This report makes the case that lessons from interventions in the health sector can be valuable to the education sector by draws a number of parallels between the health and education sectors; including the challenges of delivering high quality services to users and the common focus on access ahead of quality of services, which doesn’t necessarily lead to an increase in outcomes for users.
