It finds that the program significantly increased student test scores at grades 4 to 6. The estimation indicates that two-year exposure to the program increases test scores by about 4.5 to 5 score points. Interestingly, the mathematics score is more responsive to the education reform than are other subjects. The analysis also finds that textbooks, instructional training of teachers, and new classroom construction particularly contributed to these outcomes. The empirical results imply that early-stage investment improves student performance at later stages in the elementary school cycle, which suggests that social returns to such an investment are greater than what the current study demonstrates. 2013-01-03T22:48:55Z 2013-01-03T22:48:55Z 2012-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2012/10/16845620/impacts-early-stage-education-intervention-students-learning-achievement-evidence-philippines http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12078 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 6246 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific Philippines
