The intervention offers intensive supervision and needs-based support for primary school children. Support is offered to promote skills in languages, mathematics, interdisciplinary competences and a stronger co-operation with parents. The learning concept is divided in two stages: the first two years focus on the levelling of differences in learning abilities, the last two years focus on improving school performance by offering remedial teaching.
Target population
Primary school children with a migrant background who are at risk of poor educational performance.
Recommendation rate for a Gymnasium (selective secondary school). Increased number of recommendations for entry to Gymnasium schools for children with a migrant background. Recommendations issued for Gymanasium schools. Results of the standarised test at the end of year four.
Improved cognitive skills. Improved cognitive skills of children with a migrant background after 1 year of intervention. The performance of previous class years will act as a counterfactual.
INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise. Help us improve our data quality: email us at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk if you have data on new projects, changes or performance updates on current projects, clarifications or corrections on our data, and/or confidentiality or sensitivity notices. Please also give input via the INDIGO Data Definitions Improvement Tool and INDIGO Feedback Questionnaire.
