Despite education’s ability to drive economic growth and development, low education quality and low levels of educational attainment are widespread globally, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South and West Asia due to low pay, poor facilities, and arbitrary location assignments that lead to high levels of teacher absenteeism.
The study will track teacher and student attendance and performance over time in one district in Uganda and will impact 95,000 students over two years, helping determine whether incentivized transfer schemes are an effective way to improve the quality of education.
