The 2018 Report, Learning to Realize Education's Promise, is the first ever devoted entirely to education. Now is an excellent time for it: education has long been critical for human welfare, but is even more so in a time of rapid economic change. The Report explores four main themes. First, education's promise: Education is a powerful instrument for eradicating poverty and promoting shared prosperity, but fulfilling its potential requires better policies - both within and outside the education system. Second, the learning crisis: Despite gains in education access, recent learning assessments show that many young people around the world, especially from poor families, are leaving school unequipped with even the most foundational skills they need for life. At the same time, internationally comparable learning assessments show that skills in many middle-income countries lag far behind what those countries aspire to. Third, promising interventions to improve learning: Research from areas such as brain science, pedagogical innovations, or school management have identified interventions that promote learning by ensuring that learners are prepared, that teachers are skilled as well as motivated, and that other inputs support the teacher-learner relationship. Fourth, learning at scale: Achieving learning throughout an education system will require more than just scaling up effective interventions. Change requires overcoming technical and political barriers by deploying salient metrics for mobilizing actors and tracking progress, building coalitions for learning, and being adaptive when implementing programs.L’édition 2018 du Rapport sur le développement dans le monde est la première jamais consacrée dans son intégralité à l'éducation. Le rapport explore quatre thèmes principaux : 1) la promesse de l’éducation; 2) la nécessité de mettre en lumière les enseignants et l’apprentissage; 3) l’importance de garantir l’acquisition de compétences de base; et 4) le besoin de renforcer les systèmes éducatifs pour l'apprentissage.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOEDUCATION POLICYFREEDOMLEARNINGBASIC EDUCATIONPOVERTYSKILLS DEVELOPMENTTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER MOTIVATIONJOB TRAININGTVETVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL EDUCATIONEDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION MANAGEMENTPOLITICSBookWorld Bank10.1596/978-1-4648-1096-1https://doi.org/10.1596/978-1-4648-1096-1
