Incentives aimed at improving teacher performance in low- and middle-income countries have often proven effective in pilots, so why aren't more countries applying them at a large scale? This question has taken on greater urgency as teachers play a key role in trying to help children catch up on learning amid the pandemic. Listen to experts debate the research and reality on the use of teacher incentives and their impact in the classroom and on student performance.
