  • Compensatory Education for disadvantaged students evidence from an impact evaluation study in mexico
    Research Papers in Economics, 2005
    Co-Authors: Harry Anthony Patrinos, Joseph Shapiro, Jorge Moreno O Trevino
    Abstract:

    Effectively educating all citizens is difficult in a geographically disperse and culturally heterogeneous country such as Mexico. How should Mexico educate the type of students who speak no Spanish, live in villages inaccessible by roads, or come from families that cannot afford school uniforms? Mexico began to address this challenge as early as 1971 by creating the National Council of Education Promotion (CONAFE), a division of Mexico's Secretariat of Public Education (SEP). CONAFE provides extra resources to schools that enroll disadvantaged students. CONAFE's Compensatory Education (see Box 1) programs now support more than three million students in pre-primary and primary Education, and about one million students in telesecundaria Education, or secondary Education delivered via satellite television to remote schools. A recent evaluation of the impact of CONAFE's Compensatory programs finds that CONAFE is most effective in improving primary school math learning and secondary school Spanish learning. Telesecundaria Education and bilingual Education for indigenous students are both shown to improve student achievement. CONAFE is also shown to lower primary school repetition and failure rates.

  • Compensatory Education for disadvantaged mexican students an impact evaluation using propensity score matching
    Social Science Research Network, 2004
    Co-Authors: Joseph Shapiro, Jorge Moreno O Trevino
    Abstract:

    This paper uses propensity score matching to evaluate the effectiveness of CONAFE, a Compensatory Education program in Mexico, in improving student test scores and lowering repetition and failure rates. We find that CONAFE is most effective in improving primary school math learning and secondary school Spanish learning. Telesecundaria Education and bilingual Education for indigenous students are both shown to improve student achievement. CONAFE also lowers primary school repetition and failure rates. We conclude that this Compensatory Education program can effectively improve short- term learning results for disadvantaged students, but that improvement varies by the subject of instruction and the demographic of student taught.

    Abstract:

    The authors use propensity score matching to evaluate the effectiveness of CONAFE, a Compensatory Education program in Mexico, in improving student test scores and lowering repetition and failure rates. They find that CONAFE is most effective in improving primary school math learning and secondary school Spanish learning. Secondary Education delivered by way of television to remote communities and bilingual Education for indigenous students are both shown to improve student achievement. CONAFE also lowers primary school repetition and failure rates. The authors conclude that this Compensatory Education program can effectively improve short-term learning results for disadvantaged students, but that improvement varies by the subject of instruction and the demographics of students taught.

  • impact of school quality on child labor and school attendance the case of conafe Compensatory Education program in mexico
    Social Science Research Network, 2007
    Co-Authors: Mariacristina Rossi, F C Rosati
    Abstract:

    This paper focuses on the impact that two different types of policy interventions, namely enhancing school quality and contingent cash transfers, have on child labor and school attendance in Mexico. While there are many studies on the impact of oportunidades on schooling outcomes, little evidence is available on whether school quality programs such as National Council of Education Promotion (CONAFE) also reduce child labor and help keep children in school. To carry out the analysis, it merge the oportunidades panel dataset for the years 1997 to 2000 to the CONAFE dataset containing detailed information on the school quality program components. The econometric strategy involves a bivariate probit model for child labor and schooling, both for primary school aged children and adolescents. In this way, the authors are able to control whether the impact of the program on schooling differs according to the age of the targeted child. The report findings suggest that school quality programs are not only effective in increasing school attendance, but also act as deterrents to child labor, especially for children of secondary school age.

  • More Harm than Good? : Sorting Effects in a Compensatory Education Program
    Journal of Human Resources, 2020
    Co-Authors: Laurent Davezies, Manon Garrouste
    Abstract:

    By analyzing a French program that targeted low-achieving and socially disadvantaged junior high schools we provide evidence that school-based Compensatory Education policies create sorting effects. We use geocoded original data and a regression discontinuity framework to show that the program decreases the individual probability of attending a treated school and symmetrically increases the probability of attending a private school. The effects are driven by pupils from high socioeconomic backgrounds, resulting in an increase in social segregation across schools.

  • more harm than good sorting effects in a Compensatory Education program
    Research Papers in Economics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Laurent Davezies, Manon Garrouste
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we provide evidence that Compensatory Education policies that target schools in socially deprived areas are likely to create a negative signal resulting in a sorting effect. We investigate this effect by analyzing the French "Reseaux ambition reussite" (RAR) program, which targeted low-achieving and socially disadvantaged junior high schools between 2006 and 2011. We use an original geocoded individual data set and a regression discontinuity identification strategy to assess the causal effect of the RAR program on families’ school choice. We find that individuals do adjust to school-based Compensatory Education policies, since they tend to avoid schools that enter the RAR program by enrolling in the private sector. We also find that the RAR program increases social segregation across schools, since the most socially advantaged individuals tend to avoid schools that enter the RAR program more than other pupils, by enrolling in the private sector instead.
