Abstract:

This work helps to provide useful evidence to obtain an increase of the school coverage during baccalaureate cycle (middle education) from Ecuador. The proposal is based on an effectiveness-cost analysis from two alternatives: Information campaigns about returns to education and Conditioned Transferences in cash. Both policies would have a positive impact on the scholar existence in the baccalaureate cycle. This study let infer that in Ecuadorian case, and on different established stages, the Information Campaign alternative is more effective-cost than the alternative based on Conditioned Transferences in cash. Results show that the additional annual cost of scholarity for the case of Information Campaigns represents the 22% and 24% of the resulting cost from the Conditioned Transferences with focusing and universal transference respectively.
