Some Perspectives of Education Landscape

Basic Education:
Overall, enrollment rates have improved toward universal primary education. However, problems of quality and completion are persistent.

Lifelong Learning:
Sound formal education is necessary but no more sufficient. Boundaries between formal, nonformal, and informal learning become blurred.

Higher Education: Secondary Education:

Expansion and transformation of basic education toward universal secondary education.

Skills Development:
From TVET to workforce skills development, with greater role of industry in training provision, to improve relevance and cost-efficiency. Demand for both cognitive and noncognitive skills (soft skills).

Countries expand and diversify higher education to support economic development and improve competitiveness.
