(Note A vast majority of the 750 TELA learning centers were located in very remote areas, thus making it difficult for our Monitoring and Evaluation [M&E] team to visit and collect daily attendance data. To make up for this, we designed an SMS-based reporting system where center facilitators could send attendance data and feedback via SMS at the end of each session. We were thus able to monitor attendance, obtain feedback and also assess the popularity of the programs in hard-to-reach areas almost in real time)
