We exploit the randomized implementation of “Jovem de Futuro,” a management program implemented in Brazilian public high schools. Drawing on rich administrative data, we follow students’ educational and labor market trajectories over fifteen years. We find short-term improvements in test scores and high school completion. In the long run, however, the program yields null to modest effects on college enrollment and graduation, labor market participation, and earnings.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nImproving educational outcomes remains a critical challenge in public education, particularly in settings where resource constraints and systemic inefficiencies prevail. One aspect that has received increasing attention is the role of leadership and management skills of school principals and pedagogical coordinators. There is substantial evidence showing that effective management practices are positively correlated with improved student outcomes (e.g., Grissom and Loeb (2011), Branch et al. (2012), Coelli and Green (2012), Bloom et al.(2015), Di Liberto et al. (2015), Grissom et al. (2021)) . These papers find a great dispersion  \n∗We would like to thank the Instituto Unibanco staff for sharing with us the data from the experiment and INEP staff for cooperation with their data. We are also in debt with Ricardo Paes de Barros, Ricardo Madeira, Vladimir Ponczek, Cecilia Machado, Amanda Arabage, and seminar participants at EESP-FGV, VIII CAEN-EPGE, IFS, LSE-CEP, and Instituto Unibanco for their comments and suggestions. Val´erio Londe provided excellent research assistance. An initial draft of this paper was part of Lucas Finamor’s M.A. thesis at the Sao Paulo School of Economics-FGV, under the title “Quality of education and human capital decisions: experimental evidence from Brazil”.  \nof managerial skills and practices of school principals and, usually, large positive correlations with student outcomes. However, experimental evidence on the causal effect of management practices on student outcomes remains limited, with mixed results, primarily focusing on short-term outcomes such as test scores (e.g., Fryer et al. (2017), Henriques et al. (2020), Rosa (2015)) . Whether schools’ managerial practices affect students’ long-term outcomes remains an open question.  \nIn this paper, we fill this gap by providing one of the first experimental assessments that examines the long-term effects of a management program in high schools. Our study exploits the randomized rollout of the “Jovem de Futuro” program in Brazilian public schools, which aims to enhance the leadership and management skills of school principals and pedagogical coordinators. We combine four administrative microdata sources, which yield a 15-year panel of individuals’ trajectories, including information from secondary and tertiary education, national standardized exams, and labor market outcomes. This impressive dataset, combined with the experimental implementation of the program, allows us to investigate the effects on students’ high school progression and graduation, test scores on national exams, college enrollment and completion, formal labor market participation and earnings, for as long as twelve years after high school graduation.  \nWe find that the “Jovem de Futuro” program had a positive effect on students’ test scores—consistent with previous analyses by Henriques et al. (2020) and Rosa (2015) . Students from treated schools had average effects of 7.5% of a standard deviation across all subjects","cbCaitTn5i9xA3pL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitTn5i9xA3pL","pdf",591406,2,1,27,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# I.
