Its main objective is to guide the design and implementation of performance-based non-monetary incentives for teachers under Government's priroritization program titled Big Results Now in Education (BRNed). \n\nUnder this pilot incentive program, schools were divided into homogeneous groups based on geographic sub-area and performance at baseline (20-25 schools per group). Within each group, the top three schools with the highest index score (which combines the average score with the average gain in scores relative to baseline across all three subjects) are scheduled to receive widely publicized recognition awards. In addition, the intervention will have a subject specific recognition award given to the best three teachers in a particular subject within the homogenous group. \n\nThe original design also included experimentation with school report cards. However, based on Government consultations this treatment arm was dropped and replaced with a student-incentive treatment. The rationale behind this change is as follows: \n\u2022 Ministry of Education has requested comprehensive policy-guidance on the potential use of non-monetary incentives - including for teachers, schools, and students. \n\u2022 There is lack of consensus around potential use and design of school report cards. \n\u2022 Under the BRNed program, several types of accountability interventions are under consideration. The IE team is participating in these discussions. \n\nThe study involves a randomized control trial designed to examine the effectiveness of non-monetary performance-based recognition awards for teachers and students. It is being implemented in three regions (420 schools) of Tanzania and targeted at secondary schools. The study will measure the impact of these incentive programs on student learning outcomes, student and teacher attendance, teacher behavior, and teacher perceptions.","time_periods":[{"start":"2013-03-14","end":"","cycle":""}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2012-11","end":"2013-02","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Tanzania","abbreviation":"TZA"}],"geog_coverage":"Three regions in Tanzania: Lindi, Morogoro, and Shinyanga","geog_unit":"Schools","analysis_unit":"Students, Teachers, and Schools","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"Region\nPublic vs. Private Schools\nGender of the headmaster\nAge of the headmaster\nHeadmaster teaches regular classes\nHeadmaster has training in school management\nHeadmaster rewards teacher who perform better\nSchool has electricity\nSchool has generator\nNumber of working toilets\nNumber of working toilets for girls\nThe School development plan made with stakeholder's participation\nThe School plan has been implemented\nSchool has PTA meetings\nSchool has SMC\nSchool has a school board\nSchool has activities for community participation\nSchool receives capitation grant from the government\nSchools receives other grants from the government"},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"The IE is being carried out in three regions and 420 schools (public and private).
