"This booklet takes up the two-fold challenge of establishing the linkages between educational quality and national economic productivity, and then identifying those aspects of educational reform that are most likely to deliver enhanced levels of educational quality. The booklet presents arguments in favour of improved teacher quality as the key pathway to improved student performance ? and offers sound advice concerning the planning and timeframe required to develop and evaluate progress towards a more effective teaching force."-- p. 4.

This paper presents an overview and interpretation of the literature relating school quality to students' subsequent labor market success. We begin with a simple theoretical model that describes the determination of schooling and earnings with varying school quality. A key insight of the model is that changes in school quality may affect the characteristics of individuals who choose each level of schooling, imparting a potential selection bias to comparisons of earnings conditional on education. We then summarize the literature that relates school resources to students' earnings and educational attainment. A variety of evidence suggests that students who were educated in schools with more resources tend to earn more and have higher schooling. We also discuss two important issues in the literature: the tradeoffs involved in using school-level versus more aggregated (district or state-level) quality measures; and the evidence on school quality effects for African Americans educated in the segregated school systems of the South.
