Presentation

In 2010, the Inter-American Development Bank (BID) and GRADE worked together in the collection of data and analysis of the One Laptop per Child program (OLPC) with students of rural zones in Peru.  The results were published in an IADB work document. This study continues the previous one and seeks to understand how the program laptops are used in the participating and control schools after five years of operation, as well as the impact on student’s performance during the last grades in rural primary schools.
