Abstract
There has been several research studies and articles on foreign aid for education which predominantly deliberates on the aspects that really works effectively in favor of aid and on the points which indicate the main reasons for the failures of such education aid initiatives. In fact, studies have abundantly shown that these foreign aids for education have made positive contributions to the education aid-recipient nations specifically in terms of enhancing the enrolment percentages under the basic education levels. However, there is also strong evidence on the existence of a wide gap on what the aid does to the nation and what it is intended to possibly achieve specifically in terms of the quality of education anticipated to be achieved. Overall findings of the research studies suggest that interventions are more effective at improving student performance and learning when social norms and intertemporal choices are factored in the design of educational policies and when two or more drivers of change are combined.
