| Summary: | This engagement note provides education
sector policymakers with an overview of the status of
education across the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
countries and offers insight into the World Bank’s
strategies and approaches to supporting education reform in
the GCC region. While the Gulf countries are similar in many
ways, each country has its own contextual factors and
socioeconomic dynamic that may affect the process of
education reform. The insights offered build on the
similarities and national human development ambitions of
each country to offer broad approaches to education reform.
Keeping this in mind, country engagements will require
further refinements and tailoring to the needs of each GCC
country. The note includes an overview of the socioeconomic
context and challenges, along with a section on policy
interventions within the education sector. It concludes with
a discussion of priority areas for the sector, as well as
potential strategies for World Bank support to education
reform in the GCC. |
