PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND FAITH-INSPIRED SCHOOLS IN GHANA: A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT

Pages 51-60 | Published online: 10 Jun 2014
 

Notes

1 This article is based in part on a World Bank study (see Wodon Citation20014). The authors are with the World Bank; however, the opinions expressed in this article are those of the authors only and do not necessarily represent those of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent.

2 Rates of disability as measured in household surveys such as the CWIQ tends to be underestimated, with estimates of the population with a disability typically in the range of two to three percent, while it has been suggested based on other more detailed data that also capture less severe forms of disability that the proportion of people with disabilities might be much higher, at up to 10 percent in many countries. Yet, for the point of view of the analysis carried here, even if the incidence of disability is indeed underestimated, one can still measure differences in enrollment by school types between those declaring a disability in the survey.
