Abstract

In an effort to improve the quality of schools, governments around the world have dramatically increased the resources devoted to them.By concentrating on inputs and ignoring the incentives within schools, the resources have yielded little in the way of general improvement in student achievement.This paper provides a review of the United States and international evidence on the effectiveness of such input policies.It then contrasts the impact of resources with that of variations in teacher quality that are not systematically related to school resources.Finally, alternative performance incentive policies are described.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
