The study was conducted in three Indian states, Uttar Pradesh (UP), Madhya Pradesh (MP), and Karnataka. UP and MP are two large north and central Indian states, respectively, and lag behind in economic and social outcomes, while Karnataka in southern India is economically and socially more developed. Even though all three states have devolved oversight roles to the community with respect to government schools, they differ in the extent to which such devolution has taken place. The information campaign disseminated state specific information to the community on its oversight roles in schools and education services that parents are entitled to. Information was disseminated in 11-14 public meetings in each treatment village over a period of two and a half years.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTSBASIC EDUCATIONCALLCHANGING ATTITUDESCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SERVICE TEACHERSCLASSROOMCLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOMSDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDEGREESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISTRICT EDUCATIONEDUCATED TEACHERSEDUCATION DEPARTMENTSEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION OFFICESEDUCATION OFFICIALSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMSELEMENTARY EDUCATIONEXPERIENCED TEACHERSGOVERNMENT GRANTSHEAD TEACHERHEAD TEACHERSHEADMASTERSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTILLITERATE PARENTSINTERVENTIONSKEY ROLELEARNINGLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTSLEARNING LEVELSLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OUTCOMESLESS EXPERIENCED TEACHERSLITERACYLITERACY LEVELSLITERACY RATELITERACY RATESLITERATE POPULATIONLITERATURELOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL LEVELMALE TEACHERSMATH SKILLSMATHEMATICSMATHEMATICS COMPETENCIESNUMBER OF STUDENTSPAPERSPARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATIONSPOSITIVE IMPACTPRIMARY GRADESPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL CYCLEPRIMARY SCHOOLSPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALITY EDUCATIONREADINGRESEARCH AGENDARESOURCE CENTERSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL BUDGETSSCHOOL COMMITTEESCHOOL COMMITTEESSCHOOL DEVELOPMENTSCHOOL EDUCATIONSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FUNDINGSCHOOL HEADSCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL INSPECTIONSSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL OPERATIONSSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL TEACHERSSCHOOL UNIFORMSSCHOOL VISITSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSMALLER NUMBERSOCIAL CONTEXTSTIPENDSSTUDENT ATTENDANCESTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT OUTCOMESSUBSTANTIAL VARIATIONTEACHERTEACHER ABSENTEEISMTEACHER CHARACTERISTICSTEACHER EFFECTIVENESSTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER SALARIESTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING ACTIVITYTEACHING SKILLSTENURETEST SCORESTEXTBOOKSTRAINING PROGRAMSVILLAGE EDUCATIONVILLAGE EDUCATION COMMITTEEVILLAGE EDUCATION COMMITTEESVILLAGE LEVELVILLAGE MEETINGSWORKERS10.1596/18012
