Putting all children worldwide in school
by 2015 will constitute, collectively, the biggest building
project the world has ever seen. Some 10 million new
classrooms will be spread over 100 countries. At current
costs of about $7000 per classroom in Africa, $8000 per
classroom in Latin America, and $4000 per classroom in Asia,
the total price tag for construction will come to about $72
billion dollars through 2015, or about $6 billion annually.
In the 1960s, most World Bank education projects focused on
construction and were managed by architects. Over time, this
"hardware" approach evolved into a
"software" approach, with a much greater focus on
teaching and learning issues. Most projects are now managed
by education specialists, but construction still represents
the single largest share of World Bank lending to education
(45 percent of education lending). |
