  1. Each coefficient represents a separate regression with the presence of at least one SEN student as the independent variable. All the regressions include year and school fixed effect as well as student, cohort, and school controls for columns 1 through 6 and family controls for columns 2 through 6. Student controls include sex and language for columns 1 through 6 and age for columns 2 through 6. Cohort controls include mean age, proportion of male students, proportion of students who speak an indigenous language, and number of students. School controls include the number of students for columns 1 through 6, and presence of at least one specialized teacher, and the proportion of repeaters when students were 3 years old for columns 1 through 4. Family controls include mothers’ age and education and number of siblings. The sample used in column 6 excludes schools without variation in SEN students. Standard errors clustered at the school level are in parentheses
  2. ***p < 0.01; **p < 0.05; *p < 0.10.
