Students and teachers increased their attendance, and students were more likely to pass the high-stakes government exams. By contrast, providing similar content to students on personal tablets decreased student scores by 0.4 SD. The contrast between the two effects shows the importance of engaging teachers and the potential for technology to do so. – Reproduced  aAmerican Economic Journal: Economic Policy  aEDUCATION cAR 00102ddc40709395247aIIPAbIIPAd2022-12-26h14(2), May, 2022: p.61-90pAR127746r2022-12-26yAR
