Empirical results in economics often succeed in controlled settings but fail when scaled up. This study introduces a behavioral intervention to reduce teacher shortages by motivating high school students to pursue education degrees, delivered via WhatsApp by human promoters (humans arm) and a scalable equivalent, rule-based chatbots (chatbots arm). The humans arm significantly increased high school students’ demand for and enrollment in education majors, especially among high-performing students.

Yet, beneath the ceremonial rhetoric lies a catastrophic structuralfailure, the economic exclusion of a generation.
