All provided valuable comments and suggestions. I particularly thank Christo Lombaard at South Africa’s National Depart- ment of Education and Daniel Wilson at EduAction (Durban) for offering access to the School Register of Needs and detailed suggestions, and Sue Beard at the Education Foundation (Johannesburg) for technical support. The 2001 Census Community Profile database was provided by Statistics South Africa. I thank Martina Makakase for providing excellent research assistance with the school geographic information system. Finally, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education (Pietermaritzburg) kindly provided me with school financial data. I am grateful to Gershon Feder, the chair of IFPRI’s Publication Review Commit- tee, for his detailed suggestions and comments on the analysis in Chapter 5. The KwaZulu-Natal Income Dynamics Study 2004 data used in Chapters 4 and 5 is the outcome of a collaborative project between researchers at IFPRI, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, the University of Wisconsin, and the Lon- don School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Thabani Buthelezi and Myriam Velia, co-authors of the paper that I further revised for Chapter 5, kindly agreed to share their work as part of this monograph.
I am grateful to the government of Japan for providing financial support to the IFPRI project “The Formation of Human Capital in South Africa.” Special thanks are offered to Shu Han for her encouragement.
