SUMMARY OF PROJECT STATUS AND PROPOSED CHANGES Progress toward the PDO is rated Moderately Satisfactory and 4 of 7 PDO indicators have been met. The other PDO indicators are on track to be achieved by the end of the Project. Component 1: Direct Support to schools. As it enters the final 6 months of implementation, the Project’s focus is on consolidating the interventions and extracting lessons from Project implementation thus far. The Bank and the Secretariat of Basic Education (SEB) organized a workshop on the Programa Escuelas de Tiempo Completo (PETC) in April 2018, during which results of different impact evaluations of the effect of participation in PETC on learning outcomes, school dropout, labor force participation and retention from 2008-2016 were discussed. The results were generally positive, demonstrating that participation in PETC reduced the number of students in the lowest scoring level in standardized math and language exams, increased the number of students in the highest scoring level on these exams, promoted female labor force participation, and had lasting effects. Component 2: Improving Schools’ Managerial Capacity. Activities under this component have progressed and consultations were carried out between the Mid-Term Review in October 2017 and an implementation support mission in April 2018 to understand the achievements and difficulties of the component. The most notable achievements were i) a rise in participation in capacity building activities for directors, supervisors, and parents; ii) increased continuation of participation in the interventions (most of whom were retiring directors); and iii) an increased sense of trust from the directors in the work that the supervisors perform as part of the class observation intervention. The most notable difficulties were i) the early warning information system (SisAT) still requires further consolidation; and ii) limited resources in terms of personnel to follow up on SisAT use in schools, financial resources to provide training, and a lack of training materials. Component 3: Research and Innovation. As part of the impact evaluation, the third and final data collection of the World Management Survey (WMS) in the 7 states was finalized in May 2018. The data for some States suggests some inconsistencies compared to the previous two waves of the WMS. Therefore, the data consistency will be analyzed in more detail and is expected to be completed by late September. After this data consistency exercise is completed, the impact evaluation analysis will be finalized. The proposed restructuring is a response to the Borrower's requests dated May 29, 2018 and July 20, 2018 to reallocate US$150,000 from Category 2 "Project Incremental Costs under the Project" to Category 1 "Goods, minor works and consultants' services financed under the relevant Direct Support" and US$965,000 from Category 3 "Consultants' services, non-consulting services and Capacity Building under the Project" to Category 1. Due to national budgetary restrictions, SEP was unable to carry out consulting services planned under Category 3 and will be unable to disburse the full category amount. Furthermore, resources planned for travel expenses under Category 2 were deemed ineligible by the Government of Mexico, leaving a large amount of resources undisbursed under this Category. To ensure disbursement of the full loan amount and to further strengthen the direct support provided to schools, these remaining resources will be reallocated to Category 1. III.
