The Distribution of Primary School Quality within High- and Low-Income Countries.

Heyneman, Stephen P.; Loxley, William A.

Comparative Education Review, v27 n1 p108-18 Feb 1983

Quality of schools is a critical resource in the production of school achievement, individual and national. Countries with a scarcity of resources (transportation, administration, and management) would be expected to perform worse in distributing any resource, especially one of such complexity as school quality, but this does not seem to occur.
