• Impacts of the Universal Primary Education Policy on Educational Attainment and Private Costs in Rural Uganda. (2008, methodology): “were only a transitional phenomenon (Deininger, 2003), the UPE policy has not yet established timely entries into primary school.”
• Revisiting Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) in Ghana (2009, background): “Studies show that lowering the cost of schooling reduces the wealth bias that characterises access to primary education, and in particular, reduces the incidence of costrelated dropouts from primary school (Deininger 2003; de Kemp 2008).”
• Does Greater Accountability Improve the Quality of Public Service Delivery? Evidence from Uganda (2005, background): “Note that the reference period for improvements asked for in the survey (i.e., 1998–2002) includes the abolition of health user fees but not the initiation of the Universal Primary Education program in 1996.”
• Determinants of Schooling for Boys and Girls in Nigeria Under a Policy of Free Primary Education (2009, unknown): “Instead researchers use proxies for school cost such as distance to school (King & Lillard, 1987), the presence of free primary education (FPE) policies (Deininger, 2003), or community-level prices (Glick & Sahn, 2006).”
• Social rights and economics: claims to health care and education in developing countries (2003, unknown): “When Uganda abolished user charges in schools, enrollments increased far beyond expectations because the move established a new norm that everyone deserves to go to school (Deininger, 2003; Economist, 2001).”
