Summary: | The Education for All (EFA) movement,
launched in 1990, has resulted in an extraordinary
mobilization of World Bank and country resources in support
of basic education over the past 15 years. World Bank EFA
financing, mostly focused on primary education, has become
increasingly progressive, targeting the most disadvantaged
countries and often the disadvantaged within countries. Over
the years of Bank support for EFA and its world conferences
in 1990 and 2000, the Bank's policy objectives for
increased support to primary education have been simple and
remarkably stable: universal primary school completion,
equality of access for girls and other disadvantaged groups,
and improved student learning outcomes. This Independent
Evaluation Group (IEG) evaluation assesses the extent to
which these objectives have been met in countries supported
by the Bank. and it provide lessons for countries in their
development strategies and for the Bank in its support to
those strategies. |
