World Bank2013-03-242013-03-242011-06https://hdl.handle.net/10986/12867The World Bank prepared this report on technical higher education in the Province of Buenos Aires (PBA) as part of its on-going dialogue with PBA authorities. The World Bank has a long history of engagement with Argentina in different areas of the education sector and is in-creasing its relationship with provincial governments. This report was prepared by World Bank staff. It is a companion volume to a Spanish-language report developed by the Province of Buenos Aires Commission of Science and Research (Comisión de Investigaciones Científicas, CIC). This report contains a more synoptic account of issues treated at greater length in the CIC-authored report, as well as original analysis and recommendations. The two reports should be read together and considered complements. Both reports help build on the findings of the recently published World Bank report ―Argentina Economic Memorandum for the Province of Buenos Aires: Key Public Policy Issues.‖ A key goal of this analytical work was to improve the empirical base of policymaking for technical tertiary education, especially by linking it to con-sideration of labor market demand. These reports take the diagnosis of the Economic Memo-randum as the starting point for more in-depth analysis of issues in technical tertiary education.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC SUBJECTSACCESS TO SCHOOLINGACCREDITATIONACCREDITATION SYSTEMACCREDITATION SYSTEMSADDITIONAL RESOURCESADMISSION POLICIESAPPLIED RESEARCHASSOCIATE DEGREEAVERAGE LEVELAVERAGE LEVEL OF EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC NEEDSBASIC SKILLSBLOCK GRANTSBLOCK GRANTS TO UNIVERSITIESCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAREERSCENSUS DATACLASSROOMCOGNITIVE SKILLSCOLLEGESCOMMUNITY COLLEGECOMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEMCOMMUNITY COLLEGESCOMPLETION RATESCURRICULUMCURRICULUM DESIGNDEGREE PROGRAMSDEGREESEARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC FACTORSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC SECTORSEDUCATED WORKFORCEEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION LAWEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION LEVELSEDUCATION OUTCOMESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATION SPENDINGEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATIONAL SERVICESEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT GROWTHENROLLMENT RATESEXPENDITURESFIELDS OF STUDYFINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTSFIRST GRADEFORMAL EDUCATIONFORMAL SCHOOLINGGENERAL EDUCATIONGLOBAL KNOWLEDGEGRADUATE STUDENTSGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESGROSS TERTIARY ENROLLMENTHIGH DROP-OUT RATESHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHLY EDUCATED INDIVIDUALSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINFORMATION SCIENCEINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINSTRUCTORSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNSHIPSINVESTMENTS IN EDUCATIONJOB MARKETKNOWLEDGE CREATIONKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET DEMANDLABOR MARKET NEEDSLEADERSHIPLEARNING OUTCOMESLEAVING SCHOOLLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE SKILLSLITERATURELOCAL LEVELLOCAL UNIVERSITIESMATHEMATICSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL UNIVERSITIESNUTRITIONOPEN UNIVERSITYPARITYPERFORMANCE OF STUDENTSPOSITIVE IMPACTPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL-AGED CHILDRENPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPRIVATE UNIVERSITIESPROBLEM SOLVINGPROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONPROFESSORSPROFICIENCYPROVINCIAL EDUCATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC UNIVERSITIESQUALITY EDUCATIONQUALITY LEARNINGQUALITY OF INFRASTRUCTUREREGIONAL EDUCATIONRESEARCH AGENDARESEARCHERSRETENTION RATESRURAL AREASSALARY INCREASESSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY LEVELSECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATESSECONDARY SCHOOLSSHOW HOWSIGNIFICANT IMPACTSOCIAL WORKSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT BODYSTUDENT LOANSTUDENT LOAN PROGRAMSSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT POPULATIONTEACHERTEACHER SALARIESTEACHER UNIONSTEACHER-STUDENT RATIOTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING STAFFTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNICAL FIELDSTECHNICAL SKILLSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATION FINANCINGTERTIARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONTERTIARY EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSTERTIARY EDUCATION SYSTEMTERTIARY ENROLLMENT RATETERTIARY LEVELTERTIARY STUDENTSTERTIARY SYSTEMTERTIARY TECHNICAL EDUCATIONTEST SCORESTRADITIONAL UNIVERSITIESTRAINING PROGRAMSTUITIONUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY COURSESUNIVERSITY DEGREEUNIVERSITY DEGREESUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITY GRADUATESUNIVERSITY SECTORSUNIVERSITY STUDENTSUNIVERSITY SYSTEMSURBAN AREASVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONWORK EXPERIENCEWORKERSYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/12867
