quality and reliable education systems is critical to the success of developing countries in a global
economy. In the face of international recessions and financial crises, many countries depend on
bailout packages provided by international financial institutions such as the International
Monetary Fund (lMF) and Worid Bank. The bailouts typically contain conditions, known as
structural adjustment policies or programs, which require certain policy reforms of the accepting
country. The goal of this paper is to investigate whether those conditions have a noticeable
relationship to the delivery of education in developing countries. Specifically, this study looks at
descriptive statistics surrounding educational indicators for Thailand, a country that accepted a
bailout, and Malaysia, a country that declined a bailout, after the Asian Financial Crisis. === Committee in Charge:
