  1. This table reports the estimates of the treatment effect as specified in Eq. (1, 2, 3, and 4), presented in the same order, with fixed effects by school for girls, taking all non-treated students of the treated schools in the sample as the comparison group. Cluster-robust standard errors are in brackets
