Pre-School Attendance and Primary Education Proficiency in Brazil Meeting on Early Childhood - An Integrated Approach: Economics, Education, and the Neurosciences, FGV, Rio de Janeiro, December 2009 Sergio Calderini EAESP/FGV André Portela Souza EESP/FGV

Objective Estimate the impact of attending a pre- school on math and portuguese proficiency of 4th grader students in Brazil. Discuss the importance of pre-school supply as a public policy tool to improve quality of education in Brazil

Outline 1.Motivation 2.Some facts of pre-school attendance in Brazil 3.The Dataset 4.The Model and Specification 5.The Results 6.Cost-Benefit Analysis

Motivation I There are international evidences that early interventions on education can have lasting effects on cognitive and non-cognitive abilities later in life. Particularly, it may have some impact on learning and other human capital dimensions.

Motivation II Brazilian students present lower proficiency performance comparatively to students in other countries.

2003 PISA Evidence

OECD Brazil Mexico Pisa 2003: Math Proficiency

Motivation II Brazil spends relatively less resources in pre- school students compared to higher level students. This relative difference is greater in Brazil compared to other countries.

Pre-school attendance in Brazil

The Dataset 2005 Prova Brazil Math and Portuguese Proficiency Exam 4th and 8th Grade Students All urban public school with at least 30 students in the corresponding grade

The Dataset Used All 4th graders with valid information on proficiency, pre-school attendance and demographic and economic variables. From all Ten years old in 2005 PNAD: –98,5% attend school –80% arein urban areas –Among those that attend school, 85% are in public schools.

Pre-School Attendance

Math Proficiency – 4th Graders

Portuguese Proficiency – 4th Graders

Summary Fourth graders that declared to have attended pre-schools –Have, on average, greater test scores on math and portuguese –Are more likely to not be delayed in school

The Model Pre-school attendance can have a direct effect on learning in the 4th grade (e.g., through habit formation and abilities acquired that are important during the 4th grade) Pre-school attendance can affect the chance of a child to be delayed in the 4th grade which in turn can affect the performance in the 4th grade

The Model y = test scores PS = pre-school attendance indicator variable D = Delay indicator variable X = vectoe of other controls including family background v = non-observable characteristics

The Specification N = number of pre-schools per 10 Four to Six year olds in the municipality in when a child was Five years old Sem = second semester birth indicator variable

The 4th Graders Groups Corrected AgeDelayed Never Repeated Group A 59% PS: 82% Group C 10% PS: 64% Repeated Group B 10% PS: 69% Group D 21% PS: 64%

An Exercise from Model 3 What happens if the supply of public pre- schools increses by one more pre-school per Ten children? Direct effect on proficiency: –Math: 0,34 x 30,03 = 10,21 –Portuguese: 0,34 x 23,74 = 8,07 Indirect effect through delay: –Math: {-0,0079/0,3404}* (-13,7) = 0,32 –Portuguese: {-0,0079/0,3404}* (15,06) = 0,35

An Exercise from Model 4 What happens if the supply of public pre- schools increses by one more pre-school per Ten children? Direct effect on proficiency: –Math: 0,34 x 31,7 = 10,77 –Portuguese: 0,34 x 21,3 = 7,24 Indirect effect through delay: –Math: {-0,0155/0,2455}* (-13,6) = 0,85 –Portuguese: {-0,0079/0,3404}* (15,14) = 0,95

Conclusions Pre-school has impact on 4th graders’ proficiency The supply of pre-school has a positive impact on the likelihood to a child attendapre-school A policy of an expansion of school supply may not have a sizeble impact
