This is a Virtual Event.Abstract: We study the effects of a policy that distributed large cash grants through school councils to public schools in rural Pakistan. Using a village-level randomized control trial, we identify the medium-term equilibrium effects of this policy in a marketplace where the private sector is large, and there is substantial school choice. Learning increases in both the public and private sectors.
