Abstract
Despite the importance of the topic, surprisingly little information exists on the unit costs of schools of different sizes. Educational planners therefore have to base this aspect of their work on assumptions rather than facts.This paper reviews the research that has been conducted in different countries, both advanced and less developed. It observes the diversity and inconsistency of findings, but notes that they are at least useful in methodological terms.
