Do Value Added Estimates Add Value? Accounting for Learning DynamicsValue-added strategies must account for learning dynamics. Doing so significantly alters the results for public and private schools in Pakistan.
Students Today, Teachers Tomorrow? Identifying constraints on Private Schools
This paper focuses on the availability of low cost, female, government educated teachers and the resulting ability of private schools to offer affordable education.
A Dime a Day: The Possibilities and Limits of Private Schooling in Pakistan
Using new data, we document the phenomenal rise of the private sector in Pakistan and show that an increasing segment of children enrolled in private schools are from rural areas and from middle-class and poorer families. [Forthcoming, Comparative Education Review, August 2008]
Learning Levels and Gaps in Pakistan
Absolute learning is low compared to curricular standards and international norms, and the largest gaps are between good and bad schools.
Religious School Enrollment in Pakistan: A Look at the Data
Bold assertions have been made in policy reports and popular articles on the high and increasing enrollment in Pakistani religious schools, commonly known as madrassas. [Published in Comparative Education Review. Winner of the George Bereday Award for Outstanding Paper of the Year.]
Madrassa Metrics: The Statistics and Rhetoric of Religious Enrollment in Pakistan
Although consensus on deep determinants of terrorism still eludes us, Islamic religious schools are widely cited as an important contributor to extremism. This paper takes a critical look at data on school enrollment in Pakistan to discover whether parents are increasingly sending the vast majority of their children to madrassas. Forthcoming in Beyond Crisis: A Critical Second Look at Pakistan, Routledge.
The Rise of Private Schooling in Pakistan: Catering to the Urban Elite or Educating the Rural Poor?
Contrary to expectations, private schools are not an urban elite phenomenon. Not only are they prevalent in rural areas but also are affordable to middle and even low income groups. [old version of "A Dime a Day" paper with additional graphs]
