“…Private schools are also found to be of better quality -they are more effective than government schools in impacting mathematics and literacy skills. Khan and Kiefer (2007) postulate that NGO schools perform dramatically better than government or private schools in rural Pakistan (details of this study are given in the latter part of this section). Alderman et al (2001), conducted household-level and school-level surveys.…”

These schools are well-known for their effectiveness in closing gender gap in primary school enrolment. On the other hand, registered non-government secondary madrasas (or Islamic schools) today enrol one girl against every boy student. In this paper, we document a positive spillover effect of BRAC schools on female secondary enrolment in registered madrasas. Drawing upon school enrolment data aggregated at the region level, we first show that regions that had more registered madrasas experienced greater secondary female enrolment growth during 1999-2003, holding the number of secular secondary schools constant. In this context we test the impact of BRAC-run primary schools on female enrolment in registered madrasas. We deal with the potential endogeneity of placement of BRAC schools using instrumental variable approach. Controlling for factors such as local-level poverty, road access and distance from major cities, we show that regions with a greater presence of BRAC schools have higher female enrolment growth in secondary madrasas. The effect is much bigger when compared to that on secondary schools. Terms of use: Documents in D I S C U S S I O N P A P E R S E R I E SJEL Classification: I21, Z12, O12, O15
