Education in Sub-Saharan Africa: Comparing Faith-Inspired, Private
Secular, and Public Schools is part of the World Bank Studies
series. These papers are published to communicate the results of
the Bank s ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion. The
purpose of this study is to build a stronger evidence base on the
role of faith-inspired, private secular, and public schools in
sub-Saharan Africa using nationally representative household
surveys as well as qualitative data. Six main fi ndings emerge from
the study: 1. Across a sample of 16 countries, the average market
share for faith-inspired schools is at 10 15 percent, and the
market share for private secular schools is of a similar order of
magnitude. 2. On average, faith-inspired schools do not reach the
poor more than other groups; they also do not reach the poor more
than public schools, but they do reach the poor signifi cantly more
than private secular schools. 3. The cost of faith-inspired schools
for households is higher than that of public schools, possibly
because of a lack of access to public funding, but lower than that
of private secular schools. 4. Faith-inspired and private secular
schools have higher satisfaction rates among parents than public
schools. 5. Parents using faith-inspired schools place a stronger
emphasis on religious education and moral values. 6. Students in
faith-inspired and private secular schools perform better than
those in public schools, but this may be due in part to
self-selection."
