Short-Term Impact of an Early Childhood Education Intervention in Rural Thailand
This paper evaluates the short-term impact of an early childhood education intervention on child development. The program randomly assigned an additional 19 teachers to coteach using a new curriculum based on the HighScope approach, in 19 out of 50 child care centers in rural Thailand. The main result indicates that the intervention had a positive and significant effect on child development in gross motor and personal and social skills with an effect size of 0.40 standard deviations for the benchmark case.
