Information on quality, without punitive measures but within a supportive and collaborative environment, appears to be sufficient to improve learning outcomes. 2015-08-17T17:55:52Z 2015-08-17T17:55:52Z 2015-08 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/08/24903688/impact-accountability-intervention-diagnostic-feedback-evidence-mexico http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22436 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7393 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Mexico
