The results are based on a new World Bank tool designed for this purpose, SABER-WfD. SABER-WfD is part of the World Bank's initiative on Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER) whose aim is to provide systematic assessment and documentation of the policy and institutional factors that influence the performance of key areas of national education and training systems. The SABER-WfD tool encompasses initial, continuing and targeted vocational education and training that are offered through multiple channels and focuses largely on programs at the secondary and post-secondary levels.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONSACCESS TO DATAACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCREDITATIONACCREDITATION OF PROGRAMSACHIEVEMENTSADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTUREADMISSION CRITERIAADULT EDUCATIONADULT LEARNINGADULT TRAININGADULT VOCATIONAL TRAININGADULTSART SCHOOLSBASIC COMPETENCIESBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC LITERACYBASIC SKILLSCAREERCAREER GUIDANCECOLLEGESCOMPULSORY SCHOOLINGCONTINUING EDUCATIONCOURSE OFFERINGSCREDIT TRANSFERCURRICULACURRICULUM DESIGNCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTCURRICULUM SUBJECTDECENTRALIZATIONDEVELOPMENT OF TEXTBOOKSDIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDROPOUT RATEDROPOUT RATESEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION ATTAINMENTEDUCATION CURRICULUMEDUCATION EXPENDITURESEDUCATION LAWEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION REFORMEDUCATION REFORMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCEEDUCATIONAL PROGRAMSEDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTSEDUCATIONAL SERVICESEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT GROWTHEMPLOYMENT OUTCOMESENROLLMENTENROLLMENT RATESETHNIC GROUPSEXAMEXAMSFIELDS OF STUDYFORMAL EDUCATIONGENERAL EDUCATIONGENERAL SECONDARY EDUCATIONGOVERNMENT GRANTSHIGH QUALITY TRAININGHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER PRODUCTIVITYHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESILLITERACYILLITERACY RATEINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMYINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALSINSTRUCTORSINTERNSHIPSINTERVENTIONSJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOB TRAININGKINDERGARTENSLABOR FORCELABOR MARKET DEMANDLABOR MARKET NEEDSLABOR UNIONSLABOUR MARKETLEADERSHIPLEARNERSLEARNING METHODSLEARNING OPPORTUNITIESLEARNING OUTCOMESLEARNING SOCIETYLEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENTLIFELONG LEARNINGLIFELONG LEARNING SYSTEMLOWER LEVELS OF EDUCATIONLOWER SECONDARY EDUCATIONMATHEMATICSMENTORSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILITYMULTIPLE LEARNING PATHWAYSMUNICIPAL SCHOOLSNATIONAL ASSESSMENTSNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORKNON-FORMAL TRAININGNUMBER OF TEACHERSNUMERACYOCCUPATIONAL SKILLSOCCUPATIONSOPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERSPARTICIPATION IN EDUCATIONPOST-SECONDARY EDUCATIONPRESCHOOL EDUCATIONPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPRIVATE TRAININGPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONSPROFICIENCYPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC EXPENDITURES ON EDUCATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC TRAININGQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY TRAININGREADINGRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRURAL AREASRURAL SCHOOLSSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL ADMINISTRATORSSCHOOL DEVELOPMENTSCHOOL DROPOUTSCHOOL EDUCATIONSCHOOL LEAVERSSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL YEARSECONDARY SCHOOLSSKILLED LABORSKILLED LABOR FORCESKILLED WORKERSSKILLED WORKFORCESKILLS ACQUISITIONSKILLS COMPETENCIESSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYSPECIAL EDUCATIONSPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDSSPORTSSTATE EDUCATIONAL STANDARDSSTUDENT ALLOCATIONSSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCETEACHINGTEACHING STAFFTECHNICAL COLLEGESTECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL TRAININGTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY LEVELSTRADE UNIONSTRAINEESTRAINING ACTIVITIESTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING COURSESTRAINING FACILITIESTRAINING FUNDSTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTRAINING METHODSTRAINING OPPORTUNITIESTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING SERVICESUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITY LEVELVOCATIONAL COLLEGESVOCATIONAL COURSESVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL GUIDANCEVOCATIONAL SCHOOLVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL STUDENTSVOCATIONAL TRAININGVOUCHERSVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPSYOUTHYOUTH POLICIES10.1596/17828
