Domain-specific¶
- External Validity
- When the approach was generalized into what Pratham later branded "Teaching at the Right Level" — grouping primary pupils by demonstrated skill rather than by grade — and scaled through government systems, several early attempts saw the effect shrink substantially: in the tightly-supervised trials the method was delivered with high fidelity (often by motivated NGO volunteers or with intensive monitoring), whereas at scale, regular teachers under existing incentives frequently reverted to grade-level teaching
This sourceThe paper attributes the difference to programme structure and monitoring intensity rather than to NGO delivery as such — government teachers produced large gains in the closely supervised Bihar summer camps.
