Is non-formal accelerated education a long-term solution? Evidence from a randomized trial with displaced adolescents in Northeast Nigeria
Moving Cross-Language Transfer from Hypothesis to Causal Evidence
In multilingual countries, debates about language policy in education persist. Many countries adopt a transitional bilingual approach in which children are taught to read in their first language (L1) as a subject before instruction shifts to an official language (L2) such as English. This model rests on the premise that L1 mastery aids L2 learning. Yet, most supporting evidence is correlational. We used an instrumental variable design to examine …
Principled principals
This mixed-methods study aimed to understand the role of principal leadership in implementing a primary reading intervention in Ghana, a subject under-studied despite the country's policy focus and global evidence of leadership's positive impact on school outcomes. We investigated how principals approach leading the intervention, what effects their leadership behaviors have on student reading, and why these effects occur. Quantitative data includ…
Should teachers stick to the script? Examining the effects of scripted lessons on student literacy in Madagascar
The role of home environments in children’s literacy skills in Ghana
Effects of Story Read‐Aloud Lessons on Literacy Development in the Early Grades
Research has indicated that reading aloud to young students can enhance their foundational reading skills and their reading motivation, but such research has been lacking in African contexts. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of story read‐aloud lessons in improving students’ foundational reading skills in Nigeria. The experiment took place in a cluster randomized trial of 199 schools in Northern Nigeria. In treatment schools, second‐grade …

Examining “best practices” for literacy coaching and monitoring
Evidence-based ‘best practices’ from high-resource contexts have motivated some early grade literacy programs in developing countries to hire private literacy specialists as coaches for teachers, rather than build coaching into the job description of existing system actors, such as school inspectors. This study poses the question, can education system actors with supervisory responsibilities for schools, who are not necessarily literacy specialis…
The Long-Term Effects of Universal Primary Education
This article investigates the rollout of universal primary education (UPE) policies in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Uganda to assess their long-term causal effects on schooling attainment. Consequently, we employ a fuzzy regression discontinuity design (RDD) to assess the effect that increased schooling helps lower adolescent sexual activity, marriage, and births, as well as adult labor force activity among women. Our findings show that the UPE policies…
