This volume is devoted to an assessment of the performance and
selected aspects of the management and pedagogical practices of Fe
y Alegria, a federation of Jesuit schools serving approximately one
million children in 20 countries, mostly in Latin America. Many
observers consider Fe y Alegria a successful organization, but very
few rigorous evaluations have been conducted. The available
quantitative evidence suggests that the federation's schools often
do reach the poor, and that students in Fe y Alegria schools tend
to perform as well on test scores, if not slightly better, than
comparable students in other schools. Qualitative data and case
studies suggest that the factors that lead to good performance are
complex and related not only to the types of 'inputs' or resources
used by the schools in the education process, but also to the
management of these resources and the ability to implement and test
innovative programs. Other factors that support this argument
include the capacity and fl exibility to implement and test
innovative programs that take into account the local realities.
This volume will be of interest to researchers, policy makers, and
practitioners working on education and public-private partnerships,
and especially to those interested in what is now commonly being
referred to as the 'science of delivery.'
