Promoting Girls Education in Kenya

This report is meant to provide a detailed assessment of the WISER Bridge program in Muhuru Bay. The first part documents the incredible success the program has made in increasing KCPE scores for both boys and girls in the participating schools, and provides direct feedback from students and teachers who explained why these changes had come about. Teaching quality has improved through WISER Bridge's pay-for-performance technique because teachers are being given financial incentives, being held accountable, being rewarded and recognized for good work and punished for poor work, and being motivated through seminars and free teacher training.
