@Maximus_Holla 8.57 is 200 MA if it closes below 10 doesn’t it invalidate the whole chart setup and retest of 8.57 becomes probable? Why 9.39? Did you get flushed out today at 9.99?

@Maximus_Holla *content!

[Salman Asim @asimsalman]

@Maximus_Holla @Maximus_Holla: excellent read!! Management appears very confident of the context with 3 day advance press release; and Monday prime time visibility. Ofc it could just be a bluff!

@Maximus_Holla Next ER in April? Why lotto? No longer a LT play with $NVDA investment?

Education is fundamentally about human interaction. Artificial Intelligence tools can make this interaction more effective and enjoyable; but it will never replace this interaction.

This paper examines the results of a RCT across 1198 schools in Malawi, testing the impact on student progression & test scores of a 2-year intervention to strengthen leadership skills for head & deputy head teachers, & sub-district education officials.

These studies mark the culmination of a multi-year process of longitudinal data collection and analysis, with more to come! You can find more details of the project, as well as detailed baseline findings on a wide range of variables, here: https://t.co/L4czp82shf

[Ravinder Casley Gera @casleygera]

Dynamic analysis using longitudinal data suggests that COVID-19 and the associated closure of schools led to 18 months (!) of lost learning in Malawi, including a slowdown in learning once schools reopened:

Reforms to better target teachers to the most understaffed schools were inconsistently applied, but where followed, reduced school repetition rates by 2-3 points (but not dropout):

A two-year program of school leadership training for headteachers and deputies led to a 0.1 standard deviation increase in student test scores, equivalent to 8 week's additional learning:

It has been a labour of love over nearly 5 years, and synthesizes over 20 years of work. I hope you enjoy it!

Excited to present our experimental evidence on learning gains from training for school leaders in Malawi at #oxford_csae this morning.
