Thanks for the great discussion so far. A question for Jaime: imagine you were still Minister of Education in Peru today and the Global Education Evidence Advisory panel has just released their recommendation on “Smart Buys”. Would you use this and how?

In Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria where less than 5% of nurseries are public, expanding access to pre-primary educ for 0-4 year in olds may result in widening inequality in access gap between ‘rich’ and poor parents who enrol their children at age 1 in private sch, & poor parents who enrol at age 4 in public KG . We must ensure policies to expand pre-primary are public centred & not private, as fees will exclude majority.

Very useful report. Thanks. Seems like Girls Education Challenge compares well in general to the evidence. Literacy is not given much prominence in the report, although it is described as one of they key ways that the report measures effectiveness. Could panel say more about the Best Buy of focussing on foundational literacy and numeracy?
