Abstract
This paper provides novel insights into the science of scaling by examining an educa-
tional mentoring program in Mexico. The empirical analysis encompasses two indepen-
dent field experiments, and seizes a unique opportunity to learn from the government’s
implementation of the same intervention. While the program originally implemented
at scale demonstrates limited effectiveness, the introduction of a new modality with
enhanced mentor training significantly improves children’s outcomes. Mentor-parent
interactions are found to stimulate parental engagement at the community-school level.
Our findings support the hypothesis that parents can play an important role in facili-
tating the scalability of educational programs.
