Notes: “Teacher characteristics” are salary, age, experience, teacher absence, class enrollment size, and indicators for caste, teacher status, education, training, native to school location, marital status, union status, and a multigrade class. Standard errors (in parentheses) are clustered at the school level for OLS regressions not including fixed effects and are clustered at the school year level for OLS regressions including fixed effects. Significance levels are as follows:
* p < 0.10,
↵** p < 0.05,
↵*** p < 0.01.
