The Impact of Maternal Literacy and Participation Programs: Evidence from a Randomized Evaluation in India
在印度通过随机实验评估了成人识字和母亲参与干预对儿童学习的影响，发现三种干预均显著但适度提高了儿童数学成绩，并提升了母亲的语言和数学测试成绩及教育参与度。
Using a randomized field experiment in India, we evaluate the effectiveness of adult literacy and parental involvement interventions in improving children's learning. Households were assigned to receive either adult literacy (language and math) classes for mothers, training for mothers on how to enhance their children's learning at home, or a combination of the two programs. All three interventions had significant but modest impacts on childrens math scores. The interventions also increased mothers' test scores in both language and math, as well as a range of other outcomes reflecting greater involvement of mothers in their children's education.
