| Abstract: | A census and survey of schools in the district of Ga, Ghana, explored the nature and extent of private education, and compared
inputs to public and private schooling. Three quarters of all schools found were private, with almost as many unregistered
private as government schools. Several important differences between registered and unregistered private schools were noted,
including age, fee levels charged, teacher salaries and class size. A range of inputs, such as teacher activity, availability
of desks, chairs, libraries, toilets and drinking water, were used to compare inputs to government, unregistered and registered
private schools. Some conclusions are explored about the potential role for the private sector in helping meet “education
for all” targets. |
