ABSTRACT
This chapter contains the results of our structured review and quality assessment of the existing worldwide evidence on how best to improve attainment at schools by spending money, focusing on disadvantaged pupils, other than using money directly as an incentive for students and families (as covered in the last chapter). It covers studies of health and nutrition, careers information, counselling, community involvement, and the use of technology. The final section is on whether money can attract qualified teachers to, and retain them in, disadvantaged areas.
