| Summary: | SABER–Tertiary Education (SABER-TE) is a
diagnostic tool to assess how education systems perform and
to identify priorities for reforms at the national level. It
is part of the World Bank’s Systems Approach for Better
Education Results (SABER), which aims to benchmark education
systems at the country level. SABER-TE focuses on seven
dimensions of tertiary education policy. The general idea is
that a strong policy environment is a prerequisite to
better-performing tertiary education institutions, including
universities, colleges, and technical and vocational
institutes. The diagnostic tool aims to help countries
assess best practices and to diagnose which policies need
urgent attention. For some policy areas, countries are
scored on specific ‘policy levers’ to help make concrete
recommendations for improvement. Each of the seven policy
dimensions can contribute to the outcomes of tertiary
education systems, although they work together in a holistic
way. By manner of illustration, a strategic plan without an
effective governance structure is just a collection of ideas
that will not be implemented; a well-designed governance
structure without a strategic plan is a meaningless
bureaucracy. This report describes the context of the
tertiary education system in Pakistan, then proceed with
scoring the seven policy dimensions with descriptions,
followed by a conclusion with a few general observations and
recommendations about tertiary education in Pakistan. |
