The Urban and Rural Fellowship School Experiments in Pakistan: Design, Evaluation, and Sustainability
PRIVATE SCHOOLS FOR THE POOR. Balochistan Province in Pakistan initiated two pilot programs attempting to induce the creation of private schools for the poor. A new study reviews the factors which led to the success of this initiative in urban areas and relative failure in rural areas. These factors include the larger supplies of children not served by government schools, the better availability of teachers, and more educated parents in urban than in rural communities. The use of experienced school operators in the urban pilot was another critical difference. All urban schools appear self sustaining or else require a modest subsidy, whereas only one rural school may survive as a private school.
