**_Notes_** :

- The table shows the regression results on pre-specified education and cognition outcomes using the 2021 in-person data. Each row is its own dependent variable.

- The outcomes that require definitions are: FR Years of Schooling is calculated as follows: first, because few FRs reported total years of schooling rather than the marginal years at their latest stage, each stage is capped at its correct upper bound (10 years for primary in Jordan; 9 years for primary in other countries; 2 years for secondary in Jordan; 3 years for secondary in other countries; 3 years for college; 8 years for university). After that, those who never attended school are assigned zero years. As for those who indicated attending a religious institution, they are assigned zero years as well. FRs with Primary educational attainment are assigned the total years in which they attended primary school. FRs with secondary educational attainment in Jordan (non-Jordan) are assigned 10 (9) plus the total years in which they attended secondary school. FRs with a college degree are assigned 12 plus the total years in which they attended college. FRs with vocational training are assigned 10 plus the total years in which they attended vocational training. FRs with a university degree are assigned 12 plus the total years in which they attended university. FR Private Education is defined an indicator variable that equals unity if the FR attended a private school/university in his or her last year of study. FR Religious Education is defined an indicator variable that equals unity if the FR attended a religious school/university at any point in the past. FR Fluid Intelligence is defined as the sum of correct answers to 14 questions to Raven’s Short form Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM-SF). Then, the total score is normalized by the control group’s mean and standard deviation such that the final score has a mean of zero and standard deviation of one in the control group.

- The independent variable of interest is the TOT treatment indicator, which is the predicted value from a first-stage regression of treatment implementation on treatment assignment.

- The regressions also have assessment month-by-year fixed effects, enumerator fixed effects, community-level controls (Irbid/Mafraq governorate and population quartile), and household-level controls (vulnerability-assessment quartile, shelter program, baseline number of children, baseline number of children plus adults, respondent gender, and respondent age). In the parentheses are robust standard errors clustered at the locality level. Regressions are weighted by the number of people interviewed in each household. Statistical significance represented by * (10%), ** (5%), and *** (1%). Q-values are calculated per Anderson (2008) and correspond to Family 12 in the preanalysis plan.
