These measures are on the one hand aiming at improving the structure and increasing the capacity of secondary education, and on the other hand to facilitate the individuals' possibilities to enter and to succeed in secondary education. Measures may be implemented at the national, regional or local level. Author especially focuses on measures like: (a) Financial (expansion of capacity, improvement of infrastructure, support to students); (b) Provisions (attractiveness and relevance, volume, location, quality and support, selection mechanisms); (c) Counseling; (d) PTA (parent teacher associations) and other local community and school relations; and (e) Reducing factors that are hindering youth to enter or to stay in schools. This paper synthesizes the findings of the country studies, highlighting the factors contributing to more equitable and efficient transitions in secondary education, and offers conclusions and recommendations.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADOLESCENTSAGE GROUPAGE GROUPSAPPRENTICESHIP TRAININGAPTITUDESBASIC SCHOOLINGBIOLOGICAL PARENTSBOARDINGCLASSROOMCLASSROOM LEVELCOMMUNITY PROGRAMSCOMPULSORY EDUCATIONCOMPULSORY SCHOOLINGCONTEXTUAL FACTORSCOUNTRY CASE STUDIESCOURSE DELIVERYCULTURAL DEVELOPMENTDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMDONOR AGENCIESDROPOUT RATESECONOMIC CONSTRAINTSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC REFORMSEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION INDICATORSEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION REFORMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL ASPIRATIONSEDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCEEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTEDUCATIONAL EQUALIZATIONEDUCATIONAL INDICATORSEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL REFORMSEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMSENROLLMENTENROLLMENT FIGURESENROLLMENT INDICATORSENROLLMENT RATEFEMALE PARTICIPATIONFEMALE STUDENTSFINANCIAL CONSTRAINTSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFORMAL SCHOOL SYSTEMGENDER IMBALANCEGIRL CHILDGIRLSGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATEGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESGROSS ENROLLMENT RATIOHIGH DROPOUTHIGH DROPOUT RATEHIGH ENROLLMENTHIGH SCHOOLHIGHER EDUCATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTILLITERACYILLITERACY RATEJUNIOR SECONDARYLABOR MARKETLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING STRATEGIESLETLOCAL LEVELLOW ENROLLMENTLOW ENROLLMENT RATESLOWER SECONDARY EDUCATIONLOWER SECONDARY LEVELMODULAR TRAININGNATIONAL POLICIESNUMBER OF SCHOOLSOCCUPATIONSOVERALL ENROLLMENTPAPERSPARENT SUPPORTPARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATIONSPARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATIONPARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATIONSPARTICIPATION OF GIRLSPARTICIPATION RATESPASS RATEPOOR COUNTRIESPOST-PRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY EDUCATION ENROLLMENTPRIMARY ENROLLMENTPRIMARY LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENTPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRINTINGPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FUNDSPUPIL-TEACHER RATIOQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY SCHOOLINGRE-ENTRYREGIONAL TRAININGREPETITIONRURAL AREASSAHARASCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL BUILDINGSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL DEVELOPMENTSCHOOL FACILITIESSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEAVERSSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL MANAGEMENTSCHOOL PARTICIPATIONSCHOOL PLACESSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL-LEAVERSSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY ENROLLMENTSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL SYSTEMSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSTUDENT POPULATIONSTUDENT SUPPORTSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUPPLY OF TEACHERSTEACHERTEACHINGTERTIARY EDUCATIONTEXTBOOKSTRAINING CENTERSTUTORIAL PROGRAMSUNEMPLOYED YOUTHUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNIVERSAL PARTICIPATIONUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESURBAN AREASVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL TRAININGWOMEN EDUCATIONALISTSYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7342-2
