Summary: | Solomon Islands has undertaken a
comprehensive assessment of the strength of its workforce
development (WfD) policies and institutions to support these
initiatives and enhance evidence based dialogue on their
implementation. This assessment has been based on the World
Bank s Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER)
systems benchmarking initiative, under which a suite of
analytical tools have been developed for important education
subsectors, including WfD. Both the process of carrying out
the SABER WfD assessment and this report are intended to
strengthen the existing deliberative processes on the major
system reforms. The tool is based on an analytical framework
that identifies three functional dimensions of WfD policies
and institutions: (1) Strategic framework, which refers to
the praxis of high level advocacy, partnership, and
coordination, typically across traditional sectoral
boundaries, in relation to the objective of aligning WfD in
critical areas to priorities for national development; (2)
System Oversight, which refers to the arrangements governing
funding, quality assurance, and learning pathways that shape
the incentives and information signals affecting the choices
of individuals, employers, training providers, and other
stakeholders; and(3) Service Delivery, which refers to the
diversity, organization, and management of training
provision, both state and non-state, that deliver results on
the ground by enabling individuals to acquire market and job
relevant skills. |
