El efecto del Acompañamiento Pedagógico sobre los rendimientos de los estudiantes de escuelas públicas rurales del Perú

The aim of the present work is to evaluate the effect of a teacher training program implemented by the Peruvian Ministry of Education called "Acompañamiento Pedagógico" (Pedagogical Accompaniment) on students performance. Using non-experimental impact evaluation techniques, measurements are made exploiting the test results of the Census of Student Assessment of 2013. The results provide evidence of positive and statistically significant impacts. However, the size of these impacts is relatively moderate. Several hypotheses could explain the effect size. These are discussed at the end of the document.
