Central America's single most
important educational challenge is improving learning at all
levels. Improved learning is vital for individual and
national growth, competitiveness, and quality of life.
Quality is key to completing primary education and the
Education For All goals in Central America. Higher quality
will make workers more productive, increase rates of return
to education and provide incentives for further private
investments in education. Factors inside and outside the
educational system affect educational outcomes: the
children, as influenced by their families and communities;
teachers; pedagogy and curriculum; educational materials and
infrastructure; and school management. Attending school does
not automatically provide necessary skills and knowledge.
This note, based on a new report by the World Bank, focuses
on so-called supply-side constraints to learning (school
characteristics) in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and
Nicaragua, but also mentions demand-side constraints. Policy
options are suggested to address different types of constraints. |
