ForewordEducation and learning raise aspirations, set values, and ultimately enrich lives. The country where I was born, the Republic of Korea, is a good example of how education can playthese important roles. After the Korean War, the population was largely illiterate and deeplyimpoverished. The World Bank said that, without constant foreign aid, Korea would find itdifficult to provide its people with more than the bare necessities of life. The World Bankconsidered even the lowest interest rate loans to the country too risky.Korea understood that education was the best way to pull itself out of economic misery,so it focused on overhauling schools and committed itself to educating every child—andeducating them well. Coupled with smart, innovative government policies and a vibrantprivate sector, the focus on education paid off. Today, not only has Korea achieved universalliteracy, but its students also perform at the highest levels in international learning assessments. It’s a high-income country and a model of successful economic development.Korea is a particularly striking example, but we can see the salutary effects of educationin many countries. Delivered well, education—and the human capital it creates—has manybenefits for economies, and for societies as a whole. For individuals, education promotesemployment, earnings, and health. It raises pride and opens new horizons. For societies, itdrives long-term economic growth, reduces poverty, spurs innovation, strengthens institutions, and fosters social cohesion.In short, education powerfully advances the World Bank Group’s twin strategic goals:ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. Given that today’s students will betomorrow’s citizens, leaders, workers, and parents, a good education is an investment withenduring benefits.But providing education is not enough. What is important, and what generates a realreturn on investment, is learning and acquiring skills. This is what truly builds humancapital. As this year’s World Development Report documents, in many countries and communities learning isn’t happening. Schooling without learning is a terrible waste of preciousresources and of human potential.Worse, it is an injustice. Without learning, students will be locked into lives of povertyand exclusion, and the children whom societies fail the most are those most in need ofa good education to succeed in life. Learning conditions are almost always much worsefor the disadvantaged, and so are learning outcomes. Moreover, far too many children stillaren’t even attending school. This is a moral and economic crisis that must be addressedimmediately.This year’s Report provides a path to address this economic and moral failure. Thedetailed analysis in this Report shows that these problems are driven not only by servicedelivery failings in schools but also by deeper systemic problems. The human capital lostxi

because of these shortcomings threatens development and jeopardizes the future of people and their societies. At the same time, rapid technological change raises the stakes: tocompete in the economy of the future, workers need strong basic skills and foundations foradaptability, creativity, and lifelong learning.To realize education’s promise, we need to prioritize learning, not just schooling. ThisReport argues that achieving learning for all will require three complementary strategies: First, assess learning to make it a serious goal. Information itself creates incentivesfor reform, but many countries lack the right metrics to measure learning. Second, act on evidence to make schools work for learning. Great schools buildstrong teacher-learner relationships in classrooms. As brain science has advancedand educators have innovated, the knowledge of how students learn mosteffectively has greatly expanded. But the way many countries, communities,and schools approach education often differs greatly from the most promising,evidence-based approaches. Third, align actors to make the entire system work for learning. Innovation inclassrooms won’t have much impact if technical and political barriers at the system level prevent a focus on learning at the school level. This is the case in manycountries stuck in low-learning traps; extricating them requires focused attentionon the deeper causes.The World Bank Group is already incorporating the key findings of this Report into ouroperations. We will continue to seek new ways to scale up our commitment to educationand apply our knowledge to serve those children whose untapped potential is wasted. Forexample, we are developing more useful measures of learning and its determinants. Weare ensuring that evidence guides operational practice to improve learning in areas such asearly-years interventions, teacher training, and educational technology. We are makingsure that our project analysis and strategic country diagnoses take into account the fullrange of system-level opportunities and limitations—including political constraints. Andwe will continue to emphasize operational approaches that allow greater innovation andagility.Underlying these efforts is the World Bank Group’s commitment to ensuring that all ofthe world’s students have the opportunity to learn. Realizing education’s promise meansgiving them the chance not only to compete in tomorrow’s economy, but also to improvetheir communities, build stronger countries, and move closer to a world that is finally freeof poverty.Jim Yong KimPresidentThe World Bank Groupxii FOREWORD

AcknowledgmentsThis year’s World Development Report (WDR) was prepared by a team led by Deon Filmerand Halsey Rogers. The core team was composed of Samer Al-Samarrai, Magdalena Bendini, Tara Béteille, David Evans, Märt Kivine, Shwetlena Sabarwal, and Alexandria Valerio,together with research analysts Malek Abu-Jawdeh, Bradley Larson, Unika Shrestha, and FeiYuan. Rafael de Hoyos and Sophie Naudeau were members of the extended team. StephenCommins provided consultations support. Mary Breeding, Ji Liu, Christian Ponce de León,Carla Cristina Solis Uehara, Alies Van Geldermalsen, and Paula Villaseñor served as consultants. The production and logistics team for the Report consisted of Brónagh Murphy andJason Victor.The Report is sponsored by the Development Economics Vice Presidency. Overall guidance for preparation of the Report was provided by Paul Romer, Senior Vice President andChief Economist, and Ana Revenga, Deputy Chief Economist. In the early months of theReport’s preparation, guidance was provided by Kaushik Basu, former Senior Vice Presidentand Chief Economist, and Indermit Gill, former Director for Development Policy. The teamis also grateful for comments and guidance from Shantayanan Devarajan, Senior Directorfor Development Economics. The Education Global Practice and the Human DevelopmentGlobal Practice Group provided consistent support to the Report team. The team is especially grateful for support and guidance provided by Jaime Saavedra, Senior Director, andLuis Benveniste, Director, of the Education Global Practice.The team received guidance from an advisory panel composed of Gordon Brown (who,together with the Chief Economist, cochaired the panel), Michelle Bachelet, RukminiBanerji, Julia Gillard, Eric Hanushek, Olli-Pekka Heinonen, Ju-Ho Lee, and Serigne MbayeThiam. Although the team valued their advice and found it very useful, the views expressedin the Report do not necessarily reflect those of the panel members.The team also benefited at an early stage from consultations on emerging themes withthe Chief Economist’s Council of Eminent Persons. Council members providing commentswere Montek Singh Ahluwalia, François Bourguignon, Heba Handoussa, Justin Yifu Lin,Ory Okolloh, Pepi Patrón, Amartya Sen, Joseph Stiglitz, Finn Tarp, and Maria HermíniaTavares de Almeida.Paul Holtz was the principal editor of the Report. Bruce Ross-Larson provided editorialguidance, and Sabra Ledent and Gwenda Larsen copyedited and proofread the Report. KurtNiedermeier was the principal graphic designer. Alejandra Bustamante and Surekha Mohanprovided resource management support for the team. Phillip Hay, Mikael Reventar, AnushkaThewarapperuma, and Roula Yazigi, together with Patricia da Camara and Kavita Watsa,provided guidance and support on communication and dissemination. Special thanks areextended to Mary Fisk, Patricia Katayama, Stephen Pazdan, and the World Bank’s FormalPublishing Program. The team would also like to thank Maria Alyanak, Laverne Cook, Mariadel Camino Hurtado, Chorching Goh, Vivian Hon, Elena Chi-Lin Lee, Nancy Tee Lim, DavidRosenblatt, and Bintao Wang for their coordinating roles.xiii
