The EVIDENCE series highlights REACH grants around the world to provide empirical evidence and operational lessons helpful in the design and implementation of successful performance-based programs. A REACH-supported study tested the impact of results-based incentives for meso-level officials (Resource Persons, or RPs) and teachers on teacher attendance at school. The incentives led to a 15 percentage point increase in the likelihood of a teacher being present, averaged across audit visits. The training increased the amount of time RPs spent mentoring teachers, but this increased mentoring did not lead to any changes in teaching practices. 2021-07-19T21:01:02Z 2021-07-19T21:01:02Z 2021-07 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/992241625729727608/India-Can-Results-Based-Incentives-Encourage-Teachers-to-Attend-School http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35964 English RBF Education; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief South Asia India
