🚨 New publication!
gui2de affiliates and @McCourtSchool faculty @JacobusCilliers and James Habyarimana have a new paper out in the Journal of Development Economics showing how a small, low-cost tweak turned a national education program in Tanzania from one that failed to improve learning into one that succeeded.

Read and paper https://t.co/pvznpUZDn4 and the authors' @cgdev blog post https://t.co/1k1RDVTimV.
