  1. This table gives the probability of approving the year before and after the treatment (considering the first two grades and the five bimestral grades, respectively) for treatment and comparison students. Columns (1)–(3) show the probability in the treatment group, the group of non-treated students in participating schools, and the difference between them. Columns (4)–(6) show the probability for all students in treated schools, and all in non-treated schools, and the simple difference between the last group and the treatment group. Column (7) shows the probability of approve the year for all students, treated and non-treated, from all the schools in the sample. Standard errors are in brackets
  2. * Significant at 10 %; ** significant at 5 %; *** significant at 1 %
