The state of development is still somwehat antediluvian. So we don't know if education actually helps, but still promote it as one of the main development goals. Moreover, we do now that showing a chart works better to get kids in school than all other creative spending and incentive initiatives we can imagine, and we think there are moral issues with the chart, as it might not be fully true. Do we have moral problems with spending good money on ways that don't work to get kids in a school that is in essence a waste of time?Perhaps we could be to start redirecting spending mostly to proven interventions and start doing RCTs for the rest, setting aside a fixed percentage for research. As the needs are enormous, we might want to diminish spending for the time being on interventions without any basis?
