Impact of Private Tutoring on Learning Levels: Evidence from India
Published By: Accountability Initiative on eSS | Published Date: April, 01 , 2014Despite widespread and substantial private expenditure on private tutoring outside the
formal school system in many developing countries, not much is known about their effects
on learning outcomes. The main challenge in estimating such an effect is that the decision
to send the child for private tutoring is correlated with unobserved variables which are
also correlated with learning outcomes. This paper utilizes a large household survey conducted in rural India, and employs Fixed
Effect (FE) estimation to control for the effect of unobserved variables.
