Students that graduate from public junior secondary schools, controlling for a variety of other characteristics, score 0.15 to 0.3 standard deviations higher on the national exit exam than comparable privately schooled peers. This finding is robust to OLS, fixed-effects, and instrumental variable estimation strategies. Students attending Muslim private schools, including Madrassahs, fare no worse on average than students attending secular private schools. The results provide indirect evidence that higher quality inputs at public junior secondary schools promote higher test scores. 2012-06-25T15:32:15Z 2012-06-25T15:32:15Z 2005-05 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/05/5796127/effect-school-type-academic-achievement-evidence-indonesia http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8932 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper; No. 3604 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC : World Bank Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific Indonesia
