Young Lives Working Paper 91. Teaching Quality Counts: How Student Outcomes Relate to Quality of Teaching in Private and Public Schools in India
Abstract
This mixed-methods paper investigates whether the ‘private school premium’, as manifested in student learning outcomes, is the result of better-quality teaching in private schools. Using school-, community- and household-level data from the Young Lives longitudinal study in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India, this paper makes a detailed comparison of 227 government and private schools attended by the children in the sample.
