This book is the result of a project Jointly conducted by the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) in France and the Improving the Efficiency of Education Systems (IEES) project in America. It involves a synthesis of the lessons learned from recent experience and research in collecting, analysing and using- quantitative information in decision-making at various levels of the educational system in the context of developing countnes. Four national case studies have been included: Chile, Haiti, Mauritius and Toco. Each study gives particular emphasis to the human factors and non-monetary incentives that operate to encourage and sustain the use of information. In addition, five issue papers have been included in which leading educational development specialists consider ways that improving education information systems can contribute to enhancing the quality and efficiency of education. The conclusions to the book propose an elaborate acenda for research and training essential to the continued development of information systems and to extending the use of systematically collected data in decision-making.

Issues dealt with include: the theory underlying estimation of the rate of return to investment in education; methods of calculation; theoretical and practical criticisms of its use in educational provision; and a summary of the results of cost-benefit studies in nearly 100 countries.
