This paper estimates the short-term,
partial-equilibrium impacts of a public-private partnership
program for low-cost private secondary schools in Uganda.
The public-private partnership program is part of a broader
strategy to absorb large increases in secondary enrollment
following the introduction of universal secondary education.
Under the program, the government offers a per-student
subsidy to participating private schools. Program
implementation allowed for a randomized phase-in study
design to estimate the causal impacts of the program on
private school performance. The study finds that the
public-private partnership program helped absorb large
numbers of eligible students in secondary schools. Student
performance in participating private schools was
significantly better than in nonparticipating private
schools. The study finds that improved student performance
is potentially linked to increased input availability, as
well as positive selection of government aided students in
private schools. Suggestive evidence indicates that this
selection most likely occurs on the part of households
rather than schools. |
