Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Skills Are Important, Obviously. But Are They More Important than All Other Education Investments? - Evans, David; Hares, Susannah (Center for Global Development | Ideas to Action, 2021)
It’s rare to read an education report these days that doesn’t mention the learning crisis. That’s not surprising. Literacy and numeracy skills among children are dismally low: less than half of all children in low- and middle-income countries can read by the time they are 10 years old. As these data have emerged in recent years, the global education community has swung its focus sharply toward learning.

It’s been a year since schools started to close due to COVID-19 - Evans, David; Hares, Susannah; Mendez Acosta, A.; Saintis, C. (Center For Global Development, 2021)
Twelve months ago, the world was watching as schools closed across China and millions of students began learning online from their homes. Most of us didn’t think for a moment that just a few weeks later, almost every country in the world would close their schools and the education of more than a billion children would be disrupted. Since then, millions of students have not had any school-based, face-to-face education.

Large Learning Gains in Pockets of Extreme Poverty: Experimental Evidence from Guinea Bissau - Fazzio, Ila; Eble, Alex; Lumsdaine, Robin L; Boone, Peter; Bouy, Baboucarr; Hsieh, Pei-Tseng Jenny; Jayanty, Chitra; Johnson, Simon; Silva, Ana Filipa (2021)
Children in many extremely poor, remote regions are growing up illiterate and innumerate despite high reported school enrollment ratios. Possible explanations for such poor outcomes include demand – for example, low perceived returns to education compared to opportunity cost; and supply – poor state provision and inability of parents to coordinate and finance better schooling. We conducted a cluster-randomized trial in rural Guinea Bissau to understand the effectiveness and cost of concerted supply-based interventions in such contexts. Our intervention created simple schools offering four years of education to primary-school aged children in lieu of the government. At endline, children receiving the intervention scored 58.1 percentage points better than controls on early grade reading and math tests, demonstrating that the intervention taught children to read and perform basic arithmetic, from a counterfactual condition of very high illiteracy. Our results provide evidence that particularly needy areas may require more concerted, dramatic interventions in education than those usually considered, but that such interventions hold great potential for increasing education levels among the world’s poorest people.

Conditional Cash Transfer, Loss Framing, and SMS Nudges: Evidence from a Randomized Field Experiment in Bangladesh - Fujii, Tomoki; Ho, Christine; Ray, Rohan; Shonchoy, Abu (2021)
Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) have become one of the most common policy interventions to increase school attendance, but the cost-eﬀectiveness of such interventions has not attracted the attention it deserves. Hence, in addition to a standard CCT implementation, we experimentally study two potential ways to improve the cost-eﬀectiveness of school attendance interventions: (i) SMS information nudges and (ii) loss framing in CCTs. The former provides school attendance information to parents and the latter exploits the endowment eﬀect. Consistent with the existing literature, CCT intervention signiﬁcantly increases school attendance. We also ﬁnd that the loss framing marginally increases attendance over and above the ∗We would like to thank Joseph Altonji, James Berry, Barbara Biasi, Gaurav Dutt, Maulik Jagnani, Costas Meghir, Rohini Pande, Rebecca Thornton, and seminar attendees at Monash and Yale for insightful comments and suggestions.

Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group offers evidence-informed guidance to conduct rapid reviews - Garritty, Chantelle; Gartlehner, Gerald; Nussbaumer-Streit, Barbara; King, Valerie J.; Hamel, Candyce; Kamel, Chris; Affengruber, Lisa; Stevens, Adrienne (Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 2021)
To develop methods guidance to support the conduct of rapid reviews (RRs) produced within Cochrane and beyond, in response to requests for timely evidence syntheses for decision-making purposes including urgent health issues of high priority. Interim recommendations were informed by a scoping review of the underlying evidence, primary methods studies conducted, and a survey sent to 119 representatives from 20 Cochrane entities, who were asked to rate and rank RR methods across stages of review conduct. Discussions among those with expertise in RR methods further informed the list of recommendations with accompanying rationales provided. Based on survey results from 63 respondents (53% response rate), 26 RR methods recommendations are presented for which there was a high or moderate level of agreement or scored highest in the absence of such agreement. Where possible, how recommendations align with Cochrane methods guidance for systematic reviews is highlighted. The Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group offers new, interim guidance to support the conduct of RRs. Because best practice is limited by the lack of currently available evidence for some RR methods shortcuts taken, this guidance will need to be updated as additional abbreviated methods are evaluated.

