However, it is essential that research, especially on the social benefits of education, make further progress to make cost-benefit more analysis. There is a need for more research on the effects of policy interventions on outcomes beyond access to a year in school and what they earn as a result, such as on what children actually learn. Such research should focus on ensuring that the interventions are attributable to outcomes. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile to go through the discipline of noting the benefits and costs, even if social rates of return cannot be calculated robustly.CC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTACADEMIC PERFORMANCEACCESS TO PRIMARY EDUCATIONACCOUNTINGAGE-EARNINGSAGE-EARNINGS PROFILEAGE-EARNINGS PROFILESAVERAGE EDUCATIONAL LEVELAVERAGE SCHOOLINGBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATION LEVELBENEFITS OF EDUCATIONBOOK PROVISIONBUDGET FOR EDUCATIONCALCULATIONCALCULATIONSCAPITAL EXPENDITURECASH TRANSFERSCHECKSCHILD EDUCATIONCHILD LABORCIVIL SERVICE PAY SCALESCLASS SIZECLASSROOMCLASSROOM FURNITURECOGNITIVE SKILLSCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPARATIVE EDUCATIONCOMPULSORY EDUCATIONCOMPULSORY SCHOOLINGCONTRIBUTIONCONTRIBUTIONSCOST INCREASESCREDITSCURRICULAR REFORMCURRICULUM REVISIONCURRICULUMSCYCLE OF POVERTYDIRECT COSTDIRECT COSTSDISABILITIESDISCOUNT RATEDISCOUNT RATESDISTANCE EDUCATIONDROPOUT RATESEARLY LEARNINGEARNINGSECONOMIC ANALYSISEDUCATION CURRICULUMEDUCATION DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION ECONOMICSEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION INVESTMENTSEDUCATION OUTCOMESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROGRAMEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION PROJECTSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL BUDGETSEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL OUTCOMESEDUCATIONAL QUALITYEDUCATORSEFFECTS OF EDUCATIONELEMENTARY EDUCATIONELEMENTARY SCHOOLSENROLLMENT TARGETSFEDERAL RESERVEFINANCIAL INCENTIVESFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTGIRLSGLOBAL CAMPAIGN FOR EDUCATIONHEAD TEACHERHIGH DROPOUTHIGH RATES OF TEACHER ABSENTEEISMHIGHER EDUCATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCENTIVE PROGRAMSINCOMEINDIRECT COSTSINDIVIDUAL LEARNINGINSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALSINTERVENTIONSINVESTINGINVESTMENT ANALYSISINVESTMENT DECISIONINVESTMENT IN EDUCATIONINVESTMENTS IN EDUCATIONJOB SEARCHJOB TRAININGJUNIOR SECONDARYJUNIOR SECONDARY EDUCATIONKNOWLEDGE GAPSLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLEARNING ENVIRONMENTLEARNING OUTCOMESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFE SPANLIFELONG LEARNINGLIFETIMELITERACYLITERACY RATELOW COSTLOW-INCOMELOWER INCOMELOWER LEVELS OF EDUCATIONMAINTENANCE COSTSMATHPARENTAL EDUCATIONPRESCHOOL EDUCATIONPRESENT VALUEPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY LEVELPRIMARY LEVELSPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDRENPRIMARY SCHOOL CONSTRUCTIONPRIMARY SCHOOL-AGED CHILDRENPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIVATE SCHOOLPRIVATE SCHOOLINGPRIVATE SCHOOLSPROBABILITYPRODUCTIVITYPROVISION OF TEXTBOOKSPUBLIC ECONOMICSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC SCHOOLSPUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLSPUBLISHERSRADIORADIO INSTRUCTIONRADIO MATHEMATICSRATE OF RETURNRATE OF RETURNSRATES OF RETURNRATES OF RETURN TO EDUCATIONREADINGRECURRENT COSTSREGRESSION ANALYSISREMEDIAL EDUCATIONRESERVE BANKRESOURCE MATERIALSRETURNS TO EDUCATIONRURAL AREASRURAL STUDENTSSALARIESSANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOLARSHIPSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL COMMITTEESSCHOOL CONSTRUCTIONSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FACILITIESSCHOOL GRADUATESCHOOL LEAVERSSCHOOL MANAGEMENTSCHOOL MEALSSCHOOL PARTICIPATIONSCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL REFORMSCHOOL STUDENTSSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOLINGSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTSSENIORSOCIAL BENEFITSSOCIAL BENEFITS OF EDUCATIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSTAKEHOLDERSSTUDENT DROPOUTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT-TEACHER RATIOTEACHERTEACHER ABSENTEEISMTEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHINGTEXTBOOKTEXTBOOKSTOTAL COSTTRANSACTIONTUITIONTYPES OF INVESTMENTSUNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOUCHER PROGRAMVOUCHER PROGRAMSWAGEWAGESWORKBOOKSWORKING LIFEYOUNG PEOPLEYOUNG WOMENWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-4568
