{"product_id":"education-in-sub-saharan-africa-quentin-wodon-9780821399651","title":"Education in Sub-Saharan Africa: Comparing Faith-Inspired, Private Secular, and Public Schools","description":"The purpose of this study is to build a stronger evidence base on the role of faith-inspired, private secular, and public schools in sub-Saharan Africa using nationally representative household surveys as well as qualitative data. Six main findings emerge from the study: (1) Across a sample of 16 countries, the average market share for faith-inspired schools is at 10-15 percent, and the market share for private secular schools is of a similar order of magnitude; (2) On average faith-inspired schools do not reach the poor more than other groups; they also do not reach the poor more than public schools, but they do reach the poor significantly more than private secular schools; (3) The cost of faith-inspired schools for households is higher than that of public schools, possibly because of a lack of access to public funding, but lower than that of private secular schools; (4) Faith-inspired and private secular schools have higher satisfaction rates among parents than public schools; (5) Parents using faith-inspired schools place a stronger emphasis on religious education and moral values; and (6) Students in faith-inspired and private schools perform better than those in public schools, but this may be due in part to self-selection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Quentin Wodon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821399659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821399651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Quentin Wodon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435705413887,"sku":"9780821399651","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e26dfc46-4ada-4306-9cac-d71b73624b30.jpg?v=1777152154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/education-in-sub-saharan-africa-quentin-wodon-9780821399651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
