Teacher capabilities and changed routines may persist.

Funding additionality

Unreviewed

Unknown: a current marginal funding gap, counterfactual and delivery capacity have not been audited.

Community agency

Unreviewed

Unknown: decision rights and accountability to affected people have not been audited.

Evidence and selection

Organization reported

Illustrative inclusion to examine this mechanism. Inclusion is not an external recommendation or a verified comparative ranking.

A testable next question

Public-system adaptations should improve independently measured foundational learning and sustain gains.

Review confidence: Low for systemic attribution; organization description only. Documented intervention design; not a complete audit of this organization.

What remains uncertain

The seed inspected Pratham's stated model. Independent learning evaluations and persistence at government scale need explicit linkage.
