Therefore, as a precondition to establishing RBF systems, it is first necessary to identify the intermediate drivers of student learning to shed light on the mechanisms through which learning is achieved. 2020-04-03T21:27:42Z 2020-04-03T21:27:42Z 2018-05 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/530301531200403297/Vietnam-Identifying-Reliable-Predictors-of-Learning-for-Results-Based-Financing-in-Education http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33538 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 East Asia and Pacific Vietnam