A Cascade Teacher Training Model in Disaster Education: A Case of Turkey - Gökmenoğlu, Tuba; Sönmez, Elif Daşçı; Yavuz, İbrahim (2021)
Individuals' reluctance to take precautions before the disasters happen is one of the most critical concerns of the disaster management area. The disaster education given through schools is a critical process in addressing this problem. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the teacher training program model and the implementation practices of Turkey's School-Based Disaster Education Project. In Turkey, there are few studies regarding the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation stages of Disaster Risk Reduction education for teachers. The project has been carried out within the framework of the Ministry of National Education and Japan International Cooperation Agency. An at-scale cascade teacher professional development model was implemented. The model reached 135,375 teachers in 67 provinces by the 567 trainer teachers in a relatively short time with the cascade training system. This project has brought a significant nationwide disaster risk reduction training experience for Turkey with its economic and sustainable structure.

A qualitative study of autism services and supports in Singapore: Perspectives of service providers, autistic adults and caregivers - Han, Emeline; Tan, Melisa Mei Jin; Crane, Laura; Legido-Quigley, Helena (Autism, 2021)
The lifelong and complex nature of autism necessitates an array of services and supports spanning across different sectors and providers at different life stages of an autistic individual. However, research has shown that autistic individuals and their families often experience barriers accessing the autism-related services and supports that they need. This is the first qualitative study to explore the provision and coordination of autism services and supports in Singapore from the perspectives of service providers, autistic adults and caregivers. Semi-structured interviews with 21 participants revealed three main themes: (1) improving access to autism-specific services, (2) creating flexible supports in an inclusive environment and (3) addressing stigma and changing societal attitudes. Our findings suggest that Singapore may have achieved rapid growth in autism services, but broader social structures may be slower to change. To better support autistic individuals in society, autistic voices need to be amplified and a collective effort is needed to achieve a paradigm shift from impairment to capability. Lay abstract Because autism is a lifelong and complex condition, autistic people may need a range of supports cutting across different sectors (e.g. health, education and social care) at different stages of their lives. Studies in some countries have shown that autistic people and their families face difficulties accessing the services they need, but no research has been done on this topic in Singapore. To start addressing this gap, we interviewed 21 service providers, autistic adults and caregivers/parents of autistic children to find out their perceptions and experiences of autism services and supports in Singapore. Our participants told us that beyond improving access to autism-specific services, they also hoped to see more flexible supports in an inclusive environment and a broader change in societal attitudes. This study highlights that autism service provision should be informed by autistic voices and not only focus on impairment but also recognise the strengths of autistic people alongside their very real needs. The whole of society – including policymakers, professionals, employers, educators, families and autistic people themselves – needs to work together to fight autism stigma and discrimination.

Teacher professional development in sub-Saharan Africa: Equity and scale - Haßler, Björn; Bennett, Gemma; Damani, Kalifa (Embedding Social Justice in Teacher Education and Development in Africa, 2021)
This chapter synthesises approaches to teacher professional development based on the evidence provided by three key reviews. A comprehensive and pragmatic set of eight principles for teacher professional development in sub-Saharan Africa is presented, including recommendations for: effective teaching and learning practices that facilitate a focus on student learning; professional status and motivation of teachers; design and conduct of professional development programmes; and the value of appropriate Open Educational Resources / Practices and the wise use of educational technology, as well as considerations for policy formulation. We argue that these features can be realised through holistic school-based peer-facilitated TPD models which is not only not only educationally effective, but also cost-effective and scalable. Such models have the potential to radically increase equitable participation in education.

Tax Farming Redux: Experimental Evidence on Performance Pay for Tax Collectors - Khan, Adnan Q.; Khwaja, Asim I.; Olken, Benjamin A. (National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021)
Performance pay for tax collectors has the potential to raise revenues, but might come at a cost if taxpayers face undue pressure from collectors. We report the first large-scale field experiment on these issues, where we experimentally allocated 482 property tax units in Punjab, Pakistan into one of three performance-pay schemes or a control. After two years, incentivized units had 9.3 log points higher revenue than controls, which translates to a 46 percent higher growth rate. The scheme that rewarded purely on revenue did best, increasing revenue by 12.8 log points (62 percent higher growth rate), with little penalty for customer satisfaction and assessment accuracy compared to the two other schemes that explicitly also rewarded these dimensions. Further analysis reveals that these revenue gains accrue from a small number of properties becoming taxed at their true value, which is substantially more than they had been taxed at previously. The majority of properties in incentivized areas in fact pay no more taxes, but do report higher bribes. The results are consistent with a collusive setting in which performance pay increases collector's bargaining power over taxpayers, who either have to pay higher bribes to avoid being reassessed, or pay substantially higher taxes if collusion breaks down.

