【 摘 要 】

The ultimate financial responsibility for improving educational access, participation, andquality lies with national governments. However, for many countries, particularly the poorest,educational progress depends, to a significant extent, on economic assistance comingfrom bilateral and multilateral donors. This study tries to understand how donors mobilizeand allocate their resources to promote the education sector in the developing world, andto what extent they are successful in doing so. Our primary interest lies in the analysis ofdonor agencies and their behaviours, rather than the situations of education aid recipientcountries. In addition to a chapter for the introduction and another for the conclusion, weassess education aid with the help of three interlinked studies. First, we look at how donorsresource transfers have affected education sector achievements in education aid recipientcountries. Second, we examine how donors commit their education aid resources for educationin developing countries. Third, we present the determinants of the donors efforts (thetotal volume of education aid that a donor country makes available to the all recipients) inproviding foreign aid for the education sector.
