The World Development Report 2018 - Learning to Realize Education’s Promise

Sharing core norms and values
Oct 27, 2018 | World Bank

Education is essential to human welfare, particularly in a period of rapid economic and social change. The fact that far too many children are not attending school poses a moral and economic crisis that must be urgently addressed. The analysis in this annual World Bank report shows that these problems are driven not only by a failure of service delivery in schools but by deeper systemic problems. It explores four themes:  education’s promise; the need to learn; how to make schools work for learners; and how to make systems work for learning.
