Countries across Africa continue to face major challenges in education. In this review, we examine 142 recent empirical studies (from 2014 onward) on how to increase access to and improve the quality of education across the continent, specifically examining how these studies update previous research findings. We find that more than half of the studies evaluate government implemented programs, about one-third include detailed cost analysis, and one quarter evaluate multiple treatment arms. We identify several areas where new studies provide rigorous evidence on topics that do not figure prominently in earlier evidence syntheses. New evidence shows promising impacts of structured pedagogy interventions (which typically provide a variety of inputs, such as lesson plans and training for teachers together with new materials for students) and of mother tongue instruction interventions, as well as from a range of teacher programs, including both remunerative (pay-for-performance of various designs) and non-remunerative (coaching and certain types of training) programs. School feeding delivers gains in both access and learning. New studies also show long-term positive impacts of eliminating school fees for primary school and positive impacts of eliminating fees in secondary school. Education technology interventions have decidedly mixed impacts, as do school grant programs and programs providing individual learning inputs (e.g., uniforms or textbooks). www.cgdev.org David K.

非洲教育:我们在学习什么?

非洲各国继续面临教育方面的重大挑战。在这篇综述中,我们研究了 142 项最近的实证研究(从 2014 年开始),关于如何增加整个非洲大陆的教育机会和提高教育质量,特别是研究这些研究如何更新以前的研究结果。我们发现,超过一半的研究评估了政府实施的计划,大约三分之一包括详细的成本分析,四分之一评估了多种治疗手段。我们确定了几个领域,在这些领域中,新研究为早期证据综合中没有突出显示的主题提供了严格的证据。新证据表明结构化教学干预(通常提供各种投入、例如教师的课程计划和培训以及学生的新材料)和母语教学干预,以及一系列教师计划,包括有偿(各种设计的绩效付费)和无偿(教练和某些类型的培训)计划。学校供餐在获取和学习方面都有收获。新的研究还表明,取消小学学费的长期积极影响和取消中学学费的积极影响。教育技术干预的影响显然是混合的,学校拨款计划和提供个人学习投入的计划(例如,制服或教科书)也是如此。www.cgdev.org David K.
