| dc.description.abstract | This paper estimates the impacts of opening a preprimary in rural communities on
primary school progression in Guatemala. Using administrative school-level data from
1992 to 2006 and a difference-in-difference approach, this paper exploits a large-scale
construction program that increased the number of preprimaries in Guatemala from 4,200
to 7,000 between 1998 and 2005. Results indicate that opening a preprimary increases
first grade promotion rate by 2.4 percentage points (4.5 percent of the baseline level) in
the first grade though no statistically significant impacts are found for second and third
grade. The effects are more pronounced for females. Impacts are modest compared to the
previous evidence from more developed countries. | |
