| Summary: | This note attempts to identify the
factors associated with differences in overall school
performance and efficiency. It draws on data from the
Philippines Public Education Expenditure Tracking and
Quantitative Service Delivery Study (PETS-QSDS), which
tracked public education spending and assessed the quality
of the systems governing the use of these funds. The note
also draws on the findings from other policy notes in this
series to identify the key factors that determine the links
between public spending and education outcomes. The note
found that school performance is related to several of these
key factors including school governance and school
infrastructure. It also found that student and school
characteristics, school-level accountability mechanisms, and
some teacher characteristics are associated with how
efficiently schools can convert their financial, physical,
and human resources into improved education outcomes.
However, given the limitations of using cross-sectional
data, the findings are not strong, and factors associated
with good performance tend to vary a lot according to the
level of education and the performance measures that were
being analyzed. While more rigorous research is needed, the
policy note provides tentative evidence that the factors
often associated with better performance are not functioning
effectively in the Philippines. |
