Description: The Todos a Aprender Program (TAP) has been the Colombian government’s flagship initiative for addressing low academic performance in primary schools over the past decade. While previous evaluations indicate limited overall effects due to heterogeneity in its implementation, they have underscored the importance of consistent monitoring. However, prior studies have yet to integrate implementation outcomes with program results to offer a comprehensive assessment. This study fills that gap by employing matched multilevel models and a metric treatment variable to evaluate the TAP’s impact. Results indicate that the TAP positively influences school efficiency, though its effectiveness varies significantly based on the extent of program implementation. These results highlight the need for ongoing monitoring of TAP's operation and call for further evaluation to identify the program's saturation points.
