Abstract

This briefing outlines a trial to examine the prospects for scaling-up a contract teacher intervention, shown to significantly raise test scores for primary students in previous randomized trials in both Western Kenya and various locations in India, by (a) expanding geographically across all eight Kenyan provinces, and (b) comparing implementation by an international NGO and the Ministry of Education.
