Existing (limited) evidence shows that SBM can lead to higher efficiency
and test scores, under certain circumstances, but the mechanisms
through which this would occur are not always clear
Some new evidence available on secondary level see for instance new
studies on PISA and TIMSS [Example 2].
[more general, however, focused on autonomy by functional area more than
SBM per se]

Note: A negative sign implies positive impact on input efficiency; a positive sign implies positive impact on output efficiency. In bold, significant
coefficients: * 10%; ** 5%; *** 1%.
SBM can lead to higher efficiency and quality but impact depends
on functional area, which, in turn, depends on regional and
country specificities institutions, capacity
2.
SBM is successful in poor rural areas for communitybased simple management processes (see Central
America). However, for more complex schooling
processes, need to accompany SBM with effective
capacity building
Existing evidence points to the need for more contextspecific country studies, where role of socio-economic
and institutional context can be better assessed
