Using randomised trials, nonetheless? I can't imagine how to do one.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973545401764553762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18156735.post-50283593726674274542008-12-20T23:16:00.000+07:002008-12-20T23:16:00.000+07:00maybe what is needed is to find out return to inve...maybe what is needed is to find out return to investment...or how much the benefit of financing per dollar in the long run.<BR/><BR/>My hunch is the most needy (poor people, remote area, unqualified teachers etc) will give the highest benefit.<BR/><BR/>But it is an empirical question that need to be studied empirically.

But in a reality, it is not not only depend on budget alocation like you said, but also moral hazard and indonesian style transaction cost he2.. Whether the budget will be used as purposes or not.. <BR/>I am agree with your idea to improve the quality of primary education, especially in the remote region..<BR/>I think the rest money is also huge enough to improve the quality of higher education in the province level.. <BR/>Personally, It will better if we alocate money to improve the quality of higher education according international with strong Research activities and close collaboration with industry as new engine for indonesian economic growth rather than create number international standard primary school (for what?)<BR/>Give the responsibility to create international standard primary school to local goverment and private sector, national government only need to provide comfort environment to it. <BR/>National government should focus to create equal access and quality of SD, SMP and SMA to ensure everybody have same opportunity to got education.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293929009195285176noreply@blogger.com
