| description |
This paper examines the monetary
benefits and costs of the quantity of public schooling (that
is, years of schooling completed) in Ghana. The paper also
examines the monetary benefits and costs of some aspects of
the quality of public schooling, measured by the gains in
achievement produced by selected interventions in public
schools. The analysis uses estimates of (i) labor-earnings
returns to schooling and private spending on public
schooling, based on the latest national household sample
survey data; (ii) government spending on public schooling,
based on administrative information; (iii) impacts on test
scores, and costs, of education interventions in public
schools, drawn from experimental studies; and (iv)
conversions of impacts on test scores produced by education
interventions to (future) labor earnings, all for Ghana. The
results are a set of benefit-cost ratios in the style of the
Copenhagen Consensus. |
