Project Specific Details

This project is a scale-up of a previously evaluated study tested across multiple countries by J-PAL invited researcher Noam Angrist and colleagues (Angrist, Bergman, Matsheng 2022; Angrist et al 2023). The state government of Karnataka plans to scale up a remote tailored instruction approach for grades 3-5. The governments Ganitha Ganaka programme was launched based on the evidence supporting a tailored instruction approach that uses phones to connect high-quality instruction and tutoring with students and parents. Within the 2024-25 academic year, the government aims to reach approximately 456,000 students across 93 educationally low-performing administrative blocks. As the government intends to implement this programme at a large scale this year, we aim to embed quick process research activities that will support the government (a) with actionable insights on optimising programme implementation as they seek to achieve scale, and (b) set up large-scale monitoring systems within the government to effectively monitor and enable different levels of the education system to use of programme data for feedback and course correction.

The RA will be responsible for a series of primary data collection exercises. The RA will work with the Research Manager and Principal Investigators, who will guide and supervise them in various tasks. The PIs for this Project are Noam Angrist (University of Oxford) and Sharnic Djaker (University of Oxford).
