- W633519983 abstract "To date, educational policies have tended to emphasize the supply side overwhelmingly. This resulted in a sufficient number of schools in many countries. But it is now understood that having enough schools does not guarantee full enrollment. Not enrolling in readily accessible schools tends to be especially prevalent among girls. One possible strategy for increasing female participation is to reduce the costs for girls more than for boys, using special scholarships only for girls. This case study focuses on such a scholarship intervention package. The scholarship package is one element of the pilot Eduque a la Nina under the Girls' Education Program of Basic Education Strengthening Project (BEST) in Guatemala. While the pilot also makes use of parent committees and community outreach workers, the most innovative tool in the package is a small scholarship --equivalent to US$4.00-- that is provided to girls enrolled in grades one, two and three in 12 rural communities. The scholarship pilot is couched in a broader set of experimental alternatives, including two other interventions that have no scholarship and a group of comparison communities which did not receive any program. After reviewing problems related to program design, impact, cost and benefits, this paper draws the tentative conclusion that the scholarship program has been effective in raising attendance rates and in reducing the dropout rate. However, the selection of rural communities with the lowest female enrollment rate for program intervention and the absence of baseline information have made it difficult to assess the magnitude of program impact. Moreover, since the pilot only started in 1994, further evaluation efforts are needed before drawing any definitive conclusions." @default.
