Overview
This study assesses the causal effect of school retention strategies on the probability of school dropout in Medellin, Colombia. The probit model is estimated using microdata on enrollment published by the Ministry of National Education and data on beneficiaries of school retention programs, year 2019. Three impact evaluation methods are employed to obtain the counterfactual group of each school retention program: Self- Selected Comparisons, Propensity Score Matching, and Endogenous Treatment-Effects. Results from the latter method show that the probability of school dropout is lower for students enrolled in the School Meals Program, School Transportation Program, or Complementary School Day Program, compared to the counterfactual groups, by -1.0 pp, -3.17 pp, and -2.97 pp, respectively. However, the study finds heterogeneous effects around school retention programs, which are explained by students’ social class, nationality, and sex. Este estudio evalúa el efecto de las estrategias de retención escolar sobre la probabilidad de deserción estudiantil en Medellín, Colombia. El modelo probit se estima utilizando microdatos de matrícula consolidados por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional y datos de beneficiarios de programas de retención escolar, año 2019. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes con acceso al Programa de Alimentación Escolar, Programa de Transporte Escolar, o Programa de Jornada Escolar Complementaria reducen la probabilidad de deserción escolar en -1.0 pp, -3.17 pp, y -2.97 pp, respectivamente. Sin embargo, el estudio encuentra efectos heterogéneos significativos en torno a los programas de retención escolar que se explican por la clase social, la nacionalidad y el sexo de los estudiantes. Neste estudo, avalia-se o efeito das estratégias de permanência escolar sobre a probabilidade de evasão escolar dos estudantes em Medellín, Colômbia. O modelo probit é estimado usando microdados sobre matrículas consolidadas pelo Ministério da Educação Nacional e dados sobre beneficiários de programas de permanência escolar, de 2019. Os resultados mostram que os estudantes com acesso ao Programa de Alimentação Escolar, ao Programa de Transporte Escolar ou ao Programa de Jornada Escolar Complementar reduzem a probabilidade de abandono escolar em -1,0 p.p., -3,17 p.p. e -2,97 p.p., respectivamente. No entanto, no estudo, encontram-se efeitos heterogêneos significativos em torno dos programas de permanência escolar que são explicados pela classe social, nacionalidade e gênero dos estudantes.
