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. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
