Title: Annual operational review - fiscal 1992 : education and training
Abstract: World Bank lending for education and training has tripled since the mid-eighties. Presently, the Bank is not only the single largest source of external funding for education, but, it also is an important source of analytical and policy work, and actively promotes coordination in support of broad-based education development strategies. The nature and scope of lending for education shows increasing diversity. With several new and reactivating members, sector operations have become more geographically diverse, and broader in the type of programs supported. In FY92, the Bank provided loans and credits for pre-primary, primary, secondary, higher, and VET education, as well as employment, science and technology, non-formal education and adjustment. In addition, the lending instruments used in the education sector are becoming increasingly diverse. FY92 projects reflect this diversity. Finally, FY92 operations reflect diversity in their goals. Investment and policy-based lending support emerging areas of lending for quality improvement, capacity building, poverty alleviation, science and technology, and environmental education. The Bank is responding to the needs of borrowers by increasingly supporting longer term sectoral development objectives, producing a broad range of sector work, focusing on closer supervision and monitoring of projects, and implementing a variety of programs in policy research, dissemination and staff development.
