Using the J-PAL educational cost effectiveness analysis methodology, a PhD student found that Ubongo Kids achieves 1354 standard deviation gains per $100. This is an order of magnitude more cost effective compared to any other intervention to which this methodology has been applied, including providing future earnings information to students, streaming by achievement and teacher incentives, all of which were found to achieve less than 100 standard deviation gains per $100 and are considered highly cost effective. For our upper-primary program, research shows that viewers in rural communities improved significantly more in math, science, and reading than control groups, and across a nationally representative sample of 35,000 Tanzanian children, our viewers performed significantly better in math on the Uwezo standardized assessment (p=0.002)
