Domain-specific

• External Validity
  • Pratham's balsakhi programme — a remedial pull-out in which a community tutor withdrew the weakest primary pupils from class for targeted instruction in basic literacy and numeracy — raised test scores by about 0.28 standard deviations in randomized evaluations in the Indian cities of Vadodara and Mumbai, a gain that had faded to roughly 0.10 standard deviations a year after the programme ended

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.
