MEISS Baseline & Midline Education Evaluation
Effective Intervention / MoBSE / World Bank
Overview
The MEISS project mainstreams Effective Intervention's evidence-based structured pedagogy approach into around 60 public lower basic schools reaching over 4,000 children in Grades 1–3. A quasi-experimental evaluation compares outcomes against a similar number of matched comparison schools using EGRA and EGMA assessments.
For the baseline (2024), 2M Corp designed and built electronic assessment instruments in Tangerine, conducted daily quality checks using Stata scripts, trained MoBSE staff, and delivered cleaned datasets. For the midline (2025), instruments were rebuilt in SurveyCTO, and HoneyGuide was deployed for real-time data validation and automated consistency checks.
The project builds on earlier RCT results showing children in intervention villages performed four times better in literacy and three times better in numeracy than control groups.
Impact
The assessments provided independently collected evidence on foundational literacy and numeracy outcomes, establishing pre-intervention benchmarks and measuring intermediate results to assess whether the structured pedagogy interventions are on track.
