Distance from district/Upazila Sadar: If the school is closer to the UEO office, the chances of the UEO visiting the school are higher. [...] Influential headmaster: If the headmaster of the school is influential (i.e., holds political power or is from a reputed family in the community), they have the ability to exert pressure on different actors and improve the governance of the school. [...] However, according to the respondents, the non-inclusion of blocks in tender documents (49.44%), limited availability (25.56%), and the need for skilled labour (8.33%), among others, remain significant barriers to the adoption of blocks. [...] BIGD conducted a mixed-method study, which included a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to measure the program’s impact on the income and employment of the participants and a simultaneous qualitative inquiry into the underlying factors behind the success and failure of the participating women. [...] However, the participation rate in the program was not very high: 55% of the participants took at least half of the classes, while just a quarter of them took all the classes.
