Abolishing school fees has increased enrollment rates in several countries where enrollments were low and school fees were high. However, such policies may be less effective, or even have negative consequences, when supply-side responses are weak. This paper evaluates the school-level impacts of a tuition waiver program in Haiti, which provided public financing to nonpublic schools conditional on these schools not charging tuition. The paper concludes that a school's participation in the program results in having more students enrolled, more staff, and slightly higher student-teacher ratios. The program also reduces grade repetition and the share of students who are over-age. Although the increase in students at participating schools does not directly equate to a reduction in the number of children out of school, it does demonstrate strong demand from families for the program, and a correspondingly strong supply response from the nonpublic sector.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENCE OF SCHOOLSACCESS TO LEARNINGAGE OF STUDENTSAVERAGE NUMBER OF STUDENTSBINDINGBLACKBOARDSCLASS SIZECLASS-SIZECLASSROOMSCOMMUNITY SCHOOLSCOMPLETION RATESCOSTS OF EDUCATIONDEGREESDELIVERY OF EDUCATIONDELIVERY OF EDUCATION SERVICESDROPOUT RATESEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION INDICATORSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATION SYSTEMENROLLMENT BY GRADEENROLLMENT OF CHILDRENENROLLMENT RATESFEMALE STUDENTSFIRST GRADEFREE PRIMARY EDUCATIONGIRLSGRADE ENROLLMENTGRADE REPETITIONGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESHIGHER ENROLLMENTHIGHER ENROLLMENT RATESHIGHER GRADESINTERVENTIONSLEARNINGLEARNING ENVIRONMENTLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OUTCOMESLITERATUREMALE TEACHERSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL SCHOOLNET ENROLLMENTNET ENROLLMENT RATENONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNUMBER OF SCHOOLSNUMBER OF STUDENTSOPEN ACCESSOUT OF SCHOOL CHILDRENOUT-OF-SCHOOL CHILDRENPAPERSPRIMARY LEVELPRIMARY NET ENROLLMENT RATEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL ACCESSPRIMARY SCHOOL AGEPRIMARY SCHOOL AGE CHILDRENPRIMARY SCHOOL FEESPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIMARY STUDENTSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALITY EDUCATIONRELIGIOUS SCHOOLSREPEATERSREPETITION RATESRURAL AREASSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENTSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL CENSUSSCHOOL CHILDRENSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL MANAGEMENTSCHOOL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEESSCHOOL SIZESCHOOL TEXTBOOKSSCHOOL TUITIONSCHOOL YEARSCHOOL ­ TUITIONSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENTSPORTSSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT PARTICIPATIONSTUDENT POPULATIONSTUDENT POPULATIONSSTUDENT-TEACHER RATIOSTUDENT-TEACHER RATIOSSTUDENTS PER TEACHERTEACHERTEACHER RATIOSTEACHER SALARIESTEACHERSTEACHINGTEXTBOOKSTUITIONTUITION FEESTUITION WAIVERSUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY ENROLLMENTVOUCHERS10.1596/1813-9450-7175
