Tóm tắt

Why do some parents send their children to faith-inspired schools (FISs), while others choose to rely on public schools? Within FISs, are the motivations to send a child to a Christian school different from those to send a child to an Islamic school? How well are FISs performing-along various dimensions-according to the students' parents? This article provides tentative answers to those questions using qualitative and small sample data collected in 2010 in Burkina Faso and Ghana.
