Skills Development in AfghanistanWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-04-21)After three decades of conflict,
 Afghanistan needs a well-trained and flexible workforce to
 help rebuild the country. The conflict has decimated
 Afghanistan's training infrastructure, torn the fabric
 of human society, and relegated the country to the status of
 one of the least developed in the world. The country's
 efforts to emerge from near-total collapse is hampered by a
 number of factors, one of which is absence of a
 well-educated and -trained labor force able to acquire the
 skills and trades the country needs as it grows. A
 well-trained labor force will yield higher levels of
 productivity and be able to accommodate the changing needs
 of a post conflict economy while ensuring higher earnings
 and greater mobility for workers. Though most of the Afghan
 labor force is in the informal sector, skills acquisition
 judiciously combined with literacy and numeric programs
 should produce a workforce able to adapt modern production
 technologies and take advantage of opportunities through
 self-employment and small-enterprise development. The report
 is organized into four sections. Section one provides an
 introduction to Afghanistan. Section two focuses on recent
 economic trends and labor market demands. Section three is
 an overview of the country's education and training
 sector, while examining the main providers, recent changes
 in institutional framework, and key issues in the vocational
 education and training (VET) sector. Finally, section four
 reviews possible reforms the country will need in order to
 improve the delivery of VET services.

Strategies for Sustainable Financing of Secondary Education in Sub-Saharan Africa : Appendix 4 - Costs and Financing of Secondary Education in Ghana, A Situational AnalysisLewin, Keith M. (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008)This thematic study discusses strategies for sustainable financing of secondary education in Sub-Saharan Africa. 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.

Education, Training and Labor Market Outcomes for Youth in IndonesiaWorld Bank (World Bank, 2012-03-19)This report is part of the Analytical
 and Advisory Activities (AAA) program focusing on the
 engagement area of 'skills development,
 competitiveness, and knowledge economy' and is based on
 several background papers and technical notes written on the
 characteristics of youth employment and the role of
 education and skills in the school-to-work transition in
 Indonesia. The slow transition of graduates is explored in
 detail in section two, which pays special attention to
 differences by education levels. It highlights the
 difficulties of senior secondary school graduates in
 accessing good quality jobs and the high unemployment rate
 that they face upon graduation. Given these worrisome signs
 of young senior secondary school graduates (considered the
 lower tier of 'skilled' workers) and expected
 increases in the transition to senior secondary education
 (which are already rising rapidly), section three focuses on
 the senior secondary school level. Seeking to shed some
 light on the question of whether senior secondary education
 is providing the right skills for its students, the section
 explores the employment profile of vocational (SMK) vs.
 general (SMA) graduates and, drawing on a recent survey of
 employers, argues against a drastic increase in the
 proportion of vocational students, highlighting instead the
 need to adjust the skill base of senior secondary school
 graduates. Based on the findings, section four explores ways
 to meet the demand for skills through changes in senior
 secondary school, strengthening of the non-formal training
 system and providing targeted entrepreneurship programs.
 Finally, section five provides some overall recommendations
 going forward.
