4 摘要
ABSTRACT
Developing countries spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year on schools, educational materials
and teachers, but relatively little is known about how effective these expenditures are at increasing
students’ years of completed schooling and, more importantly, the skills that they learn while in school.
This paper examines studies published between 1990 and 2010, in both the education literature and
the economics literature, to investigate which specific school and teacher characteristics, if any, appear
to have strong positive impacts on learning and time in school. Starting with over 9,000 studies, 79
are selected as being of sufficient quality. Then an even higher bar is set in terms of econometric methods
used, leaving 43 “high quality” studies. Finally, results are also shown separately for 13 randomized
trials. The estimated impacts on time in school and learning of most school and teacher characteristics
are statistically insignificant, especially when the evidence is limited to the “high quality” studies.
The few variables that do have significant effects – e.g. availability of desks, teacher knowledge of
the subjects they teach, and teacher absence – are not particularly surprising and thus provide little
guidance for future policies and programs.
