Abstract

The study evaluates benefits of the school meals program versus scholarship programs in primary education in terms of cost effectiveness, impacts on child enrollment, class attendance and students’ abilities to read, write and do math calculations. Further evaluation over time is necessary as results are mixed. Both programs appear to be valuable in terms of child health and class attendance.
