中文摘要
本文利用新数据研究印度的学校管理与生产率。我们报告五个主要结果。第一, 公立学校的管理质量较低, 比拥有可比数据的高收入国家低约 2 个标准差。第二, 私立学校的管理质量更高, 这主要源于其显著更强的人员管理。第三, 人员管理质量与教学实践的独立测度相关, 也与以学生增加值测度的学校生产率相关。第四, 管理较好的学校, 其校内教师效能的变异更小, 且教师效能的最低水平更高。第五, 与更优的人员管理相一致, 私立学校的教师薪酬与教师效能正相关, 而在公立学校中我们未发现这种相关关系。
Abstract
Abstract This paper uses new data to study school management and productivity in India. We report five main results. First, management quality in public schools is low, and ∼2 standard deviations below high-income countries with comparable data. Second, private schools have higher management quality, driven by much stronger people management. Third, people management quality is correlated with independent measures of teaching practice, as well as school productivity measured by student value added. Fourth, better-managed schools have lower variation in within-school teacher effectiveness and higher levels of minimum teacher effectiveness. Fifth, consistent with better people management, teacher pay in private schools is positively correlated with teacher effectiveness, whereas we find no such correlation in public schools.