Using a Participatory Approach to Create SEL Programming: The Case of Ahlan Simsim - Kohn, Shanna; Foulds, Kim; Cole, Charlotte; Matthews, Mackenzie; Hussein, Laila (Journal on Education in Emergencies, 2021)
This paper highlights the use of a participatory, trauma-informed approach in the creation of Ahlan Simsim, a Sesame Street television program for the Middle East, and asserts the importance of using a participatory approach to designing culturally relevant social and emotional learning (SEL) content. Ahlan Simsim is a component of a larger initiative of the same name, which was created by Sesame Workshop and the International Rescue Committee and funded by the MacArthur and LEGO foundations. This program brings early learning and nurturing care to children and families affected by the Syrian crisis through a combination of mass media and direct service programming. In this article, we present a review of the research and consultations Sesame Workshop conducted with local communities and local child-development experts in Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon from August to November 2018. Sesame Workshop’s aim was to identify and refine the television program’s focus area and to create locally relevant, trauma-informed content that draws from SEL strategies that resonate most and have the greatest impact with audiences in the Syrian response region. We argue that, for SEL programming to achieve maximum impact, it is critical that program designers develop socialemotional frameworks for children from the ground up by working with local caregivers and practitioners.

Short and Long-Run Distributional Impacts of COVID-19 in Latin America - Lustig, Nora; Martinez Pabon, Valentina; Neidhöfer, Guido (2021)
We simulate the short- and long-term distributional consequences of COVID-19 in the four largest Latin American economies: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. We show that the shortterm impact on income inequality and poverty can be very significant, but that additional spending on social assistance more than offsets the effect in Brazil. The offsetting effect is significant in Argentina and Colombia, and nil in Mexico where there has been no such expansion. We find that a universal basic income that would have produced the same reduction in the poverty gap as actual policies would have cost slightly more but would have benefited the poor (the nonpoor) slightly less (more). To project the long-term consequences, we estimate the impact of the pandemic on school achievement and its intergenerational persistence. We use information on school closures, educational mitigation policies, and account for educational losses related to health shocks and parental job loss. Our findings show that in all four countries the impact is strongly asymmetric and affects particularly the high-school completion rates of children from disadvantaged families. Our simulations suggest that mitigation policies seem to have a minor impact on containing these negative effects.

The effectiveness of technology-supported personalised learning in low- and middle-income countries: A meta-analysis - Major, Louis; Francis, Gill A.; Tsapali, Maria (British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021)
Digital technology offers the potential to address educational challenges in resource-poor settings. This meta-analysis examines the impact of students' use of technology that personalises and adapts to learning level in low- and middle-income countries. Following a systematic search for research between 2007 and 2020, 16 randomised controlled trials were identified in five countries. Studies involved 53,029 learners aged 6–15 years. Coding examined learning domain (mathematics and literacy); personalisation level and delivery; technology use; and intervention duration and intensity. Overall, technology-supported personalised learning was found to have a statistically significant—if moderate—positive effect size of 0.18 on learning (p = 0.001). Meta-regression reveals how more personalised approaches which adapt or adjust to learners' level led to significantly greater impact (an effect size of 0.35) than those only linking to learners' interests or providing personalised feedback, support, and/or assessment. Avenues for future research include investigating cost implications, optimum programme length, and teachers' role in making personalised learning with technology effective. Practitioner notes What is already known about this topic? Promoting personalised learning is an established aim of educators. Using technology to support personalised learning in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) could play an important role in ensuring more inclusive and equitable access to education, particularly in the aftermath of COVID-19. There is currently no rigorous overview of evidence on the effectiveness of using technology to enable personalised learning in LMICs. What this paper adds? The meta-analysis is the first to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-supported personalised learning in improving learning outcomes for school-aged children in LMICs. Technology-supported personalised learning has a statistically significant, positive effect on learning outcomes. Interventions are similarly effective for mathematics and literacy and whether or not teachers also have an active role in the personalisation. Personalised approaches that adapt or adjust to the learner led to significantly greater impact, although whether these warrant the additional investment likely necessary for implementation at scale needs to be investigated. Personalised technology implementation of moderate duration and intensity had similar positive effects to that of stronger duration and intensity, although further research is needed to confirm this. Implications for practice and/or policy: The inclusion of more adaptive personalisation features in technology-assisted learning environments can lead to greater learning gains. Personalised technology approaches featuring moderate personalisation may also yield learning rewards. While it is not known whether personalised technology can be scaled in a cost-effective and contextually appropriate way, there are indications that this is possible. The appropriateness of teachers integrating personalised approaches in their practice should be explored given ‘supplementary’ uses of personalised technology (ie, additional sessions involving technology outside of regular instruction) are common.

