However, it still\u003cbr\u003e faces major challenges in the education sector, and these challenges undermine the country's inclusivegrowth\u003cbr\u003e goal and its ambition to become a competitive upper-middle-income country.\u003cbr\u003e The authors of Sri Lanka Education Sector Assessment: Achievements, Challenges, and Policy Options offer a\u003cbr\u003e thorough review of Sri Lanka's education sector--from early childhood education through higher education.\u003cbr\u003e With this book, they attempt to answer three questions: \u003cbr\u003e - How is Sri Lanka's education system performing, especially with respect to participation rates, learning\u003cbr\u003e outcomes, and labor market outcomes?\u003cbr\u003e - How can the country address the challenges at each stage of the education process, taking into account\u003cbr\u003e both country and international experience and also best practices?\u003cbr\u003e - Which policy actions should Sri Lanka make a priority for the short and medium term?\u003cbr\u003e The authors identify the most critical constraints on performance and present strategic priorities and policy\u003cbr\u003e options to address them. To attain inclusive growth and become globally competitive, Sri Lanka needs to\u003cbr\u003e embark on integrated reforms across all levels of education. These reforms must address both short-term\u003cbr\u003e skill shortages and long-term productivity. As Sri Lanka moves up the development ladder, the priorities\u003cbr\u003e of primary, secondary, and postsecondary education must be aligned to meet the increasingly complex\u003cbr\u003e education and skill requirements.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Halil Dundar,Benoit Millot,Michelle Riboud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781464810527","brand":"World Bank Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45069764264051,"sku":"9781464810527","price":71.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_f2115e70-ed41-44cb-ae53-04bdfa097101.jpg?v=1780603587","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/sri-lanka-education-sector-assessment-achievements-challenges-and-policy-options-9781464810527","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
