Description:
The file contains the principal literacy responses to the school background questionnaire.

The data set has 16 cases and 63 variables.
Abstract:
The evaluation follows an experimental- and control-group design. At the outset, it determined the contextual conditions at schools, in classrooms and at home, as well as learner achievement levels. All learners in Grades 1, 4 and 7 in 11 project schools in 2013 comprised the first of three cohorts of the intervention population. Their anticipated achievement gains are compared with those of all learners from five matched control schools.

The evaluation data were collected by means of self-report background questionnaires completed by school principals, teachers and parents/caregivers, as well as a range of language assessment instruments administered among/to the learners. Difference-in-difference analysis was conducted to establish relative achievement gains among learners from project and control schools.
