ABSTRACT:
Understanding the returns to investing in universal pre-primary
schooling is especially important for the large number of developing
countries who have not yet implemented pre-primary, but are expanding
secondary education. In this paper, we shed some light on this debate by
investigating the effect of a large expansion of universal pre-primary
school on subsequent primary school performance in Argentina. We
estimate that one year of pre-primary school increases average third
grade test scores by 8 percent and a quarter of a standard deviation. We
also find that pre-primary school attendance positively affects
student's self-control in the third grade as measured by attention,
class participation, and discipline.
