Although initial conditions vary widely from country to country, this increase will inevitably intensify pressure on the education system, particularly at the secondary and tertiary levels. African countries may thus find it timely to align their education policies and strategies to the emerging challenges. A key goal is to ensure that the education system continues to develop in an efficient, equitable, and fiscally sustainable manner even as it expands to accommodate the rising numbers seeking a place in secondary and tertiary education. The rest of this report is organized as follows. Chapter two elaborates the policy context for education development in SSA. Chapter three explains the methodology and data sources. Chapter four examines the challenges and constraints posed by the sheer volume of increases in enrollments in post-primary education with which most education systems in SSA must grapple in the coming years. Taking these constraints into account, the report evaluates the scope for policy development from three perspectives in the subsequent chapters: the coverage of education systems (chapter five), the quality and cost of service delivery (chapter six), and the division of financing by public and private sources (chapter seven). The fiscal implications of plausible policy packages that SSA countries might consider are assessed in chapter eight. Chapter nine seems up the general conclusions of the report.CC BY 3.0 IGOACHIEVEMENTADVANCED TRAININGAGE GROUPSAVERAGE CLASS SIZEAVERAGE NUMBER OF STUDENTSAVERAGE TEACHER SALARIESAVERAGE TEACHER SALARYBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATION CYCLEBUDGET FOR EDUCATIONCHILD MORTALITYCHILDCARECLASS SIZECLASS SIZESCLASSROOMSCLIMATE CHANGECURRICULACURRICULUMDECISION MAKINGDEMOGRAPHIC GROWTHDEPENDENCY RATIODEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISSEMINATIONECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION BENCHMARKSEDUCATION DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION ENROLLMENTSEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION STATISTICSEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ASPIRATIONSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTEDUCATIONAL GOALSEDUCATIONAL POLICYEDUCATIONAL SERVICESEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESENROLLMENT INCREASESFERTILITYFERTILITY RATESFINANCIAL CONSTRAINTSFOOD SECURITYFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFORMAL COURSESFORMAL EDUCATIONFORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEMGERGIRLSGRADE REPETITIONGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATIOGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEHIGHER EDUCATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTIONAL HOURSINSTRUCTIONAL TIMEINTAKE RATEINTERNATIONAL EFFORTSINTERVENTIONSINVESTMENTS IN EDUCATIONLABOR MARKETLAMLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING OUTCOMESLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE SKILLSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESLOWER SECONDARY EDUCATIONLOWER SECONDARY LEVELMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMOTHERNATIONAL GOALSNATIONAL LEADERSNUMBER OF PUPILSNUMBER OF STUDENTSNUMBER OF STUDENTS PER CLASSPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATESPOST-PRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY COMPLETIONPRIMARY COMPLETION RATEPRIMARY CYCLEPRIMARY CYCLESPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY LOWER SECONDARYPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL COMPLETIONPRIMARY SCHOOL COMPLETION RATEPRIMARY SCHOOL COMPLETION RATESPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENTSPRIMARY SCHOOL LEAVERSPRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILSPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIMARY SYSTEMPROGRESSPROVISION OF SERVICESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FUNDSPUPIL-TEACHER RATIOQUALITY OF SERVICESQUALITY STANDARDSRAPID POPULATION GROWTHREMITTANCESREPEATERSREPETITION RATEREPETITION RATESRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONRESOURCE NEEDSRESOURCES FOR EDUCATIONRETURNS ON INVESTMENT IN EDUCATIONRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONSSCARCE RESOURCESSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSSCHOOL ORGANIZATIONSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL TEACHERSCHOOL-AGESCHOOL-AGE POPULATIONSCHOOLINGSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL LEAVERSSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSECONDARY SCHOOLINGSECONDARY SCHOOLSSECONDARY STUDENTSSERVICE DELIVERYSKILLED PROFESSIONALSSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL BENEFITSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL RETURNSSOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL WELFARESTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT ENROLLMENTSSTUDENT FLOWSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT TEACHER RATIOSTUDENT WELFARESTUDENT-TEACHER RATIOSTUDENT-TEACHER RATIOSSTUDENTS PER TEACHERSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTARGET POPULATIONSTEACHERTEACHER RATIOSTEACHER SALARIESTEACHERSTEACHINGTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY LEVELSTERTIARY STUDENTSUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNIVERSAL ACCESS TO SCHOOLINGUNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY COMPLETIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY SCHOOL COMPLETIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY SCHOOLINGVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL TRAININGWORKFORCEWORKING POPULATIONWORLD CONFERENCEYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8183-0
