Determinants of School Educational Outcomes:School Resources and Incentives
Abstract:
The key objective of this paper is to examine the effect of governance on educational outcomes. Governance will be assessed by the use of incentives embodied in the type of contract used for employing teachers. The indicator for educational outcome is the proportion of students passing the examination at the upper primary level, that is, attaining elementary education. In the Indian context, with the current (unfinished) goal of universal elementary education and a renewed emphasis on achieving this goal since 2001, are more children completing the elementary education cycle, that is, attaining the upper primary level of schooling? What factors facilitate or hamper this attainment? What mechanisms can be developed to overcome binding constraints such as budgetary limits and teacher shortage?
