Various studies have provided evidence of a link between better education systems and other indicators of human development, including health status, maternal and infant mortality, lower population growth and lowered crime (Glewwe, 2013; Hillman & Jenkner, 2004; Hannum & Buchmann, 2003). In other words, individuals with high levels of education are more likely to be employed, generate higher income, overcome economic shocks and maintain healthier families (World Bank, 2011). Substantial efforts have been made in recent years to improve access to education in in low- and middle-income countries (L&MICs). While there has been significant progress, this has been uneven and challenges remain. The primary objective of this review is to identify, assess and synthesise evidence on the effects of education interventions on children's access to education and learning in low- and middle-income countries. This review will also aim to assess how education interventions affect different sub-groups of participants by incorporating sub-group analyses, and will also include a broader range of evidence to address questions relating to process, implementation and costs.
