Charging User Fees for Social Services: Education in Malawi.
Thobani, Mateen
Comparative Education Review, v28 n3 p402-23 Aug 1984
A partial equilibrium framework (user charges/government subsidy) analyzes optimal user charges for social services. The framework is applied to Malawi's education sector to formulate policy recommendations for solving problems of high student-teacher ratios and drop-out rates. Malawi's school user fees were increased in 1982 based on this framework. (MM)
