摘要

The focus on impact of education has received less attention than access toeducation not only because access must be established before impact can be evaluated, but also because impact is far more difficult to assess. The paper has two purposes: to explore the evidence that exists worldwide on the impact of girls' education, particularly primary education; and to indicate areas in which impact probably is occurring, especially those areas that have received little or no attention in the literature or that have been studied with methodologies that limit what can be learned. The report also focuses on primary education for a number of reasons. First, in developing countries, the largest number of children enrolled in schools are in the primary grades. Thus, the group most likely to benefit from improved education would be the children in this group. Second, although the numbers of children in primary education are increasing, they have not increased enough. Additional evidence concerning the benefits of primary education may provide governments and policy makers the impetus to make primary education available to a wider audience, and particularly to girls. Third, altohugh it has been well established that primary education has an impact on areas such as family health and infant mortality, additional evidence suggests that primary education affects other areas such as economic productivity, attitudes, women's status, and power not only at home, but also in the community and the society at large.
