Under the Partnership Schools for Liberia (PSL) program, the Government of Liberia delegated management of 93 public schools to eight operators: BRAC, Bridge International Academies, Youth Movement for Collective Action2, More than Me, Omega Schools, Rising Academies, Stella Maris, and Street Child. IPA and the Center for Global Development (CGD) conducted a randomized evaluation to assess the impact of the public-private school partnerships on educational outcomes.
