptual model posited in the
World development report 2004: that a root cause of
low-quality and inequitable public services-not only in
education-is the weak 'accountability' of
providers to both their supervisors and their clients (World
Bank 2003). The central focus of this book, however, is a
new story. It is that developing countries are increasingly
adopting innovative strategies to attack these issues. |
