This study uses a RCT to assess whether there is a causal link between the program and changes in outcomes. The evaluation of this employs a three-arm clustered RCT design (two treatment groups and one control group). Randomization is done in 2 stages: We first pick 223 schools from a pre-existing list provided by our partner organizations. We then randomly distribute these 223 schools into the three study arms: T1 (self-help), T2 (assisted), and C (control). T1 and T2 will have 74 schools each and C will have 75 schools. From each school, we will randomly select 15 students on average to participate in the program. We will ensure that about half of the students are female when we randomly select the students to be treated from each treatment school.
a) T1: Self-Help Group (74 schools, 1,057 students)
b) T2: Assisted Group (74 schools, 1,060 students)
c) T3: Control (75 schools, 2,168 students)
We conducted an assessment test for 6,980 students in 2022, but as the baseline was conducted a few months earlier than our intervention and the program started after the students progressed to the next level, we checked the final students list BEFORE the intervention started, and the final students who remained in the schools are 6,433 (547 students dropped out). We then did a balance check across different groups among the final list of students.
Three survey instruments were used for this study - a School Survey Questionnaire and two Assessment Test Questionnaires (English and Mathematics). The School Survey Questionnaire including questions on school infrastructure and the Assessment Test Questionnaires were reviewed by the authors. Questions in the Assessment Test instruments were selected based on the national curriculum of Nepal from a standard textbook and a few questions also came from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). The questionnaires were administered in the Nepali language. They are provided in both English and Nepali and are available for download here.

There were 16 enumerators under the supervision of 3 supervisors.
The supervisors regularly contacted enumerators, resolved problems, and monitored data entry.
The upper management visited some schools.
Enumerators were trained for 2 days. Enumerators informed supervisors if they faced any issues. The supervisors contacted the local government officers if needed. The interviews were conducted in the Nepali language. Pilot survey was conducted among 12 schools.
