and data analysis in order to standardize and scale the entire lifecycle of
high-quality education delivery and to drive continuous improvement across all
aspects of operations. This includes how

standard deviation on core reading skills and an additional .51 standard
deviation on maths compared to their peers in neighboring schools, based on USAID-designed