Early effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on children in rural Bangladesh - Makino, Momoe; Shonchoy, Abu S; Wahhaj, Zaki (2021)
Using data collected through a telephone-based survey in rural Bangladesh during the height of the pandemic, we present evidence on the eﬀects of COVID-19-led lockdown and school closures on children, focusing on three child-related outcomes: time use of children during the school closure, plans regarding children’s schooling continuation, and the incidence of child marriages. Our analysis reveals heterogeneity in the eﬀects of lockdown and school closure in terms of the child’s gender and the type of shocks. We ﬁnd a decrease in children’s study time and an increase in time spent on household chores during the school closure, and these changes were signiﬁcantly larger for girls than for boys. Within the household, respiratory illness lowered expectations that a child would return to school and increased the probability of marriage-related discussions for girls. Our ﬁndings oﬀer a cautionary tale regarding the potential longterm eﬀects of pandemic for girls in developing countries.

A Global Mapping of Delivery Approaches - Mansoor, Zahra; Qarout, Dana; Anderson, Kate; Carano, Celeste; Dvorakova, Veronika; Williams, Martin J (2021)
The past 25 years has seen numerous governments worldwide adopting new institutional forms, such as delivery units and reform labs, to try to improve service delivery. We conduct a systematic global search and mapping of these delivery approaches. We identify 152 instances of delivery approach (DA) adoption from 80 diﬀerent countries, ranging from the center of government down to provincial and local levels, with an accelerating trend of adoption since 2010. The majority of these include education as a focus sector. The main ﬁnding that emerges from our analysis is that there is no single model that characterizes the design of such approaches or the purposes for which they are adopted. However, we do identify a number of patterns, including that DAs in lower-income countries are more likely to focus mainly on output-type goals (as opposed to outcomes), use external consultants, and utilize accountability- and incentive-driven mechanisms relatively more heavily than their counterparts in middle- and high-income countries. While our ﬁndings are purely descriptive and cannot be used to infer whether DAs are eﬀective, they give an indication to policymakers about the menu of potential options available to them in designing DAs. This global mapping can also provide useful context for existing and future country-level case studies that investigate the eﬀectiveness of DAs and seek to explore which designs might be more eﬀective in diﬀerent contexts and for diﬀerent purposes.

Online learning and COVID-19 outbreak in Mozambique – academics’ experience during suspension of face-to-face classes - Martins, Hélio Rogério; Manjate, José Luís; Tinga, Iolanda Cavaleiro; Matusse, Ana Paula Xavier; Sitoe, Lénia Cecília Alberto (Interactive Learning Environments, 2021)
The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant impact on social life and the education system, leading to the suspension of face-to-face classes and the adoption of online learning as a strategy to continue the teaching and learning process in many countries around the world, including Mozambique. Thus, we conducted the present study to analyze the teaching and learning process using digital platforms during a state of emergency due to COVID-19. We inquired 417 academics who responded to an online survey open between the 4th and 12th of May 2020 and released via WhatsApp and email. For data analysis, we used descriptive statistics to present the results in simple tables. 263 (61.3%) were male, and the average age was 39.7 years. Seventy-one percent (71%) of the academics received guidance to proceed with the teaching and learning process during the emergency, and several platforms were used for this purpose, where WhatsApp and email (49.2%) were the most used. About 67% of the academics faced some difficulty with the digital learning platforms, and half managed to teach all classes. This process challenged the academic staff, who had to rely on several learning platforms and adopt different teaching strategies in conditions never experienced before.

