The series aims to enhance the knowledge base for policy development. This report is intended to help engage a diverse audience on issues and policies in the education sector and to develop a shared vision for the future of Liberia. It is the first sector-wide report produced on the education system in Liberia since the end of the war. A policy options matrix follows the executive summary, which will provide government and partners with guidance on the key priorities to tackle. Besides consolidating information in a policy-relevant manner, this CSR makes a unique contribution to the education knowledge base by documenting not only traditional and basic indicators, such as gross enrollment rates and retention, but also examining the performance of the education system in terms of access, quality, equity, and resource allocation and utilization. The report also includes chapters on education governance and teacher management. This report highlights the country's significant education progress since the end of the 14-year civil war in 2003 and the challenges that need to be addressed.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABOLITION OF TUITION FEESACADEMIC YEARACADEMIC YEARSACCESS RATEADULT EDUCATIONADULT LITERACYADULT LITERACY RATEADULTSAPPROPRIATE TRAININGAVERAGE SCOREAVERAGE TEACHER SALARIESBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC READINGBASIC SERVICESCAREER OPPORTUNITIESCHILDREN START SCHOOLCLASS SIZECLASSROOMCLASSROOM LEVELCLASSROOM PROVISIONCLASSROOMSCOMMUNITY SCHOOLCOMMUNITY SCHOOLSCOMPLETION RATESCOMPULSORY PRIMARY EDUCATIONCURRICULUMDECENTRALIZATION OF EDUCATIONDEMAND FOR EDUCATIONDISTANCE LEARNINGDISTRICT EDUCATIONDROPOUT RATESEDUCATED STUDENTSEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION CYCLEEDUCATION EXPENDITUREEDUCATION FINANCEEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION MANAGEMENTEDUCATION OFFICESEDUCATION OFFICIALSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROVIDERSEDUCATION REFORMEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTENROLLMENT RATESENROLLMENT RATIOSENROLMENT INDICATORSENROLMENT TRENDSENROLMENTSETHNIC GROUPSEXAMINATION PASS RATESEXAMSFEMALE LITERACYFEMALE STUDENTSFEMALE TEACHERSFREE PRIMARY EDUCATIONGENDER BIASGENDER DISPARITIESGENDER DISPARITYGENDER OF TEACHERSGENDER PARITYGENDER PARITY INDEXGENDER RATIOGERGIRLSGRADE REPETITIONGROSS COMPLETION RATEGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATEGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESGROSS ENROLLMENT RATIOGROSS ENROLLMENT RATIOSGROSS ENROLMENTGROSS ENROLMENT RATEGROSS ENROLMENT RATESHIGH SCHOOLHIGH SCHOOLSHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHIGHER LEARNINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMPACT OF EDUCATIONINDEXESINTAKE RATELEARNINGLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OUTCOMESLECTURERSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIBRARIESLIFE EXPECTANCYLIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTHLITERACY PROGRAMLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL SCHOOL MANAGEMENTLOWER SECONDARY EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL SCHOOLNATIONAL UNIVERSITYNEW ENTRANTSNUMBER OF SCHOOLSNUMBER OF STUDENTSOFFICIAL SCHOOL-AGE POPULATIONOLDER CHILDRENPASS RATEPAYMENT OF TEACHERSPRIMARY CLASSESPRIMARY COMPLETIONPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY ENROLLMENTPRIMARY GRADUATESPRIMARY LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLMENTPRIMARY SCHOOL LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIMARY SCHOOL-AGED CHILDRENPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPRIMARY STUDENTPRIMARY TEACHER TRAININGPRIMARY TEACHERSPROVISION OF EDUCATIONPUBLIC EDUCATION SPENDINGPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOLSPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY TEACHERSQUALITY TRAININGREADINGREADING ROOMSREADING SKILLSRECURRENT EDUCATION EXPENDITURESREFUGEEREFUGEE POPULATIONREFUGEE SITUATIONREFUGEESRESOURCES FOR EDUCATIONRURAL AREASSANITATIONSCHOLARSHIP SCHEMESCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL CENSUSSCHOOL CHILDRENSCHOOL COMPLETIONSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL GRADUATESCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL LUNCHSCHOOL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEESCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL STAFFSCHOOL UNIFORMSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOL-AGESCHOOLINGSCIENCE LABORATORIESSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSMALL SCHOOLSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSPECIAL EDUCATIONSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT FLOWSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT LEARNING ASSESSMENTSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCETEACHERTEACHER DEPLOYMENTTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHER RATIOTEACHER RATIOSTEACHER RECRUITMENTTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING INSTITUTIONSTEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMSTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING QUALITYTEXTBOOKSTRAINEESTRAINING COURSESTRAINING FOR TEACHERSUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIVERSAL EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL TRAININGYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHReportWorld Bank10.1596/27588
