This note assesses pre-university
education in Kosovo and identifies policies that can improve
education quality and equity. There is a substantial need
for improvement to the foundations of the education system,
especially in terms of coverage and quality. If Kosovo is to
reap the benefits of its demographic dividend for faster
growth and poverty reduction, making it a policy to invest
in human capital through education must be a priority. The
low levels of foundational literacy skills limit the ability
of Kosovars to develop the skills the labor market requires,
especially for those living in rural areas and minority
communities and those of low socioeconomic status. Kosovo
has made considerable progress in increasing access to
preprimary and primary education, but more needs to be done
to equitably increase coverage of preschool and secondary
education. Narrowing the wide geographic, ethnic, and
socioeconomic disparities in education outcomes and ensuring
that all children have access to quality education is
paramount. The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
is expected to further erode Kosovo’s modest improvements
made in education. Employers in Kosovo note the poor quality
of the education system and the limited practical and
professional skills students acquire. |
