| description |
This study evaluates the impact of a
community-based information campaign on school performance
from a cluster randomized control trial. The campaign
consisted of eight to nine public meetings in each of 340
treatment villages across three Indian states to disseminate
information to the community about its state mandated roles
and responsibilities in school management. The findings from
the first follow-up 2-4 months after the campaign show that
providing information through a structured campaign to
communities had a positive impact in all three states. In
two states there was a significant and positive impact on
reading (14-27 percent) in one of the three grades tested;
in the third state there was a significant impact on writing
in one grade (15 percent) and on mathematics in the other
grade tested (27 percent). The intervention is associated
with improvement in teacher effort in two states. Some
improvements occurred in the delivery of certain benefits
entitled to students (stipend, uniform, and mid day meal)
and in process variables such as community participation in
each of the three states. Follow-up research needs to
examine whether there is a systematic increase in learning
when the impact is measured over a longer time period and
whether a campaign sustained over a longer time is able to
generate greater impact on school outcomes. |
