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. 2013-06-25T17:41:37Z 2013-06-25T17:41:37Z 2004-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/06/4991542/compensatory-education-disadvantaged-mexican-students-impact-evaluation-using-propensity-score-matching http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14176 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No.3334 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, D.C.
