Descripción:

School-based management (SBM) has been present in schools around the world for well over three decades. SBM reforms range from those granting full autonomy over all school matters, to smaller-scale reforms that grant schools only limited autonomy. This paper presents a review of the literature and an assessment of the evidence base regarding the effects of school-based management on various educational outcomes. It finds that only a handful of the studies reviewed use strong empirical methods to support their results. A small number of these more rigorous studies support the claims that SBM improves access to schooling and slightly reduces dropout and repetition rates. Evidence on SBM effects on student achievement is mixed.
