SUMMARY:Laia Navarro-Sole - IIES
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Lowering Barriers to Remote Education: Experimental Impacts on Parental Res
 ponses and Learning”, with Emily Beam and Priya Mukherjee\nAbstract:\nWe co
 nduct a randomized controlled trial with households of secondary school stu
 dents in Bangladesh to investigate how parents adjust their investments in 
 response to three educational interventions: an informational campaign abou
 t an educational phone application, an internet data subsidy, and one-on-on
 e phone learning support. We find that offering an educational service in a
  context where other barriers to take-up exist can still trigger parental e
 ducational investments by acting as a signal or nudge. These behavioral cha
 nges result in lasting learning gains concentrated among richer households,
  reflecting that the relevant behavior change--increased tutoring investmen
 t--is easier for them to implement. In contrast, when interventions do incr
 ease take-up, they have the potential to narrow the socioeconomic achieveme
 nt gap. We observe that increased usage of the targeted educational service
  limits parental behavioral responses. This implies that learning gains in 
 these cases are directly caused by the potential effectiveness of the servi
 ces adopted. In our setting, remote one-to-one teacher support improves lea
 rning among students from poorer households, whereas receiving the free dat
 a package jointly with the app information has no impact on learning.\n
