The problem
Intervention: Attendance at private schools (including low-fee private schools) compared to public school attendance
Who it was tested with: Rural children aged 8 to 11 years across India.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Our results show the performance of children attending private school to be significantly better than those from public schools." The study employed statistical methods to address the problem that families selecting private schools are not randomly distributed, making this a quasi-experimental design comparing two naturally occurring groups with controls for selection bias.
The document does not provide specific effect sizes, sample characteristics, or details about which regions and groups showed different results. The methods used to address selection bias are not described in the abstract.