How educational are 'educational' apps for young children? App store content analysis using the Four Pillars of Learning framework - Meyer, Marisa; Zosh, Jennifer M.; McLaren, Caroline; Robb, Michael; McCafferty, Harlan; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy; Radesky, Jenny (Journal of Children and Media, 2021)
Experts have expressed concerns about the lack of evidence demonstrating that children's "educational" applications (apps) have educational value. This study aimed to operationalize Hirsh-Pasek, Zosh, et al.'s (2015) Four Pillars of Learning into a reliable coding scheme (Pillar 1: Active Learning, Pillar 2: Engagement in the Learning Process, Pillar 3: Meaningful Learning, Pillar 4: Social Interaction), describe the educational quality of commercially-available apps, and examine differences in educational quality between free and paid apps. We analyzed 100 children's educational apps with the highest downloads from Google Play and Apple app stores, as well as 24 apps most frequently played by preschool-age children in a longitudinal cohort study. We developed a coding scheme in which each app earned a value of 0-3 for each Pillar, defining lower-quality apps as those scoring ≤ 4, summed across the Four Pillars. Overall scores were low across all Pillars. Free apps had significantly lower Pillar 2 (Engagement in Learning Process) scores (t-test, p < .0001) and overall scores (t-test, p < .0047) when compared to paid apps, due to the presence of distracting enhancements. These results highlight the need for improved design of educational apps guided by developmental science.

Teachers’ Learning Communities for Developing High Order Thinking Skills—A Case Study of a School Pedagogical Change - Miedijensky, Shirley; Sasson, Irit; Yehuda, Itamar (Interchange (Toronto. 1984), 2021)
This study deals with an elementary school that is undergoing a process of pedagogical change. The teachers understood that their weak point was excessive use of teaching based on memorization rather than developing high-order thinking (HOT) skills. The school therefore established teachers’ learning communities for peer learning and designing learning tasks that encourage the development of HOT skills. Quantitative and qualitative research tools were used in this study as a formative assessment. The data included learning tasks and interviews with teachers. The findings indicate an increase in the expression of critical thinking and the cognitive levels of application, analysis, and synthesis. The national test scores indicate an increase in students’ performance in most subjects. It appears that educators recognize the need for a transition from teaching that emphasize memorizing information to methods that develop students’ thinking skills and independent learning and initiated a successful pedagogical change.

Scaling education innovations for impact in low-and-middle-income countries during COVID - Olsen, Brad (Brookings Institution, 2021)
In 2020, the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution joined the Global Partnership for Education’s (GPE) Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX), a joint partnership between the Global Partnership for Education and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), to facilitate a cross-national, multiteam, design-based research and professional support initiative called Research on Scaling the Impact of Innovations in Education (ROSIE). The intention of ROSIE is to bring together researchers and practitioners to study the process of scaling education initiatives. This first annual brief reflects on scaling insights from different scaling teams across many low- and middle-income countries to jointly learn and share best practices related to scaling in education. Effective scaling is not just about designing and delivering promising innovations for use but also embedding them in thoughtful, mutifaceted ways to ensure that they grow, deepen, and have lasting impact. This brief discusses how several teams went about this work during the difficult last year.

Investigating the mediating role of online learning motivation in the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Bangladesh - Rahman, Md. H Asibur; Uddin, Mohammad Shahab; Dey, Anamika (Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021)
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating role of online learning motivation (OLM) in the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Bangladesh by observing and comparing direct lectures (DL), instructor–learner interaction (ILI), learner–learner interaction (LLI), and internet self-efficacy (ISE) as predictors of OLM and online learning satisfaction (OLS). Data were collected from 442 undergraduate and graduate students from more than 35 universities in Bangladesh. To test the hypotheses, the PLS-SEM approach was applied using SmartPLS 3.0. The study shows a significant mediating role of OLM between the independent variables and learning satisfaction. In addition, DL, ILI, and ISE are shown to be significant predictors of student satisfaction. The findings have a number of valuable implications for education policy makers, universities, instructors, and students. Moreover, the study suggests some new research perspectives to overcome the limitations of this research and to gain precise knowledge on students' learning motivation and satisfaction regarding other online classes for different categories of students (e.g., high school and college, professional, and PhD).

