We examine a program that involves parents directly in the management of schools located in highly disadvantaged rural communities. The program, known as AGE, finances parent associations and motivates parental participation by involving them in the management of the school grants. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, we show that the AGE increased the participation of parents in monitoring school performance and decision-making. Further, we find that AGE improved intermediate school quality indicators, namely grade failure and grade repetition, controlling for the presence of a conditional cash transfer program and other educational interventions.
