Intervention
Children in Seoul city group homes identified as potential beneficiaries of extra educational support will be administered with an initial Korean Wechsler scale of intelligence test to determine programme eligibility (i.e. IQ between 71 and 84). Eligible children then receive extra-curricular academic and social skills support from service providers over three school years. There are two success measures, increase in IQ test score and improvement in social skills and behaviour. Wechsler test scores will be determined at the beginning and end of the programme. Improvements in IQ to above 84 will be considered successful or, for those children with a mild learning disability, improvement to above 70. The second social skills and behaviour measure is evaluated by school teachers in reports twice a year (six times in total) with the target for success being the average score over the final four reports showing improvement relative to the average score of the first two reports.
Target population
Up to 100 children living in group care homes in Seoul classed as Borderline Intellectual Functioning (BIF) i.e. an IQ between 71 and 84. A small number of children with an IQ of below 70 (classified as having a mild learning disability).

Outcome metrics
- IQ level. Measured twice in total by Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (K-WISC-IV). BIF (Borderline Intellectual Functioning) children are those with Intellectual Quotient(IQ) level between 71~84, often recited as ‘slow learners’. Children with mild intellectual disabilities(IQ level between 64~70) possibly included in part should number of BIF children from welfare facilities found to be significantly small.
- Sociability. Korean version of Teacher’s Report Form. Teachers in charge at schools evaluate and report children’s behavior twice a year. Any improvements on the total scores would be counted as successful. Measured twice a year (6 times in total).

Important Notice and Disclaimer on INDIGO Data
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.