Exploring the summer reading effect through visual analysis of multiple datasets - Reed, Deborah K.; Aloe, Ariel M.; Park, Seohee; Reeger, Adam J. (Journal of Research in Reading, 2021)
Historically, there has been concern about students losing reading ability over extended breaks from school, commonly in the summer, but studies of this phenomenon have produced inconsistent results. We applied exploratory visual analysis of multiple datasets to examine whether students in Grades K-5 appear to lose or improve in various reading abilities over the summer and across consecutive school years. Archival data were obtained on students of different U.S. school districts who did not participate in a formal summer reading programme. Data were disaggregated by groups considered most vulnerable to summer loss: those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and those identified with disabilities. Given the variety of measure types and scores, we centred scores on each measure's cut point for proficiency in a particular grade level to depict how students' scores deviated from the proficiency classifications before and after a summer break. Overall, students' scores relative to the benchmark appeared on average to have maintained or improved, and there was no observed accumulated decrement in reading performance across years. For anomalous instances of summer loss, we offer possible alternative explanations such as measurement artefacts and unrehearsed learning. Visual analysis of the datasets suggested that summer breaks were not associated with systematic losses of students' reading ability, even among those considered most vulnerable to the phenomenon. However, available assessments and benchmarks are not designed to measure summer learning specifically, and little is known about the kinds of literacy experiences students not in formal programmes might be having. Thus, more research on summer maturation and degeneration is warranted.

Do High-Stakes Exams Promote Consistent Educational Standards? - Rossiter, Jack; Abreh, Might Kojo; Ali, Aisha; Sandefur, Justin (Center for Global Development, 2021)
Each year over two million secondary-school students across English-speaking West Africa sit coordinated exams, with the explicit goal of maintaining consistent educational standards across schools and over time. We find that scores across math items drawn from different exam years—when taken by an identical group of students on the same day—closely track fluctuations in Ghana’s national pass rates over time, absent any role for cheating or changes in real performance.

Digitizing taxation and premature formalization in developing countries - Roy, Pallavi; Khan, Mushtaq H. (Development and Change, 2021)
The digitization of taxation systems can assist inclusion. However, it can also inadvertently lead to adverse outcomes for the poor in developing countries where many firms in the informal sector have low capabilities. Moreover, larger formal sector firms are often politically networked and in a position to engage in extractive informal transactions that digitization alone cannot restrict. Thus, while digitization creates tools for the enforcement of formal regulations, formalization can be unequal. This contribution focuses on digitized taxation as an application of a more general problem with digitization as a tool for formalization, referring to evidence from the rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India. Using the analysis of political settlements, the authors distinguish between types of rule violations in developing economies. Networked higher-capability firms engage in ‘informal’ transactions when they violate rules to extract rents. This is different from the informality of unregistered micro and small enterprises in the informal sector who often violate rules they cannot adhere to, and make informal payments to enforcers to continue operating. When digital technologies are used in these contexts, adverse outcomes for welfare and inclusion can follow from ‘premature formalization’. A more cautious and inclusive path to formalization is necessary to protect vulnerable groups.

A Cautionary Tale of Tutoring Hard-to-Reach Students in Kenya - Schueler, Beth E.; Rodriguez-Segura, Daniel (Annenberg Institute, 2021)
Covid-19-induced school closures generated great interest in tutoring as a strategy to make up for lost learning time. Tutoring is backed by a rigorous body of research, but it is unclear whether it can be delivered effectively remotely. We study the effect of teacher-student phone call interventions in Kenya when schools were closed. Schools (n=105) were randomly assigned for their 3rd, 5th and 6th graders (n=8,319) to receive one of two versions of a 7-week weekly mathfocused intervention—5-minute accountability checks or 15-minute mini-tutoring sessions—or to the control group. Although calls increased student perceptions that teachers cared, accountability checks had no effect on math performance up to four months after the intervention and tutoring decreased math achievement among students who returned to their schools after reopening. This was, in part, because the relatively low-achieving students most likely to benefit from calls were least likely to return and take in-person assessments. Tutoring substituted away from more productive uses of time, at least among returning students. Neither intervention affected enrollment. Tutoring remains a valuable tool but to avoid unintended consequences, careful attention should be paid to aligning tutoring interventions with best practices and targeting interventions to those who will benefit most.
