Primary Outcomes (End Points) - 9th and 11th grade national examination scores, as compared to a baseline or 7th grade examination scores - other self-reported measures of effort - see attached surveys for details - Grades 9-11 achievement on curriculum-based mathematics test administered by the research partnership - Self-reported hours of study and other surveyed measures of effort (see attached survey and interim report for details) - 9th and 11th grade national examination scores

Experimental Design (Public) The research provides 2 solar systems to each school in a randomized, staggered roll-out fashion. It also randomly provides math textbooks, educational videos, and performance-based scholarship programs. Across three years, in the beginning of each year, Group 1 (``Subsidy'') students receive contracts of approximately $0.50 per mark on an end-of-the-year curriculum-based mathematics test. Group 2 (``Study Aids'') receive solar-energy support, innovative bilingual mathematics textbooks and videos. Group 3 (``Both'') receive both Subsidy and Study Aids. Group 4 serve as control.
