Transition states. Adolescent girls enter the model i.e. were enrolled into the RISE trial at grade 7 in primary school. At primary school and lower secondary school it is expected that a certain proportion of girls will drop out of school due to pregnancy and other reasons while the majority progress to higher levels. It is expected that the interventions provided will have direct effect of increasing the proportion of girls that progress from primary school to junior secondary and indirect effect from junior to senior secondary. It is assumed that girls dropping out of school at each level will eventually enter into the labor market where they will be paid a certain amount of wage that corresponds to their level of education
