Lawrence Aber  \nNew York University Global TIES for Children  \nDespite widespread enthusiasm for remedial education programming with refugee populations, there is little rigorous evidence on how to design and implement such programs. We employ a cluster-randomized design of non-equivalent treatment groups to test the impact of access to two types of program enhancement: longer program duration and the addition of skilltargeted social and emotional learning (SEL) activities for Syrian refugees enrolled in Lebanese public schools. We find that, compared to 10 weeks of programming, 26 weeks marginally increases students’literacy skills (ES = 0.04) and significantly improves behavioral regulation (ES = 0.31), but students reported less positive perceptions of their public school environment (ES= −0.83 to −0.89) and remedial tutoring site (ES= −0.15 to −0.24). We also find that the addition of skill-targeted SEL activities to 26 weeks of programming results in higher student reports of school-related stress compared to programming without skill-targeted activities (ES = 0.21). Implications for program and policy are discussed.  \nKeywords: child development, cognitive processes/development, experimental research, international education/studies, program evaluation, randomized controlled trial, refugee education, remedial education, social-emotional learning  \nAs of 2015, an estimated 617 million school-aged children—a slight majority of school-aged children worldwide—lacked minimum proficiency in reading and mathematics (UNESCO, 2017) . Students displaced by conflict and crisis—arguably among the most vulnerable—fare even worse. More than half of 7.1 million refugee students around the world are out of school completely, temporarily, or  \npermanently. Those who are able to attend schools lag behind peers in basic literacy and numeracy skills, and enrollment rates decrease precipitously over time (OECD, 2017) . Beyond academics, pre- and postmigration experiences can leave refugees with lingering trauma that can result in cognitive and mental health challenges (Kim et al., 2020; Mendenhall et al., 2017) .  \nCreative Commons Non Commercial CC BY-NC: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons  \nAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 License ([https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)) which permits non-commercial use,  \nreproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is attributed as specified on the SAGE and Open Access pages ([https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage](https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage)).  \nBrown et al.  \nTo stem the learning loss experienced by children in crises such as armed conflicts and pandemics, and to buoy their academic proficiency, the majority of recently surveyed ministries of education report intentions to introduce and/or expand remedial education programming (UNESCO et al., 2020) . Remedial education programming is generally defined as a short-term increase in instructional time or targeted academic support to students whose proficiencies in content or skill are below expected levels for grade.
