This is a study of the effectiveness of multiple micronutrient supplements given by teachers to their pupils on growth and educational achievements. The hypothesis is that children are deficient in multiple micronutrients and that supplements will lead to improved weight gain, growth in height and better educational achievements in tests of mathematics and language. It is also hypothesised that micronutrients will help prevent the build up of arsenic consumed in food and water as a result of geological contamination of water sources.
