CONALEP serves low-income students at the upper-secondary school level in Mexico. The labor market performance of CONALEP graduates has been evaluated four times in the past. These evaluations have yielded encouraging results, showing that CONALEP's graduates find jobs faster and earn higher wages than similar "control" groups. In contrast, using non-experimental methods, this paper suggests that CONALEP's graduates might earn higher wages but do not find jobs faster compared with control groups. 2012-06-25T21:56:02Z 2012-06-25T21:56:02Z 2005-04 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2005/04/5764799/evaluation-national-school-professional-technology-education-mexico http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8981 English Policy Research Working Paper; No. 3572 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Mexico
