We also intention-to-treat reopening schools pandemic through triple-differences strategy, contrasting changes educational municipalities grades resumed or over last 2020. find that, under learning, dropout risk increased by 365% while test scores decreased 0.32 s.d., as if students had only learned 27.5% equivalent. Partially resuming 20% relative control group.

We do a randomised controlled trial 4,399 primary students in Sierra Leone. Tutoring led some limited increase activity, but had no effect on mathematics language test scores, girls boys, and provided public private teachers. Even having received calls, one three children reported not listening at all, so take-up may partly explain our results.
