 The intervention is in the city of Manizales, a mid-size Colombian city, with population close to half a million, and approximately 55,000 students in public basic education grades 1 to 11. Our intervention encompasses two experiments, one at the household level (information intervention) and one at the school level (family/school engagement intervention). The information intervention is designed to change the internal investment of the family as well as their relationship with the school. The family/school engagement intervention aims to increase engagement, trust, and communication between families and teachers/schools. The hypothesis is that parents from low-baseline performers have less information and may react more to treatment.
