“The RAND Corporation, commissioned by Wallace, conducted a broad-ranging literature review to identify, frame and assess the relevant issues in the Out-of-School-Time (OST) field. This report presents the findings of that review. RAND has identified and addressed several major issues: the level of demand for OST services, the effectiveness of the offerings, what constitutes quality in OST programs, how to encourage participation, and how to build further community capacity. The audience for the report is policymakers, providers, and users of services interested in improved formal programs for OST and possible ways to expand provision.” – Publisher’s description
