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.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
