Summary of publication
The evaluation covers all aspects of the Samoa School Fee Grant Scheme (SSFGS) since commencement of the programme in 2010 to its completion in June 2015. The purpose of the evaluation was to review progress in achieving the programme's intended outcomes, impact and objectives. It assesses the extent to which the programme had reduced financial barriers to primary school enrolment and had increased retention, whether improved learning outcomes had been achieved through an enhanced quality of education, and if school performance had improved against the Minimum Service Standards.
