The report provides insight into options for financing the expansion of secondary education and training in Africa. This comes with a hefty price tag and points to the need to undertake fundamental reforms swiftly. This publication messages are clear: secondary education and training in Sub-Saharan Africa faces the challenge of improved efficiency and improved quality simultaneously with a fast growing demand. Sustainable financing will also require more effective public-private partnerships, because governments have many priorities and do not have a lot of room for significant additional public funding of post-primary systems. Educational reforms are needed to expand enrollment in secondary schooling in affordable ways. These reforms will contribute to poverty reduction by increasing the levels of knowledge, skills, and capability; diminishing inequalities in access that limit social mobility and skew income distribution; and contributing to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that relate to education.CC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC RANKINGACADEMIC YEARACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATIONACCOUNTINGACHIEVEMENTADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITIESADMISSION CRITERIAAPPROPRIATE TEACHINGAUDITSBANKSBENEFICIARIESBUDGETINGCALCULATIONCENTERS OF EXCELLENCECIVIL SERVICECOLLEGESCONTINUING EDUCATIONCONTRIBUTIONSCOST OF EDUCATIONDEGREE COURSESDEGREESDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSDISTANCE LEARNINGDIVERSIFICATIONDOCTORAL STUDIESECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC REALITYEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION FACILITIESEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION PROGRAMEDUCATIONAL COSTSEDUCATIONAL MATERIALEDUCATIONAL MATERIALSEDUCATIONAL PROJECTSEDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTSEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESENROLLMENT CAPACITYENTRANCE REQUIREMENTSEXAMSEXPENDITURESFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL COSTFINANCIAL IMPACTFINANCIAL IMPACTSFINANCIAL INCENTIVESFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITYFOREIGN STUDENTSGENERAL PUBLICGRADUATE DIPLOMAGRADUATE EMPLOYMENTGRADUATION CERTIFICATEHIGH QUALITY EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION DIPLOMAHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTESHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHIGHER EDUCATION PLANNINGHIGHER EDUCATION RESEARCHHIGHER EDUCATION SECTORHIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTSHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMEINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMYINVESTMENT IN EDUCATIONINVESTMENT PROGRAMLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET DEMANDLACK OF INFORMATIONLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLONG-TERM PLANNINGMASTERS LEVELMIDDLE EASTERNNATIONAL ECONOMYNATIONAL POLICY GUIDELINESNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPSNUMBER OF STUDENTSNUMBER OF TEACHERSPAPERSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE EDUCATIONPRIVATE EDUCATION SECTORPRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATIONPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTOR INVOLVEMENTPROFESSIONAL DEGREEPROFESSIONAL TRAININGPROPERTY TAXESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATIONPUBLISHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONRAPID DEVELOPMENTRATE OF RETURNREAL COSTSRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESEARCH OPPORTUNITIESRESEARCH PROGRAMSRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESPONSIBILITIESRETIREMENTSRETRAININGSALARYSANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOLARSHIPSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLSSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSECONDARY COURSESSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY EDUCATION SECTORSECONDARY SCHOOLSOCIAL BENEFITSSOCIAL SERVICESSPORTSSTAKEHOLDERSTAKEHOLDERSSTUDENT ASSISTANCESTUDENT DEMANDSTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT FINANCIAL AIDSTUDENT FLOWSTUDENT FLOWSSTUDENT LOANSTUDENT LOANSSTUDENT POPULATIONSTUDENT POPULATIONSSTUDENTS PER YEARSUB-SAHARAN AFRICATEACHERTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER-STUDENT RATIOSTEACHERSTEACHINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EDUCATIONTRAINING COSTSTUITIONTUITION FEESTYPES OF EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY COMPLETIONUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY ADMISSIONSUNIVERSITY FACILITIESUNIVERSITY PROFESSORSUNIVERSITY STUDENTSUNIVERSITY TEACHERSVOCATIONAL COURSESVOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONVOCATIONAL TRAININGVOCATIONAL TRAINING COURSESWAGEWITHDRAWALWORK FORCEWORKING HOURSWorld Bank
