| Summary: | This education report is a compliment to
the 2017 World Bank led Armenia Systematic Country
Diagnostic (SCD), which focuses on how to improve shared
prosperity and reduce poverty in Armenia. This report
collates information from recent education studies
addressing issues with skills development and gender and
spatial differences in educational level and quality.
Concurrently, this study will try to link key macroeconomic
and demographic issues to issues related to the education
sector. Thus, this study will provide an overview of the
external and internal issues related to improving education
and be central with regards to the direction set out in the
SCD linking these to poverty and shared prosperity. This
study is organized into four main sections intended to
provide a comprehensive analysis of Armenia’s education
landscape. It will begin with an overview of Armenia’s
current social and economic context and the factors that
have contributed to it. Next, it will dive deeper into the
relationship between education and the economy and unique
spatial aspects associated with income and education
inequalities. It will then assess the key challenges within
the education system that are contributing to Armenia’s
current state of affairs. Finally, the study will present
policy recommendations based on the information analyzed. In
doing so, the aim will be to equip the Republic of Armenia
with a strong set of evidence-based education policies and
strategies that will promote broad-based prosperity and
poverty reduction and move Armenia forward in the next stage
of development. |
