# _Notes:_

*   significant   at   10   percent   level   **significant   at   5   percent   level   ***   significant   at   1   percent   level This   table   checks   for   differences   across   baseline   child   and   parental   characteristics   for   attriters,   i.e.   children   tested   in   the   first   year   but   not   the   second   year. Column   1   shows   the   mean   of   the   control   group   across   various   child   and   parental   characteristics.   Column   2   tests   for   differences   across   treatment   and   control (treatment-­‐control)   after   clustering   standard   errors   at   the   village   level   and   including   district   fixed   effects   since   randomization   was   stratified   by   district.   Columns   3-­‐ 8   repeat   Columns   1   and   2   while   considering   different   types   of   attriters.   We   note   that   attriters   are   not   different   across   a   range   of   child   and   household characteristics.
